We’re a little late for the 12 days of Christmas as Santa will soon suit up and head to a chimney near you.
With that in mind… Have you taken care of all the beer-loving gents and gals on your list? Have you picked up stuffers for those stockings?
If not, we’ve got some last-minute gift ideas for you from our friends in the greater Los Angeles craft beer community.
If there’s any that we missed, please feel free to share in the comments! And it goes without saying that your local neighborhood brewery could use your support now more than ever. So if you’re in the holiday spirit or just thirsty — drop in, grab a couple of your favorite brews and a gift card, and show your support!
Now… on with the gift guide!
Hopped LA’s Holiday Hop Box
We can’t put together a holiday beer gift guide without mentioning our own Holiday Hop Box. This extremely limited release features 8 awesome beers from 8 Los Angeles breweries, all curated by Hopped LA. We’re also including a brand new exclusive t-shirt design and access to a live virtual tasting of all 8 beers plus a link to the video replay. The boxes will be delivered to your door the last week of December before New Years’. Available for LA County addresses only.

Ticket to Fresh Year Fresh Beer Fest (Virtual Festival)
The first virtual beer festival of 2021 drops just a few weeks into the New Year on January 16, and it’s one you won’t want to miss! Nine of the area’s finest breweries are participating in this event, with guided tastings, music, trivia, and more! Grab a friend and split it or settle into your couch and go for it on your own. Totally your call!

The 2020 LA Brewers Shirt
Our very own Hopped LA 2020 tee shows love for all of the breweries in the area (101 of them, to be exact). This is our best shirt yet if we do say so ourselves! Help show some love for Los Angeles independent craft beer.
Priced at $30. Purchase online here.
Stocking Stuffers
If your local or favorite brewery isn’t on the list, consider dropping in for stocking stuffers or some sudsy merch for the beer lover on your gift list. Ask for items like:
- stickers
- buttons and pins
- ornaments
- coasters
- glassware
- openers
- keychains
- socks
- tees
- hats/beanies
- etc.
And of course, you can never go wrong with a gift card!
With enough good cheer and good beer, we’ll all make it through this holiday season. Happy shopping!
