American Craft Beer The Best Craft Beer, Breweries, Bars, Brewpubs, Beer Stores, And Restaurants Serving Serious Beer.
With Black Friday now in the rearview mirror, the winter holiday gift-buying season is officially ON. And what better gift for that beer lover in your life than a specially curated beer selection shipped to his or her door?
And this company actually offers five different beer clubs that you can mix and match into a single membership.
The US Microbrewed Beer Club
A family-owned business for over 21 years, The Microbrewed Beer of the Month Club™ was founded and continues to be run on principles dedicated to consistently delivering quality, variety, and value through our structured craft beer selection process.
And they’ve a serious beer selection process that ensures that the beers that they ship are, at the very least, interesting.
Each month, the company’s team of experts taste over 500 brews in consideration for that month’s shipment, and only 20% of the beers make the cut. As founder Kris Calef likes to point out…”we drink a lot of bad beer… so you don’t have to.”
The Rare Beer Club
The Rare Beer Club is an even more upscale division of The Microbrewed Beer of the Month Club. Designed for the uber-beer geek, this club offers two beers a month in big format750ml bottles that are truly rare and hard-to-get.
Last month, the Rare Beer Club offered an oak-aged Imperial Brown Ale from Vista, California’s The Lost Abby and an Imperial Milk Stout w/Chocolate & Vanilla from St. Louis-based Perennial Artisan Ales. Both of these beers were exclusively crafted for the club, they’re only available to members. These beers will never see retail.
And you can change things up bigtime!
Prior to a beer shipment, members receive an email detailing what’s coming so they can customize the shipment with the beers they’re more interested in. Members can add more bottles of either or both upcoming beers, replace upcoming beers with past favorites, or even skip the entire shipment altogether.
It’s part of something they call the Personalized Shipment Program™ which unlike other programs affords its members complete control over what they receive every month.
This club is genius and we’re absolutely HUGE fans!
The Hop-Heads Beer Club
While we’re still big fans of The Rare Beer Club, the company’s Hop-Head’s Beer Club offers smart mix of IPAs that that you just don’t find in most beer clubs.
Every month club members will receive twelve, 12oz. hop-forward beers each from both American craft breweries and International brewers. Each shipment will include a variety of hoppy beer styles, including IPAs, Double IPAs, Session IPAs, IPLs, Imperial IPLs, Session IPLs, hoppy Pale and Red Ales, along with a monthly newsletter complete with tasting notes, beer profiles, brewery histories, and even suggested food pairings.
The US and International Variety Beer Club
For those who want to sample craft beers from all around the world there’s the US and International membership.
Each shipment includes:
- Three or more different lightly distributed US and international craft brewery offerings
- Four different beer styles
- Twelve, 12-oz craft beers
- Brewery profiles and tasting notes
The International Beer Club
But if you’re more interested in craft beers brewed abroad, the International Beer Club is a smart option.
Each shipment includes:
- Two different beer styles from lightly distributed international craft breweries
- Twelve, 12-oz craft beers
- Brewery profiles and tasting notes

And again these clubs are interchangeable, you can move from to another throughout the year, which is a really good deal.
