Do you have one of those hamburger-crazy friends who is very hard to shop for, this side of wrapping a pound of ground sirloin with a ribbon?

Coming from what might be the best press release ever to include how hamburgers and beer can be gifted over a calendar year, Gothamist learned that you can get a friend a special hamburger-plus-beer pairing per month over 12 months for $100, or do a half-year of burgers and beer for $50 (a one-off beef'n'beer fest is $10). Here are some of the pairings:
