Just like Mother’s Day comes along once a year to celebrate moms all over the world, Father’s Day is a day reserved for celebrating dads. In the United States, Father’s Day is designated as the third Sunday in June, although in other parts of the world, it may fall on a different day.

Like Mother’s Day, many people take time on this day to spend time with their dads, to tell them how special they are and to give them gifts to show their appreciation. The problem is that many are often stumped as to what to buy dad for Father’s Day, other than a tie (which he probably doesn’t really need.) Moms are a little easier – they are often happy with flowers, candy or a gift certificate to a spa or restaurant. Buying for dad can be a little trickier sometimes.

If your dad or your husband likes to drink beer, the perfect Father’s Day gift may be to buy him a kegerator. A kegerator is the ultimate in man-gifts for those that love beer. It’s a novelty item that he may not buy for himself, and is something he probably doesn’t already have. So, unlike another tie that will hang in his closet unworn, the gift of a kegerator will be appreciated, enjoyed and used over and over and over. In fact, giving dad a kegerator may be one of the greatest gifts he’s ever received – except of course the gift of having you as his child.

Kegerators come in all sizes and with a variety of different functions. There are single tap kegerators and multi tap kegerators to choose from, depending on how much variety you want to give dad for his beer tapping pursuits. There are kegerator-fridge combos, so if you know that dad likes his beer, but mom prefers wine and would be more inclined to let dad keep the kegerator if she could chill her wine right beside it, then you may want to opt for this option. There are even mini kegerators that can be put on a table top or that dad can take with him if he enjoys going camping, boating or tailgating. Or if he simply needs to leave the house in order to enjoy his beer.

Along with a variety of sizes and functions, there is a variety of kegerator prices as well. Mini kegerators can be bought for around $100 or more, while some of the bigger kegerator models can cost as much as a few hundred to a few thousand dollars. How much you are willing to spend so dad can have his very own draft beer dispenser will depend on your budget, whether you are chipping in with others in the family, and more, but rest assured that at least the money you spend on a kegerator will be money well spent. Dad will get much more use and enjoyment out of a kegerator than he will out of another tie, or a tool set, or something that he doesn’t really want or need.

So, if you’re stumped about what to get dad this upcoming Father’s Day holiday, make your gift something that really shows how much you appreciate him by getting him a kegerator.
