Friendgiving & Monte Carlo Beer: Celebrate Friendship Around a Glass
Nov 28, 2025
As autumn deepens and the air cools, a special energy settles in : the ambiance of gatherings, cozy meals, and shared moments. It’s in this spirit that Friendgiving has emerged: a celebration of chosen family and cherished friendships.
For Monte Carlo Beer, it’s a meaningful opportunity: to share a beer in heartfelt toasts, to bring people together authentically, to celebrate friendship. In this post, we’ll explore what Friendgiving is, why it appeals, and how Monte Carlo Beer reflects its values during this unique occasion.
What is Friendgiving?
“Friendgiving” merges friends and Thanksgiving. It’s an informal gathering, often centered around a shared meal, hosted among friends as an alternative or complement to traditional Thanksgiving.
Key features of Friendgiving:
- Celebrating bonds of choice, not just familial ties
- A relaxed, casual vibe
- Potluck-style menus: everyone brings a dish
- Moments of gratitude, toasts, meaningful exchange
It’s a festival of closeness, inclusion, and conviviality — directly aligned with Monte Carlo Beer’s ethos.
Why Friendgiving resonates with our values
Monte Carlo Beer is more than a beer, it's an invitation to togetherness, elegance shared, moments of joy with friend. Here's how our values harmonize with the spirit of Friendgiving :
- Sharing and generosity : offering a beer, raising a toast
- Authenticity : genuine moments without pretense
- Warmth and conviviality : bringing people together, building memories over a drink
It's a celebration that feels natural to us, where Monte Carlo Beer can become the beverage that knits the evening together.
How to host a successful Friendgiving special with Monte Carlo Beer
Here are ideas to make your Friendgiving special, with an MCB twist.
1. Potluck spirit
Ask each guest to bring a dish to share (appetizer, mains, dessert). It eases the burden of the host and ensure a creative menu reflecting everyone's tastes.
2. Toasts with your friends
Dedicate a moment for everyone to raise their glass : invite guests to share something they appreciate about a friend, a memory. Serve Monte Carlo Beer or your favorite drink in stylish glasses, perfectly chilled.
3. Signature Friendgiving cocktail
Design a custom cocktail using Monte Carlo Beer or the spirit of your choice and make it your event's house drink.
4. Warm ambiance
Soft lighting, autumnal decor (mini pupmkins, leaves...). Create a space that invites relaxed conversation and lingering.
5. Simples games or activities
Friendly quizzes, cards, a collaborative playlist... anything that connects peoples and lightens the mood.
Friendgiving isn’t just a gathering, it’s a tribute to friendship, gratitude, and the joy of the present moment. It’s about laughter around the table, shared stories, and the simple pleasure of being together.
While waiting for Christmas, gather your closest friends, host your Friendgiving, and let Monte Carlo Beer be part of your moments : elegant, genuine, and always shared with heart.
