Anyone else get inundated with beer related gifts this Christmas?
I've been homebrewing for about a year and a half now and in my circle of friends and my family I'm definitely now known as the "beer guy" or "brewmaster" (far from it I'm sure) so of course this year at Christmas well over 75% of the gifts I received were beer related.
Sounds great, and I definitely appreciated the thought, but it gets kinda annoying receiving 5 or 6 different homebrew recipe books I know I'll never use, or even more sets of beer mugs to fill up the cabinets.
Not being ungrateful - but I think if someone has a hobby they're probably particular enough about their gear where they prefer to buy it on their own.
On the flip side though my wife bought me a refractometer which I've been wanting for quite some time!
Anyone else have a similar experience?
