How We Turn Amazing Craft Beers into Amazing Craft Beer Candles

The Artisan Candle Craft Beer Lovers LOVE!

Just like your favorite wax museum but without the creepy wax people, we memorialize good craft beer into 12 oz. of premium and completely organic candles that smell like craft beer. I know, amazing – right?

Let me tell you what we at Barley & Hops Craft Candles have done to push “the perfect gift for beer lovers” to the next level. We make craft beer candles and this is how we do it.

1. Visit brewery.
2. Talk to the master brewer.
3. Sample a flight.
4. Choose a good brew match for wax.
5. Magic stuff happens.
6. Special delivery.
7. Repeat.

“Brewery Approved” Craft Beer Candles

We are very proud to be “brewery approved.” If you have never toured a craft brewery (beer gift idea alert), you might not know what goes into making a batch of craft beer. I don’t really even know what goes into making craft beer, but what I have learned from walking into a brewery on brew day(s) is that it is taken VERY seriously. I hear terms and phrases thrown around, such as malt sugars, mash, fermentation, yeast propagation, pitching, and MANY MORE! I have seen brewers and brew assistants stirring huge kettles with huge paddles.

Craft Beer Aroma Snobs

Getting the craft beer aroma “just right” is of extreme importance to both us and the breweries we work with. We never use a brewery label or aroma without their permission or seal of approval. Barley & Hops Craft Candles is not your everyday candle maker.

We make scents that candle snobs love and craft beer drinkers crave.

Beer Candles for your Beer Lover

Are you on the search for the perfect Valentine’s Day gift for your hopped-up honey? Does your baby drool like a toothing toddler when he discovers a new favorite craft beer?

If this is you, we’ve got the PERFECT Valentine’s Day gift idea for you!

Barley & Hops Craft Candles is on a mission to create the perfect gift for the beer lover and candle lover looking for something completely new and unique.

A 6-Pack or a Growler Built For Two & A Candle That Compliments His Favorite Brew

Step 1:
Barley & Hops Craft Candles has a beer candle for every kind of beer lover. Our candles are inspired by only the finest craft beers, most of which can be found in your local brewery. If your lover is more of the hoppy type, we have a fantastic selection of IPA style brew candles to make him smile. If he is more into the darker beer variety, we have some stout and porter brewery candles that will have him reading you poetry by candlelight in no time.

Step 2:
Take a trip to either your neighborhood liquor store or better yet, keep it local and stop into your local brewery!

If you aren’t sure if your city or town has a brewery, get to Googling! (Just click the link, we’ve done it for you!) You might be surprised!  If you have never been to a brewery, we highly suggest you take a little field trip. While you are there, take some time and read over the beer menu. If you aren’t a craft beer drinker, this is the perfect opportunity for you to do some research.

One of the most wonderful things about a brewery is a flight. A flight can either be 4 or 5 5-oz size beer samples of your choice. If you aren’t sure where to start, talk to your Craft Beer Specialist (bartender.) I have NEVER met a Craft Beer Specialist that doesn’t love their job more! They can walk you through how to read the menu, make suggestions on what you might like, and instruct you on the proper way to “taste” a craft beer. Once you have found a craft beer that you like, you can take it home in Growler form! Not only will he get an AMAZING beer, he will be able to share it with YOU!

Step 3:
Put it all together! Do your thing, get creative! Honestly, you won’t have to do much. Grab a couple of pint glasses (if you don’t have any, pick a couple up!), the Growler, and the craft beer candle of your choice. Put them together on the table of your choosing. Now wait….

What happens from there is all you. I CAN say, your love bug will NOT be disappointed.
