Looking for a last-minute gift to wow your Valentine? We asked our experts, the Barley Creek Brew Crew, to come up with the best gifts for the craft beer and distillery lovers in your life. They chose their favorite BC product and the best candy (or snack) they would pair it with. So here you have it, the top 6 Valentine’s Day gifts:
3x Chocolate Vodka and Pirouline: Matt was quick to answer with this one. Our 3x Chocolate Vodka is distilled with 3 different types of chocolate and we love it with any hot drink this time of year. Plus, the Pirouline will make the perfect straw for your drink of choice!
Botanical Gin and Red Starbursts: Looking for a burst of flavor? So is Darren! Botanical Gin is distilled with juniper berries, citrus peel, licorice root, lavender, cardamom, angelica and coriander. Perfect for drinking as a gin and tonic, with the best snack, red starbursts.
Slippery Slope and Toblerone: You know it’s a great beer when it is Jordan’s favorite, and it is only available seasonally! Slippery Slope is brewed for our friends coming from the mountain and is the perfect pale ale to pair with Toblerone. Yep - something about the smoothness of Slippery Slope with the almonds and honey of the Toblerone that make the perfect match!
Navigator Golden Ale and Tootsie Roll: Jarett is so confident in these that we all have to try it for ourselves. Navigator Golden Ale is one of our year-round flagships and has a crisp finish that makes it a fan favorite for a reason. Pair that with the taffy of the Tootsie Roll and you get the best of both worlds.
Iron Arm Belgian Wheat and Sour Patch Kids: Sour. Sweet. Perfect with Belgian Wheat - Casey’s favorite beer. The sweet and fruity sour patch kids complement the orange and citrus in our Iron Arm Belgian Wheat.
King Phillips and Take 5: Last but not least, the picks from Mike Stratton. Pair our award-winning English Pale Ale with the sweet and salty caramel of a Take 5. What a great idea! And it’s Mike, so we trust him.
Of course, you can get creative on your own, too! Barley Creek has more than 10 different types of canned beer, 20 taps to fill a growler from, and 25 different craft distilled spirits. Plus, we’ve got a Brewtique full of great brew gear, so you can mix and match the perfect gift, brewed with love.
