MonthlyClubs

I took a chance on the stout in this month's box, having never bought a stout before in my life. I'm not sure I'd have picked it from a shop shelf, but it's grown on me and the picks have been decent. The only thing is the delivery window was a bit wider than I'd like.

My husband retired last spring and started getting into craft beer, so I wanted something he would look forward to each month. I signed him up for a year and he has not stopped talking about the mystery picks since. Really glad I went with them for the gift.

Signed up on my phone during a lunch break and it took about two minutes, no faff. The box arrived when they said and the beers are good, I've already had two of the picks. Would definitely do it again.

I would say this is a very good service and I have been a subscriber for some time now. The selection each month is well chosen and the beers are generally what the notes describe. My only small reservation is that the delivery window is a little wide, so one has to be home for a day or two. Otherwise I am quite content with it.

Compared to buying the same bottles at the cash and carry, this is cheaper once you count the time saved, and the delivery is free. Sign up was painless. Happy with it so far.

Needed a gift quickly for a housewarming and this was the easiest option I could find on my phone at lunch. The box arrived the day before the party as promised. One bottle was a bit warm on arrival but nothing a few minutes in the fridge didn't fix.

I had looked at a few different beer clubs before settling on this, and what I bought was the sour beer box, which was not a style I had tried before. Compared with the others the range felt more adventurous and the notes were useful. The box came well packed with ice packs and everything arrived in good order.

I have been getting the monthly beer box for about three years now and the picks have been consistently good. This month's selection of IPAs and a stout from a small brewery in Yorkshire went down a treat with my husband.

Compared to the bottle shop round the corner this is miles better, because the beers are ones I would never have picked up myself. Signed up on my phone in the queue for the bus and it was done in a few taps. Box turned up on schedule.

I signed up for the box a good while back and have kept my subscription going since. This month's sour ale was the one I had been hoping for, and it came packed well with no breakages.

This was my first time with a beer club and the verdict is that it was a lot of fun. Sign up was quick, the box came well packed and the bottles were all in great shape. I'll be keeping it going for another month or two.

Way better than the offy near mine, the beers in the box are stuff I'd never have grabbed myself. Got a free delivery and the sign up was dead easy. Loved it, the stout was lush.

What I noticed first was that this month's box turned up three days after the date on the site, which was annoying as I had planned a dinner around it. I emailed them and the reply took most of a week. The beers themselves were decent, but I did compare with a couple of other clubs and this one is at the pricier end for what you get.

We were heading to a friend's cottage for the weekend and I wanted something decent to bring along without buying a load of bottles from the shop. I've been a member for a while now and usually the box is great. This time one of the bottles arrived with a dent in the label but the beer itself was fine, so it's a small thing.

Compared to the other two clubs I looked at, this one had the clearest choice of what to pick and the monthly box felt like better value. Signed up in one go and the first box came quickly. The beers have been a good mix so far.

The beers are generally good and I enjoyed most of the monthly picks, but I did compare it with a couple of other clubs first and this one came out at the higher end on price. The box itself is well put together. The delivery was a day later than the date they gave me, which was a bit annoying but not a deal breaker.

Worked out a lot cheaper than buying the same beers one at a time from the online shops, especially once you factor in the postage I would have paid elsewhere. Clear what you get each month and you can skip a month if you need to. The box is well packed and nothing has ever broken in transit.
