What to buy at every budget
Under £20
A mixed 6-pack or 12-pack from Beavertown, Camden Town, or Thornbridge is an excellent casual gift. Look for Beavertown Neck Oil, Camden Hells, and BrewDog Punk IPA as reliable crowd-pleasers most supermarkets now carry.
£20–£45
A curated mixed case from Beer52 (UK's leading beer subscription — one-off boxes available) or a brewery-specific 12-pack from Verdant, Cloudwater, or The Kernel. For cider lovers, a premium Heck's or Oliver's selection from The Real Cider Co.
£45–£80
Cloudwater's collaboration packs and the Kernel's mixed case represent enthusiast-level gifting. Magic Rock's Cannonball series packs are a Yorkshire craft highlight.
Over £80
A subscription to Beer52, BrewDog's Craft Beer Club, or Thornbridge's cellar club — gifts that keep giving monthly. A case of Buxton Yellow Belly (one of the UK's most sought-after stouts) is the collector-grade option.
Frequently asked questions
What's the best craft beer gift for someone who normally drinks Stella or Peroni?

Are craft beer subscription boxes good gifts?
Beer52 is the most popular in the UK — a monthly box of 8–10 beers from independent breweries worldwide, with a magazine. One-off boxes are available from Beer52 and are an excellent gift without ongoing commitment.
What's the best cider gift for someone who loves proper cider?
Move past Kopparberg and Strongbow and into artisan cider. Heck's Kingston Black, Oliver's Fine Cider, and Hawke's Urban Orchard are the craft producers that show what British cider can really be.
