Beer Gifts for Your Loved Ones on Valentines Day

As we approach Valentine's Day and we start talking about newer seasonals I thought I would let you know about some possible gift items to give your loved ones for that day. In case you hadn't see it, you can now buy her (or him) such delicious treats as Hopdrops, Beer Taffy and just plain old caramels. Of course, these caramels are India Pale Ale or Lager caramels wrapped in chocolate. The hopdrops are "wonderfully hoppy hard candies that will make your mouth jump to life".
A couple brewers from Southern California started up their company, appropriately called Beercandy, the First Candy for Beer Lovers a few years ago. Read about them here. Why not?

A manufacturer has not something new with melted beer bottles, making them into clocks. This looks interesting and a little different. I have seen melted wine bottles used for spoon rests or candy dishes and I suppose a melted bomber can be used for nuts or pretzels or other common beer drinkers accompaniments too. These guys are not the only ones to do it, others do melting or "slumping" as they call it, but it is kind of different. If I was going through the trouble I wouldn't do a Coors Light one, but I guess that is someone's preference.

Finally, just a plain old beer gift is appropriate, and it almost would take a home-brewer, like one of my neighbors, to come up with a good beer with an appropriate name. One friend in particular came up with a brew called "PantyDropper", but it was a limited run. Other beers out there that are designed for Valentines Day are anything with chocolate, like the Brooklyn Chocolate Stout, Tyranena's Down and Dirty Chocolate Oatmeal Stout, or any of the many others. These don't necessarily set themselves apart as Valentines Day only, but I think they work. This one here we tasted at Bingo's house around Christmas time, and it was a massive sweet knockout beer that required a drinking in the huge wine goblet.
