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 offer seasonal brews like pumpkin-inspired beers for Halloween and strong Christmas ales. Many support local charities and community groups.

Beer Drop

If you’re looking for a beer subscription service that customizes your deliveries to your taste preferences, Beer Drop is the best choice. Their team of experts monitors your purchasing trends to ensure that only the beers you prefer are delivered. 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 subscription plan, which is the most affordable, comes with five different beers (two cans each of each style) from different breweries. If you want a little more flexibility, choose the Beer Drop Plus category.

The Beer Drop Team is dedicated to promoting beer education and supporting independent breweries. They also offer a flexible subscription model, which allows you to cancel anytime without any fees or charges. You can also earn rewards by referring friends to Beer Drop, following them on social media or reviewing their products.

Beer Club of the Month

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. 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.

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. 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. 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 selected by the team of beer experts often include brewery-exclusives that you cannot find anywhere else.

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 the club offers excellent customer service and receives a lot positive feedback from its subscribers. They also keep their prices 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

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.

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 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. They can be expensive, but they are worth it if you want to explore more styles of beer.
