The 2023 Green Bench Gift Guide

‘Tis the season for…giving! For gifting! For Floridians to come out of hiding for fear of melting into a puddle of sunscreen and regret for leaving the house! And whether you’re shopping for yourself or someone else, we’ve got a cooler full of beer and some fancy new merch to show off. So let’s get into The 2023 Green Bench Gift Guide and how to shop for all the beer folks in your circle. 

Gifts for…

…The Long Time Listener First Time Caller:

Have someone in your life you’ve been talking Green Bench beer to but they haven’t had the opportunity to try the goods? Start with one of the classics. Sunshine City IPA, Postcard Pils, Bench Life, and Skyway Hazy DIPA are great ways to showcase part of the diverse offerings that Green Bench brews. 

…The Wine Drinker Who’s Beer Curious:

Both our Webb’s City Cellar brands and our ciders are excellent gateways for the wine drinker. Does the giftee drink crisp, dry, acidic white wine? Try Alice Blend 4 or Petals. Any of the ciders would fit that bill as well. The brightest, zippiest of the bunch being Bitterblend. Chardonnay? Perhaps Stead Ale, our Table Beer. 

…The Do-You-Have-Anything-Like-[insert Domestic brand here] Drinker: 

At Green Bench guests need not feel shame for searching for something like an imported or American domestic lager. Not only do two of our core brands (Bench Life and Postcard) satisfy that craving, but we also offer myriad other lagers that are sure to delight. Newest to the lager family is Exquisite Gold, a German-inspired Munich-style Export Pale Lager that was a collaboration with Hercules Brewing (Mexico). 

…The Host(ess) With The Most(ess): 

Do you find your friend dabbling in the natural wine world? A bottle of Giants in the Sky, our Pet-Nat-Inspired cider would be a beautiful bottle to bring to dinner or the party. 

…The T-Shirt-Collector:

We just launched a brand new line of t-shirts and hats that are now available for purchase seven days a week in our tasting room! 

…The Picky One (see also: The One Who’s Got It All): 

100% certain that they’re a Green Bench fan but not entirely sure what to get ‘em? Go for a gift card. Some might argue that a gift card can feel impersonal, but truly what it’s saying is, “I see you. I like you. And I trust you to know your taste more than I trust my own.” Gift cards are available in both tasting rooms, as well as online. (Please note that online gift card purchases must be physically mailed either to you or the recipient.)
