Why Beer Subscriptions Are a Great Gift Idea

Consider a beer subscription if you are a beer enthusiast or want to give an exciting and unique gift. These boxes bring new and exciting brews straight to your door.

Some offer seasonal brews like pumpkin-inspired beers for Halloween and strong Christmas ales. Many also support local communities and charities.

Beer Drop

Beer Drop is a great option if you want a beer subscription that will customize your deliveries according to your tastes. Their team of beer experts tracks your buying trends to deliver only the beers you want. Plus, each shipment includes a mystery beer to introduce you to styles and flavors you might not have tried before.

Beer Drop has a variety of subscriptions to suit your tastes and budget. The basic plan is the cheapest and includes five beers from various breweries, two cans of each type. If you’d like a little bit more flexibility in your selection, then try the Beer Drop Plus.

The Beer Drop Team is dedicated to promoting beer education and supporting independent breweries. The Beer Drop team offers a flexible subscription that allows you cancel at any time, without any fees. You can also earn rewards for your purchases by referring friends, following Beer Drop on social media, or reviewing products.

Beer Club of the Month

There are many different beer subscriptions, but you can choose the ones you want. Some are focused on specific beer types, while others are general and can be a good way to discover new brews.

The Duration Beer Club, for example, sends 12 cans of its core beers each month. Each can features artwork by a local artist. It’s an excellent way to improve your ale-drinking abilities. Plus, they give back to the community by donating to a non-profit each month.

City Brew Tours Beer Club can be a great option for beer enthusiasts. They take you to a virtual roadtrip by highlighting brews from different cities and offering virtual tastings. If you don’t want to commit to a long term commitment, there are plenty of other beer subscriptions that make it easy to cancel or modify your order.

Rare Beer Club

These clubs are great for collectors or connoisseurs of limited-release, rare beer. You’ll be able to refine your palate and educate yourself while avoiding styles that you don’t appreciate. Plus, you can save yourself the time and expense of searching for these bottles on your own.

Each month, you’ll receive two 750ml bottles (similar to wine bottles), each from a different brewery. The beers are selected by a team of beer experts and often include brewery exclusives that you can’t find anywhere else.

Unlike other subscriptions you can customize the membership by choosing a number of bottles each month or selecting a particular brew. You can cancel or pause the subscription at any time. The company behind this club has stellar customer service, and they get a lot of positive feedback from their subscribers. They’re also very good at keeping the prices of their boxes low. They even give a portion of their proceeds to local charities (e.g., SapnaNYC, which helps low-income South Asian immigrant women).

Craft Beer Club

These clubs are a great way for beer lovers to try new beers and have fun without having to visit a brewery. They also help support local businesses and charities. One club in NYC, for example, sells a beer with a mango-lassi flavor to benefit the non-profit SapnaNYC which helps low-income South Asian Women.

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 also offer a flexible, no-commitment membership with monthly, bi-monthly, quarterly, or annual shipments. Most allow you to cancel or pause delivery and most ship for free within the US.

The best beer subscriptions let you sample a wide range of styles, from traditional ales to hoppy and sours to lagers and dark beers. They also come with tasting notes, brewery information, and recommendations for food pairings. Although they can be pricey, it is worth it if want to try out more styles of beer.
