Why Beer Subscriptions Are a Great Gift Idea

There are many beer subscriptions available, but the best ones let you choose which brews to receive. 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. It’s also a great way for you to learn more about ale drinking. Each can is decorated with artwork from a local artists. Plus, they donate to a non profit each month.

The City Brew Tours Beer Club is another great option for beer lovers. They take you on an imaginary road trip, highlighting the brew options of cities and offering virtual samplings.

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. You can also save time and money by not having to search for these bottles yourself.

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

You can customize your membership unlike other subscriptions by selecting the number of bottles you want or a specific beer each month.

For beer lovers, these clubs offer a convenient and fun way to sample new brews without having to leave home or visit a brewery. They also support local charities and businesses. 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 offer a flexible membership that is free of commitment. You can choose to receive shipments monthly, bi-monthly or quarterly. Most companies make it easy to pause or cancel your delivery. They also ship free within the US.
