For my best-friend's 21st birthday I am getting him things to put in our mini-bar that we are going to get this upcoming school year. We are both in college right now and he is a big beer drinker, of course. He just got back from studying abroad in France and traveled to every nearby nation while he was there. I want to get him things that other guys are going to see and be like "wow, that's so cool." Any suggestions?

How about a drinking boot? They are popular in Germany and are usually made out of glass and are in the shape of a boot. The trick is to drink from the boot without making it glug - very tricky! Some nice beer steins would be a great idea as well.

Actually, Imperial Pint glasses! That's what they use in English Pubs. We use the standard 16oz'ers here, but they use 20. You'll find that the more authentic British-style pubs in the US will ise 20 oz Imperial Pint glasses as well.
Or if you're going for something really special, authentic and a conversation piece, get him a half yard. That's a tall hand-blown drinking glass in a stand.

I like the heavy glass beer mugs with handles. I bought the tall, glass ones but they were fragile and broke right away. Also, steins are cool.

I agree w/the heavy duty mugs idea. Too many beer glasses break easily when washing. Coasters would be nice too.

I would get him pilsner glasses. They're specifically designed to keep your beer from getting flat, and you can get them with all kinds of cool bar designs, so you can pick his favorite beer....coordinates with the whole mini bar theme. :)
