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.

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

You will receive two 750ml beer bottles (similar in size to wine bottles) from two different breweries each month. 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 your membership by choosing the number of bottles or selecting a specific brew each month.

Craft Beer Club

For beer lovers, these clubs offer a convenient and fun way to sample new brews without having to leave home or visit a brewery. 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 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.
