Last year I started a tradition of brewing beers to give as Christmas gifts. Last year it was 4 cases of maple porter. This year I'd like to brew 6 cases, 3 different 5 gal batches. Everyone would get a 6er of assorted homebrew.
I'm thinking a BoPils, an APA, and a porter. Or maybe a BoPils, English bitter, and SNCA clone.
What do you all recommend? |

I like to make Holiday gifts of the best beers I can make. IPAs and Porters. These are also beers that the recipients don't regularly consume...they are much appreciated.

I like the idea of having a lighter "looking" beer, a amberish colored beer, and a darker beer all in the same six pack. Most of my relatives still believe that if it is black it is thick and un-drinkable. Mix it up and give them something to taste, and think about!

I was thinking about a straw colored beer, a copper colored beer, and a dark brown or black beer. Maybe I should really mix them up and make a very strong light colored beer, and a weak, black beer.
What about a Belgian wit with a little corriander and orange peel? |

My brew partner and I are planning to save at least one beer from every batch we do between now and Christmas and put together a "sampler" pack for each one of our staff, along with a monogrammed pint glass, and perhaps some aquavit that I am playing with. Your idea sounds like it's on par with ours and I thinks it's a good way to go.
