Why Beer Subscriptions Are a Great Gift Idea

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

Some breweries offer seasonal brews such as pumpkin-inspired beer around Halloween or traditional strong Christmas ales. Many support local charities and community groups.

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 specialists tracks your buying habits to deliver only beers that you want. Each shipment includes a mysterious beer to introduce new styles and flavors.

Beer Drop offers different subscriptions that can be tailored to your budget and tastes. The basic subscription plan is the most affordable and comes with five beers from different breweries (two cans of each style). If you want a little more flexibility, choose the Beer Drop Plus category.

The Beer Drop team is committed to supporting independent breweries, and promoting beer knowledge. 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 out 12 cans per month of its core beers or collaborations. Each can features artwork by a local artist. It’s an excellent way to improve your ale-drinking abilities. Plus, they donate to a non profit each month.

City Brew Tours Beer Club can be a great option for beer enthusiasts. They take you on a virtual road trip by highlighting cities’ brew options and offering virtual tastings of the selections. 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 ideal for beer connoisseurs and collectors of rare, limited-release beers. 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 chosen by a team that includes beer experts, and include brewery exclusives you won’t find anywhere.

Unlike other subscriptions, you can customize your membership by choosing the number of bottles or selecting a specific brew each month. You can also cancel your subscription or pause it whenever you like. 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 donate a portion of the proceeds to local charities.

Craft Beer Club

For beer lovers, these clubs provide a fun and convenient way to sample new beers without having to go to a brewery or even leave your home. These clubs also 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 beer subscriptions include additional gifts, such as a year’s subscription to a craft magazine, a heavy duty bottle opener, or custom koozies. They also offer a flexible, no-commitment membership with monthly, bi-monthly, quarterly, or annual shipments. Most make it easy to cancel or pause your delivery, and most ship free within the US.

The best beer subscriptions allow you to sample a variety of styles from traditional ales, to hoppy and sour beers, to lagers and darker beers. Also included are tasting notes, brewery details, and food pairing suggestions. They can be expensive, but they are worth it if you want to explore more styles of beer.
