Holiday Gift Guide
Thoughtful. Experiential. Exceptional. Give the gift of experience -- Of making memories together.
Every year, we work with our team of artisans to curate a list of ideas to express your love and appreciation to everybody in your life. Whether it’s a heartfelt note wrapped around a beer bottle, a beer or wine membership as the gift that gives all year, or the opportunity to partake of an experience shared together, we’re confident you can find something for anybody on your list!
Experiences _____
Whether it’s tickets to paired beer dinner, guided distiller-led whiskey tasting, an interactive cocktail-making class, or a just-educational-enough Sunday (wine) School with Julie, we are firm believers in experience over things. And boy, do we have some experiences for you!
Sunday (wine) School
A weekly wine class (and tasting, of course) with Julie, exploring the grapes, regions, and styles of the entirety of the wine world, targeted from absolute beginner through a moderately-nerdy middle ground
Classes start again in February, 2025
Community Nights
Whether it’s our family-style pasta dinners, our art-centric activities, or some of our flagship non-profit fundraising partnerships, come meet your neighbors, make friends, and create memories.
Whiskey Church
Partnering with the Colorado Spirits Collective, this once-a-month gathering welcomes a new Colorado-based distillery every month for a guided tasting.
Paired Dinners
Kicking off with WINE || LOVE, a Valentine’s dinner, then our second annual dinner featuring Lockhart Honey Farms, to Bob’s music dinner, the only dinner we know of where each course is paired with music, they’ll continue approximately monthly throughout the year!
________
Tickets are available for many of these already to be purchased as gifts, or simply purchase a gift card to be traded in as schedules permit.
Handwritten Love Note Bottles _____
We have more than 65 varieties of Local Relic beer available in bottles perfect for gifting. On their own, they make great gifts, but we want to help you put that special touch on it! We’ve got a handful of label designs just waiting for your heartfelt, handwritten note. We’ll help you handpick the right bottle, and then you take it over the top!
We have regular pop-up opportunities to stop in and grab bottles, but if you’re in a pinch, give us a call, and we can probably have somebody meet you there!
Twelve Beers of Christmas _____
Mom always reminded us to never arrive to the party empty handed. And have no fear, Ben, Local Relic’s brewer extraordinaire, has just the thing for you! He’s crafted twelve exceptional beers sure to get the whole crew talking.
Or, maybe you’re having a crowd over to your place? Get the conversation started with a selection of bottles to taste. The experts (aka Jeff) say the best way to enjoy Local Relic beers is by getting a variety of different bottles and cracking them open for everybody to share. And he’d know!
We’ll have individual bottles for sale, or pick up the complete set for a pretty sweet discount! Members don’t even have to wait in line — they can pre-order by email so they don’t miss out. Wait — what’s that you say? What memberships? Read on…
Memberships _____
Local Relic is the O.G. membership in town — like a wine-of-the-month club and a CSA-style farm-share had a baby, you’ll get one bottle each of Ben’s four favorite beers that he made each month. Add to that first-flight-free privileges, first dibs on new special releases, and early access to special events and tastings, and it’s the best deal in town. www.localrelic.com/memberships
Julie, sommelier at Crusade, is excited to bring her own membership program to you, brand new this year! She has the opportunity to taste dozens (sometimes hundreds) of wines a month, and works to source the most interesting, out-of-the-box wines to share with you. You get exclusive discounts on flights and bottles, plus included bottles to help you build out your cellar at home. www.thecarterpayne.com/wine-memberships
Members of both clubs score invites to our monthly member’s only dinner parties, where you get to meet like minded members of the community while enjoying special dinner offerings from Chef Brent and his team.
Provisions at the Pulpit _____
If you’ve been missing the Sanctuary Salad, have no fear — Chef Brent is proud to offer his famous Smoked Tea Vinaigrette for you to take home. But that’s not all! Y’all have been asking for his house-lacto-fermented salsas and fermented hot sauces, and he’s delivering. Finally, we still have a few bottles of our seasonal house-fermented vinegars. Supplies are limited!
We say it a lot, but it bears repeating: every dollar you spend is a vote for what you want to see in the world. And from the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your support and for another wonderful year!
