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 new and exciting brews right to the door, no road trip required.

Some breweries offer seasonal brews such as pumpkin-inspired beer around Halloween or traditional 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. Each shipment includes a mysterious beer to introduce new styles and flavors.

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 prefer a bit more flexibility, try their Beer Drop Plus category.

The Beer Drop team is dedicated to supporting independent breweries and promoting beer education. 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 different beer subscriptions, but you can choose the ones you want. 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 12 cans of its core beers each month. 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. There are many beer subscriptions where you can cancel or modify your order without committing to a long-term commitment.

Rare Beer Club

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 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 also cancel or pause your subscription whenever you want. 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 provide a fun and convenient way to sample new beers without having to go to a brewery or even leave your home. 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 companies make it easy to pause or cancel your delivery. They also ship 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.
