I’ve been invited to a dinner at a friend’s house. Normally, I would bring a bottle of approriate wine for such a dinner; but the friend and his partner don’t drink wine. A 12-pack of Bud Light (which they do drink) seems a bit gauche.
So do the urbane and worldly Dopers have any suggestions?
I would offer to bring dessert.
Some fine coffee for drinking after dinner?
Dude.
Your username is HOMEBREW.
They drink beer.
Do the math.
Dessert. Dessert beer. Maybe a good after-dinner tipple, if they like single-malts.
They drink Bud Light. They don’t drink Real BEER.
I am highly offended by this comment. 
I am from STL and love my Bud Light.
Homebrew is a 311 song, no?
And unless this is some fancy smanchy thing, I’d bring some beer. It’s what they like, so hey, whatever.
Other possibilities, box of chocolates, flowers, cigars.
Nighttrain.
Wild Rose.
Dessert sounds like a winner, though the flowers is a close second.
Homebrew may or may not be a 311 song. But my moniker comes from my hobby of making beer. At home. Hence, homebrew.
I often bring a decent bottle of olive oil. Even if they never use it, it adds some class to the kitchen.
People, people. the answer is simple.
Marble Rye.
The idea is to bring something that adds to the ambience of their home and/or makes the evening more enjoyable, so we’re in the same realm as housewarming gifts.
Usual stuff:
Flowers
Pudding (what Americans call dessert)
Chocolates
Coffee
Whisky
Unusual stuff:
Nice organic, freshly squeezed fruit juice (I sometimes bring to teetotal friends)
A board game to play after dinner
A posh (Joe Malone, L’Occitane, Diptyque) scented candle
A pot plant
:dubious: Will you also come to my dinner party?
I agree with the flowers.
Flowers…with “buds.”
Warm smell of colitis,
rising up through the air…
If’n they like beer and you want to do something nice, bring some specialty brews like Chimay or the like.
Can’t go wrong with cheesecake and Bailey’s.
They drink Bud Light, so your premise is flawed from the start.
No, no, no. Chocolate Babka!
Lovvvve that Babka.
I meant a pot plant, as in a nice Hibiscus or Poinsettia, or if you really doubt their green fingers, a cactus.
I suppose the other kind of pot plant would work too if you knew your hosts well enough…
