Last-minute gifts
Tria Cafe (11th & Spruce, WashWest & 18th & Sansom, Rittenhouse Square) has an incredible deal for holiday shoppers, if you can make your way over there today by 4 p.m.: Buy a $100 gift certificate for a pal and get a $25 gift card for yourself. Or keep the $100 card and give the other one to a drinking buddy - he won’t know the difference.
Here are a few other ideas I mentioned in a column a couple weeks ago:
- Look for “Beer Lovers Britain” by Jeff Evans of InsideBeer.com ($9.98) or Bob Skilnik’s “Does My Butt Look Big in This Beer” ($7) at DrinkHealthyDrinkSmart.com.
- For a great laugh, download the audio version of “I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell” by Tucker Max at Audible.com.
- Make sure you never forget a gift again: Sign your pal up for a membership in a beer-of-the-month club. I can recommend BeerOnTheWall.com and RareBeerClub.BeverageBistro.com, both of which ship into Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware.*
*Obligatory warning: state law (72 Pa. C. S. Section 9011) continues to prohibit the receipt or possession of beer that has not been properly taxed, thus banning home delivery of beer by mail. It’s the experience of both Joe Sixpack and many Pennsylvania beer drinkers, however, that the regulation is not strictly enforced against individuals. Proceed with caution.
