Craft Beer Lover? Join the Club

I’ve looked into joining a beer of the month club before, but never took the leap. The main reasons I never bought into the whole thing are: Commitment and cost. You either had to join for a minimum of 6 months, or they’d charge you some obscene amount on top of nailing you in the back end for shipping costs. I love craft beer, but no thanks.

So that’s why I could barely contain my excitement last week when I heard about The Original Craft Beer Club through one of my brewing connections on LinkedIn.

Here’s the deal: Four hand-selected craft beer styles in triplicate (that’s 12 beers for you mathematically challenged) delivered to your door every month. With no long-term commitment. And free shipping. Yeah, I know, too good to be true. Wake up and smell the malt, friends. It’s true. For about $3 a beer – a helluva lot cheaper than the bars – you get to sample some of the best craft beers in the country. Some of which you probably couldn’t get otherwise. And did I mention free shipping?

The Original Craft Beer Club offers both a 12- and 24-bottle option, and you can choose to have them shipped monthly, every other month or every three months. Oh yeah, and if you order now you get three free gifts with your first shipment: a free bottle opener, a selection of nuts to snack on, and a set of four tasting glasses.

The Original Craft Beer Club is also the perfect beer club for the commitment-phobics out there, since you can cancel at any time with no risk. They also offer a gift plan option so you can give the beer-lover on your list up to 12 months of brewed bliss ($25 discount for the 12-month gift plan).

I placed my order last week for the 12-bottle package and I plan to write a follow-up review once it comes in. In the meantime, it sounds like they’ve got a winner here. Craft beer delivered right to my house at a reasonable price? Let’s see if it lives up to the hype. To be continued…
12-bottles per month $37.75
