A Beer Basket Really Can Be Good For Your Health

Often times it is difficult to find just the right gift for someone. If you have friends that drink beer then a beer basket or a beer related gift may be a fun and light-hearted gift to give.

A beer basket rarely comes with just beer in it, more often than not the beer is accompanied by some tasty snacks, just right for a cozy night in.

A beer basket don't even need to have any beer actually in them. It could hold beer related gifts such as an ice bucket for chilling the beer, a sturdy opener, a beer mug and treats such as nuts, crisps and savouries. You could include a gift certificate in the beer basket so that the recipient could purchase their own beer.

Beer baskets can be bought locally or from the internet. How great it is to be able to shop on the internet. I purchased a new mattress just the other day and it would probably have taken me a whole day out in the cold wandering round bed shops weighing up prices and specifications, if I had done it locally. On the internet you can compare prices for any item at the click of a button, in the warmth of your own home and even have a brew while you're doing it. Plus many places give free delivery.

If you have the time and want to make your beer basket extra special you could put one together yourself. Plastic wrap, baskets and bows to finish them off with are all readily available. You don't even have to use a beer basket you could use a home brew bucket and include a few home brew items in it as well. the basket/bucket it may be nice to add some speciality beers for your friend to try.

Beer has been around for thousands of years, apparently pre-historic man learned to make beer from grains before he learnt to make bread (that sounds about right!) Allegedly Noah had a little stock of the amber nectar in his arc and in ancient Babylon clay tables had recipes for beer on the dating back to 4300BC.

Beer is not bad for your health, it's the amount of it that people drink that is. Research has show that beer can help in reducing stress and the risk of heart disease if drunk in moderation. Due to the malted barley beer is a good source of fibre. If you consume alcohol moderately, research has shown that this can assist in improving your memory obviously if you drink too much the opposite applies and you brain cells can be destroyed.

Another old wives tale is that beer makes you fat - So does anything if you consume enough of it, except perhaps lettuce! What about all those beer bellies I hear you ask. They are caused by drinking too much of it. If beer is drunk in moderation there should be no problems.

If you really don't want to purchase your friends the 'demon drink' by way of beer baskets then there are plenty of beer related gifts that you can consider instead such as key chains, mirrors, glasses, bottle openers and even wallets.

T-shirts and cap with the logo of the person's favourite beer are quite popular although you can get almost any item of clothing with logos on.
