A Bubbly Foamy Valentine’s Day for All
Greetings Beer-loving Faithful. USABeerTrends asked you if you are giving and getting beer for Valentine’s Day and a few of you chimed in. We heard from loving beer-lovers in California, Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire New York, Texas, North Carolina, Michigan, Colorado, Delaware, Belgium and Costa Rica.
36% of you are 21-30 years old, 10% are 31-40 years old, 37% are 41-50 years old and 17% are 51-60.
What the ... a present? For me?
When asked what beer you’ll be giving your loving beer-lover, answers ranged from none, to “what lover?” (poor PJ!), to home brew. Oh there were some other beers mentioned, from the fruity Sam Smith’s Organic Strawberry to Lindeman’s Framboise and Casis. Others getting into the spirit suggested Sexual Chocolate Stout from Foothills Brewing, and some may be hoping to get a little bubbly by giving DeuS from Bosteels in Belgium. Speaking of Belgium, there are a few of you are hoping to get a little closer to sainthood on St. Valentine’s Day by giving St. Bernardus Alt 12 … mmm, Quadruple love.
Now, as far as the getting goes, things don’t change too much from the giving. In addition to the chocolaty, fruity, saintly brews above, you’ve asked us to drop these hints to your lover. Here’s what you’d love to find wrapped in a heart-shaped box come Valentine’s Day: Pliny the Younger (I hope they were in line with their 4 growlers for this one, or you’re outta luck), Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA, Allagash Curieux in all of its oak barrel aged Jim Beam goodness, Goose Island Bourbon County Stout, Imperial Stout Trooper from out friends at New England Brewing Co., more Belgian-y Champagne-y brews like Scaldis Prestige for the bubbly set, and Duck Duck Gooze (for poor PJ). And nothin’ says lovin’ like a little Tactical Nuclear Penguin, right?
So, there it is. A list of good suggestions all around.
Happy Valentine’s to all of you, the Beer Faithful.
Remember what Paul said, “And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make“.
Love,
Your USABeerTrends Beer Cupids
