Why Beer Subscriptions Are a Great Gift Idea

If you’re a beer lover, or you want to give a gift that is unique and exciting, consider a beer subscription. These boxes deliver exciting and new brews to your door. No need to drive anywhere.

Some offer seasonal brews like pumpkin-inspired beers for Halloween and 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 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 offers different subscriptions that can be tailored to your budget and tastes. The basic plan is the cheapest and includes five beers from various breweries, two cans of each type. 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. They also offer a flexible subscription model, which allows you to cancel anytime without any fees or charges. 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 beer subscriptions available, but the best ones let you choose which brews to receive. Some subscriptions focus on specific beer types while others are general. They can be a great way for you 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 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 a virtual road trip by highlighting cities’ brew options and offering virtual tastings of the selections. 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

If you’re a connoisseur or collector of limited-release rare beer, these clubs are perfect for you. 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.

You’ll get two 750 ml bottles of beer (similar to wine bottles) each month from two different breweries. The beers are selected by a team of beer experts and often include brewery exclusives that you can’t 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. You can cancel or pause the subscription at any time. The company behind the club offers excellent customer service and receives a lot positive feedback from its subscribers. They also keep their prices low. They donate a part of their profits to local charities.

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 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 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. These can be expensive but are worth it to discover more styles of ale.
