What Exactly Is Inside a Craft Beer Subscription? (A Look at the Nearest Beer Club)
Let’s be honest: the phrase “mystery box” can sometimes make craft beer drinkers a little nervous. We have all heard stories of people signing up for a monthly beer subscription, only to receive a box filled with out-of-date stock, repetitive styles, or beers the retailer simply couldn’t sell.
At Nearest Beer Shop, we believe a beer subscription should be the exact opposite. It should be a monthly treat, a chance to discover your new favourite brewery, and a completely hassle-free way to keep your fridge stocked with the good stuff.
Here is exactly how we run the Nearest Beer Club, and why it is the perfect choice for anyone looking to expand their palate.
Hand-Picked, Not Shelf-Cleared
We currently have over 200 different independent beers sitting in our fridges here in Bridgend. When it comes time to pack our monthly subscription boxes, we do not just grab whatever is closest.
Every single box is hand-chosen by our team. We curate a line-up of 8 exceptional beers that reflect the best of what the UK and international craft scenes have to offer right now. You might find a ridiculously juicy new DIPA from Azvex, a crisp craft lager for the weekend, and perhaps a wild card like a vibrant Vault City dessert sour to push your boundaries.
The goal is discovery. We do the hard work of tasting and selecting, so you can just enjoy the results.
The Cold-Stored Guarantee Applies
Just like every hoppy beer you buy from us individually, the beers in your Nearest Beer Club box are treated with the utmost respect. They are kept strictly cold-stored in our shop right up until the moment they are boxed and handed over for delivery. This means the hop profiles remain bright, the aromas stay punchy, and the beer arrives tasting exactly as the brewer intended.
No Traps, No Tie-Ins
The biggest frustration with subscriptions is how hard they are to leave. We do not believe in tying our customers into long-term contracts.
The Nearest Beer Club is entirely flexible. If you want to try it out for a month and decide it isn’t for you, you can easily cancel the next one. If you are going on holiday and need to skip a delivery, that is no problem either. You are always in complete control.
The Perfect Gift for a Beer Lover
If you are struggling to buy a present for someone who already knows their hazy pales from their imperial stouts, a flexible subscription is the ultimate gift. It saves you the stress of trying to guess which individual cans they haven’t tried yet, and gives them a monthly delivery to look forward to.
