What are the best personalized beer mugs and gifts for beer lovers?

Shop NowHow do you choose a personalized beer gift?
Choose a personalized beer gift by matching the glass to how he drinks: a mug or stein for the everyday beer, a pilsner or chalice for the craft beer fan, and a growler or pint set for the guy who hosts. Then pick a design that says something about him, like his name, hometown, heritage or hobby.
Quick filter: If it looks like a glass from any bar, make it his. Add his name, his initial, his hometown or the year that matters, so it is the glass nobody else at the party picks up.

Frequently asked questions about personalized beer mugs
What is a good personalized beer mug for a boyfriend?
A good personalized beer mug for a boyfriend has his name or your initials together on it. The Engraved Name Beer Stein puts his name down the side of a 25 oz stein, the Two Monogram Beer Mug Gift pairs both of your initials, and the Portrait Pour Photo Pint Glass etches a favorite photo of the two of you.
What do you get a beer lover who has everything?
Get a beer lover who has everything a glass made only for him, with his name, his hometown or his family crest carved into it. The Street Maps Etched Beer Mug maps any town, and the Engraved Growler and Pint Set monograms his whole home bar.
What is the difference between a beer mug and a beer stein?
A beer mug is a heavy glass with a handle, while a beer stein traditionally has a larger body and sometimes a lid, though today the two words are often used for the same handled glass. The Engraved Name Beer Stein holds 25 oz, and most of our sand-carved mugs, like the Personalized Pub Beer Mug, hold 23 oz.
What are good Christmas gifts for beer lovers?
Good Christmas gifts for beer lovers are personalized glasses he will use all winter, like a mug, a pint set or a growler. The Personalized Dad's Beer Stein Mug fits a stocking, and the Custom Shield Beer Mug Set of 4 covers the holiday party. Order by the first week of December so personalization and shipping finish in time.
What is the difference between sand-carved and laser-etched beer glasses?
Sand-carved beer glasses have the design blasted deep into the glass, so the lettering stands out in raised 3D you can feel. Laser-etched glasses have a crisp, flat frosted or white design on the surface. The Personalized Celtic Beer Mug is sand-carved, and the Brewmaster's Personalized Pint Set is laser-etched.
How long does it take to get a personalized beer mug?
A personalized beer mug is made after you order, so allow time for engraving plus shipping. Each product page shows its own ready-to-ship estimate, and that is the one to trust. Sand-carved mugs and growler sets take a little longer than laser-etched pints, so order a week or two ahead of the birthday, party or holiday.
