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 deliver exciting and new brews to your door. No need to drive anywhere.

Some offer seasonal brews, such as pumpkin-inspired beers around Halloween and traditional strong Christmas ale. Many support local charities and community groups.

You can earn rewards on your purchases by referring a friend, following Beer Drop socially, or reviewing the products.

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. 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 give back to the community by donating to a non-profit each month.

City Brew Tours Beer Club offers another great option to beer lovers. They take you on an imaginary road trip, highlighting the brew options of cities and offering virtual samplings. If you do not want to commit for a long time, there are other beer subscriptions which allow you to cancel or change your order.

Rare Beer Club

These clubs are great for collectors or connoisseurs of limited-release, rare beer. You can refine your palate, learn about different styles and avoid those you don’t like. 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 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 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. These clubs also support local businesses and charities. One club in NYC sells beer with mango-lassi flavors to benefit SapnaNYC, a non-profit that helps South Asian women who are low-income.

A few of these beer subscriptions offer additional gifts like a year subscription to a craft-centric magazine, a heavy-duty bottle 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 allow you to cancel or pause delivery and most ship for 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. They also come with tasting notes, brewery information, and recommendations for food pairings. They can be expensive, but they are worth it if you want to explore more styles of beer.
