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 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 also support local charities and communities.

Beer Drop offers a range of different subscriptions to fit your tastes and budget. The basic subscription plan is the most affordable and comes with five beers from different breweries (two cans of each style).

Beer Club of the Month

There are many different beer subscriptions, but you can choose the ones you want. 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 12 cans of its core beers each month. It’s a great way to expand your ale-drinking skills, and each can also features art from a local artist. Plus, they donate to a non profit each month.

City Brew Tours Beer Club can be a great option for beer enthusiasts. They take you to a virtual roadtrip by highlighting brews from different cities and offering virtual tastings. If you don’t want to commit to a long term commitment, there are plenty of other beer subscriptions that make it easy to cancel or modify your order.

Rare Beer Club

These clubs are ideal for beer connoisseurs and collectors of rare, limited-release beers. 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.

Each month, you’ll receive two 750ml bottles (similar to wine bottles), each from a different brewery. The beers are chosen by a team that includes beer experts, and include brewery exclusives you won’t find anywhere.

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 or pause your subscription whenever you want. The company behind this club has stellar customer service, and they get a lot of positive feedback from their 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

These clubs are a great way for beer lovers to try new beers and have fun without having to visit a brewery. They also support local charities and businesses. 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 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.

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