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 breweries offer seasonal brews such as pumpkin-inspired beer around Halloween or traditional strong Christmas ales. Many also support local communities and charities.

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 specialists tracks your buying habits to deliver only beers that 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 is the most affordable and comes with five beers from different breweries (two cans of each style). If you prefer a bit more flexibility, try their 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 for your purchases by referring friends, following Beer Drop on social media, or reviewing products.

Beer Club of the Month

There are a lot of beer subscriptions to choose from, but the best ones allow you to decide which brews you want to get. Some beer subscriptions are aimed at specific types of beer, while others are more general and are a great 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 a great way to expand your ale-drinking skills, and each can also features art from a local artist. 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. 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 selected by the team of beer experts often include brewery-exclusives that you cannot 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 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. The prices of their boxes are also kept 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. They also help support local businesses and charities. For example, one club in NYC sells a mango-lassi flavored beer that benefits the non-profit SapnaNYC that helps low-income South Asian women.

Some of these subscriptions come with additional gifts such as a subscription to a magazine devoted to craft beer, a heavy-duty 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 let you sample a wide range of styles, from traditional ales to hoppy and sours to lagers and dark 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.
