Wat een fantastische service. Ik heb enkele relatiegeschenken besteld en een daarvan naar mijzelf laten sturen om te ervaren hoe het pakket eruit ziet. Er ontbrak iets, maar dat bleek mijn eigen fout te zijn geweest. Bij de bestelling heb ik dit over het hoofd gezien.Hoewel de andere pakketten al ingepakt klaar stonden voor verzending, zijn deze in overleg met Jurien aangepast en alsnog verzonden zoals ik ze graag had gewild.Dit geeft aan dat Food & Wood de klanten echt belangrijk vindt. Dank daarvoor.

Pamela thought extensively in advance so that she was perfectly prepared. The quality of both the service and the food was very good! For our wedding we had delicious and beautifully decorated drinks boards, exactly according to our wishes! We also asked if Food & Wood would also like to take care of the layout of our cake table. This was also very well done! Afterwards they neatly packed all the leftovers so that we could enjoy them in the evening, perfect! Unfortunately, we do not (yet) have a photo of the snacks when they were served, only of the neatly served leftovers and the cake table.

Great company, the delivery person reported twice that no one was home (without having been there) and the package was returned to sender. Food & Wood immediately sent another new package and luckily the delivery person came by. Thanks to Food & Wood's quick action, I still received the birthday gift on time. Really great service! Can recommend Food & Wood to everyone.

I gave the Primavera Borrelplank to my sister and her boyfriend, including the free Pinot Grigio wine that they received for free with the monthly promotion and they loved it. The description was ideal for putting the shelf together! :D

Last week was the national Week without Meat and of course we as an organization also participated in it. For example, colleagues could participate in an acquaintance Quiz and have a chance to win a vegetarian drinks box. In the end we had drawn 6 lucky winners. Pamela is happy to think along with you about possibilities and is very service-oriented. I can definitely recommend the drinks box. It was really a gift for my colleagues.

Ik ben op en top tevreden met Food & Wood, fantastische ervaring. Pamela heeft een prachtige grazing table voor onze intieme bruiloftsreceptie neergezet. De gasten waren erg onder de indruk. Ze durfde het eten bijna niet aan te raken, zo’n plaatje was het. Het eten was niet alleen mooi gepresenteerd, maar was ook heerlijk. Iedereen kwam al naar me toelopen voor Pamela’s info.Al met al, zeer tevreden dus!

Snelle reacties en ze denken goed mee over de mogelijkheden.Kan dit zeker voor iedereen aanraden.

Valentine's Day is a day of love and affection. For the beer lover who wants to surprise his or her partner in a unique way, choosing the right gift can be a challenge. After all, you want to give something that not only warms the heart, but also tickles the taste buds. In this blog post, we present the ideal Valentine's box for beer lovers from Food and Wood. We inform you about the different options and show you why this box is the perfect choice to enjoy together during a romantic Valentine's Day. Be inspired and discover how you can make this special day unforgettable.

Why choose a Valentine's box?

A Valentine’s box is more than just a gift; it’s an experience that celebrates love and friendship. Giving a Valentine’s box filled with carefully selected beers offers unique benefits that a standard gift can’t match. Here, we discuss why a Valentine’s box is an excellent choice to celebrate this special day.

A unique experience

The first and foremost reason to choose a Valentine's box is the unique experience it offers. Instead of the usual flowers or chocolate, you can enjoy a diverse selection of craft beers together.

  • Tasting at home: A Valentine's box allows couples to sample different beers from the comfort of their own home. Think a mix of local favorites and international specialties. For example, the Brewery Het Anker offers a delicious 'Gouden Carolus' beer that is perfect for a romantic evening.
  • Variety and discovery: You can discover new flavors in an informal setting, such as the fruity La Chouffe or the darker one Castle Brown. This makes it not only a gift, but also an activity that you can do together.

Enjoy together

A Valentine's box stimulates connection. By tasting and discussing the flavors and aromas of the different beers together, couples can strengthen their mutual bond.

  • Dialogue and cooperation: During the tasting, you can ask each other questions, such as: “What do you think of the hoppy flavor of this IPA?” This not only promotes open communication, but also makes it more fun and interactive.
  • Creative presentations: The way you present the beers can also be creative. Think about organizing a mini tasting with different glasses and snacks, such as artisanal cheeses from The Cheese Room that fit perfectly with a fresh Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier.

Personal touch

Selecting beers for a Valentine's box can be very personal. It shows that you have put time and effort into creating a special gift.

  • Personalized selection: You can choose beers that suit your partner's taste preferences. If she likes citrusy beers, a Oedipus Brewery 'Thai' Blonde beer is an excellent choice.
  • Add extras: Consider adding a handwritten card with a personal message or a few tasty snacks to complement the selection. These extra steps will greatly increase the value of your gift.

Examples of popular Valentine's Day boxes

Here are some examples of specific Valentine's Day boxes available:

Tips for Choosing the Right Beer

When choosing the right beer, there are several factors to consider. From taste and preference to the occasion, the right beer can make all the difference. Below, we’ll give you some practical tips on how to select the best beer.

Understand the Different Beer Styles

Beer comes in many different styles, each with its own unique flavor profiles. Here are some common beer styles:

  • Bearings: Light and refreshing, perfect for a hot summer day. Think brand like Heineken or Amstel.
  • Ales: Most ales are spicier and fuller in flavour. An example of this is the popular La Chouffe.
  • IPAs (India Pale Ales): Known for their hoppy flavours, ideal for the adventurous beer drinker. Brands such as Brewery de Molen with them Heaven and Hell are recommended.
  • Wheat beer: A light, often cloudy beer style often served with lemon. A classic in this is Howgarden.
  • Stouts: Dark and rich, perfect for cold evenings. Try a Guinness or Westmalle Double.

Evaluation of Personal Preferences

When selecting beer, it is crucial to consider what the recipient likes. Here are some questions to ask yourself:

  • Do I like sweet or bitter?
  • Do I prefer a light or a heavy flavour?
  • Am I looking for something refreshing or something warm?

Based on these questions you can narrow down the choice of beer. For example, if someone likes sweet and fruity, a fruity Radler like the Hoegaarden Radler an excellent choice.

The Opportunity

The occasion also plays an important role in choosing the right beer. Here are some suggestions based on different occasions:

  • Barbecues: Opt for lighter beers such as a Kronenbourg 1664 or a refreshing Desperados with tequila infusion.
  • Parties: A wide range of beers are appropriate here. Think a mix of ales and IPAs such as Jopen Beautiful Nel and Stone IPA.
  • Dinner: Choose a more complex beer that goes well with the food. A Chimay Blue for example, goes well with rich dishes, while a La Trappe Double goes delicious with desserts.

Try and Rate

Sometimes the best way to choose the right beer is to simply taste it. A beer tasting can be a great option. Here are some tips for a successful tasting:

  • Select different beer styles: Make sure you have a mix of lagers, ales, and craft beers.
  • Work with small quantities: This makes it easier to try more different beers without drinking too much.
  • Keep notes on: Write down what you like and what you don't like.

The perfect setting for a Valentine's Day beer tasting

A Valentine’s Day beer tasting can be a special and intimate way to spend time together. Creating a romantic atmosphere will make this experience unforgettable. Below, we share some ideas on how to build this setting with decorations, music, and organization.

Decoration for a Romantic Atmosphere

The right decoration can transform the entire ambiance of your beer tasting. Consider the following elements:

  • Relief: Use soft, warm lighting. Candles can create an intimate atmosphere. Consider scented candles such as the Yankee Candle Vanilla Cupcake to add a cozy scent.
  • Flowers: A small bouquet of flowers can brighten up the table. Choose roses, as they symbolize love. Consider the Euroflorist Flower Mix with seasonal flowers for an extra touch.
  • Table decoration: Use an attractive tablecloth, for example a linen tablecloth in cream, and add some personal touches, like photos of the two of you together or souvenirs from previous outings.
  • Beer glasses: Serve the beer in stylish glasses. Think of the Spiegelau Craft Beer Set which is specially designed for different types of beer. This not only adds style but also emphasizes the taste.

Music selection for the Tasting

Music can really elevate your tasting experience. Here are a few suggestions:

  • Playlist: Make a playlist of romantic music. Think of songs like:
    • “Perfect” by Ed Sheeran
    • “All of Me” by John Legend
    • “Can't Help Falling in Love” by Elvis Presley
  • Streaming services: Use platforms like Spotify to find ready-made playlists, such as “Romantic Evening” or “Loving Sounds”.

Organization of the Tasting

Good organization is essential for a successful tasting. Here are some steps to follow:

  1. Choose the Beer Selection: Take advantage of a Valentine's box with carefully selected beers. Some popular brands are:
    • Jopen Koyt – A traditional blond ale with hints of spices.
    • Brewery Westmalle Tripel – A strong Trappist beer with complex flavours.
    • Brewery De Molen – For example, choose the Bombs & Grenades, a powerful stout.
  2. Tasting Structure:
    • Start with light beers and work your way up to heavier varieties.
    • Discuss the flavors, aromas and experiences with each sip together.
  3. Tasting Notes: Get a pen and paper or a nice notepad so you can keep track of which beers you like best. This can even be a fun activity to do together.
  4. Side Dishes and Snacks: Add treats that go well with the beers. This can range from:
    • Cheese board with Old Amsterdam and Brie de Meaux
    • Mixed nuts such as Walnuts and Almonds
    • Dark chocolate, such as Tony's Chocolonely 70% Pure as a sweet ending.

Practical tips

  • Schedule time: Reserve enough time for the tasting. An hour and a half to two hours gives you the opportunity to enjoy each flavour and talk quietly.
  • Dress code: Dress nicely, but comfortably. This can further enhance the atmosphere.
  • Take enough breaks: Provide moments of rest between beers by playing a little game or enjoying the eye-catching decoration.

With these tips you can make your beer tasting on Valentine's Day a romantic and memorable experience. Enjoy each other, the beers and the atmosphere!

The Perfect Beer Experience for a Romantic Evening

In conclusion, choosing the perfect gift for beer lovers on Valentine’s Day is not easy, but it is essential to invest in a personal and unique experience. The options discussed all have their charm, but we strongly recommend that you consider the Valentine’s Beer Box from Food and Wood. This gift not only offers an excellent selection of craft beers, but also a beautiful presentation that emphasizes your appreciation for the recipient. Make this Valentine’s Day unforgettable by choosing a gift that has been put together with care and attention.
