If you love beer and have the belly to prove it, there's a club waiting to initiate you – a beer of the month club! Sure, heading to the bar with your buddies is fun, but there is a world of specialty beers, microbrews, crafts, and more out of the ordinary beers that your local dive will likely never serve. Imagine receiving a package of crisp beers every month delivered right to your door. No worries about driving home dangerously or those dreaded “beer goggles" for a gal at the bar who seemed attractive at the moment. This time, you'll know it's your wife staring back at ya. Explore the nuances of flavors, colors, and fizziness with a new selection of beers on the regular. With our pick for favorite club, The Microbrewed Beer of the Month Club, you'll be sure to be slugging back something way more sophisticated than that watered-down crap you've been funneling since your frat days.
