BEER! Craft beer clubs, subscriptions and sign up offers...

[luckyj142]

I love beer. I love real ale, kask and keg, and craft beer - anything that tickles the taste buds a bit more than bog standard lager.

I have noticed that there are heaps of beer subscription companies cropping up all over the place and every single one seems to have a good value introductory offer where you can just sign up to the intro and cancel your subscription immediately afterwards if you'd like.

These offers tend to work out marginally better than the shop prices and seem to be a good way to get a varied selection of beers, some of which are hard to come by.

I'm tempted to just work through all of them and build myself up a wild an exotic beer cellar based on these offers that should make for some interesting drinking over the next few months.

I wondered if anyone had had any experience with these companies? Are there any pitfalls I need to look out for when signing up for these offers? What sign up deals have you seen?

Companies I plan to do intro offers with are Honest Brew, Beer 52 and Flavourly but I am on the look out for more...

Looking forward to hearing about other people's experiences.

I DID NOT KNOW these things existed!

They are perfect for my dad who absolutely LOVES real ale / craft beer!

I suppose it is a logical next step as I think [member=920]katykicker[/member] and [member=277]Chammy[/member] both get subscription food boxes from memory

I follow a cider one on Twitter in the hopes they'll want to send me one to review haha

I've tried a variety of subscription boxes over my blogging life - I've just had a cat and dog one come through yesterday.

Give them a whirl, see what you think.

Most sign up offers are worth it and many offer a referral service so you can earn free boxes. Sometimes a box isn't so great but other times they are certainly worth what you've paid. The only way to find out is to try.

I've signed up for a couple of intro offers and chatting to a couple of mates today I found another company called 'Beer Hawk' who offer a really good intro offer too.

I'm gonna get me that beer cellar!

Enjoy the beers those of you who have just discovered that these subscription companies exist
