There are a lot of beer subscriptions to choose from, but the best ones allow you to decide which brews you want to get. Some beer subscriptions are aimed at specific types of beer, while others are more general and are a great way to discover new brews.

The City Brew Tours Beer Club is another great option for beer lovers. They take you on a virtual road trip by highlighting cities’ brew options and offering virtual tastings of the selections.

Unlike other subscriptions, you can customize your membership by choosing the number of bottles or selecting a specific brew each month.

Some of these subscriptions come with additional gifts such as a subscription to a magazine devoted to craft beer, a heavy-duty opener and custom koozies. They offer a flexible membership that is free of commitment. You can choose to receive shipments monthly, bi-monthly or quarterly. Most make it easy to cancel or pause your delivery, and most ship free within the US.
