In The Rare Beer Club®: Bottles only.

In our 12-oz clubs: Both bottles and cans.

There’s currently a canning revolution underway and including breweries that package in cans in our club selections is unquestionably a good thing and the right thing to do. Within the last couple of years, scores of craft brewers around the country and the world have embraced cans, and in fact, many brewers are not bottling their beers anymore at all. It wasn’t always this way, but at this time and moving forward, not including breweries that only package in cans would ultimately limit us from featuring some of the world’s top rated breweries and beers.

Why is it a good thing?: Beyond expanding the number of breweries and beers we can bring to you, all modern beer cans have a lining which completely protects the beer from picking up metallic flavors. Cans offer numerous advantages over bottles: they protect beer from light (which can damage beer’s aroma & flavor); are virtually airtight, keeping beer fresher for longer; weigh less and are easier to ship; are outdoor-activity friendly; are infinitely recyclable; and even cool down faster.

Our 12-oz club members can expect to receive traditional bottles about 75% of the time, with cans making up the remainder – around 3 shipments per year.

We ship our Beer clubs to all states except Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Utah, and some zip codes in Kentucky. Please note that there are a few other states for which we are unable to deliver Beer to certain (usually rural) zip codes. During checkout, our website will check your shipping address and alert you if it is in one of these zip codes.

We ship our Wine clubs to all states except Alabama, Alaska, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, and Utah.

Cheese, Chocolate, and Flower clubs are available to all states except Alaska and Hawaii.

Our Cigar clubs are available in all U.S. states except Utah. We can also ship to APO addresses. Unfortunately, we cannot ship cigars, nor any other products, outside of the U.S. at this time.

Shipments should arrive the 3rd or 4th week of the month via a carrier in your region*. In December, if you order before December 10th we will do our best to have your gift arrive before Christmas. No guarantees in the case of weather delays or carrier issues.

*NOTE: Due to unique challenges required to deliver beer and wine in certain regions, occasionally the first shipment of a membership can take an additional 1-2 weeks to arrive depending on when your order was placed. Please call our Customer Service Department at 800-625-8238 for an estimated time of arrival for your delivery area.

Yes. Someone over 21 years of age will need to sign for your beer shipment. An ID may be required by the carrier. Our discrete packaging allows many of our members to ship to a work location or a neighbor who is often home.

Please either call us at 800-625-8238 or email us at [email protected] no later than the 1st of the month to inform us if you have moved, plan to be out of town, or otherwise will not be able to accept delivery that month so that we can either re-route or reschedule your shipment. We use common carriers to deliver all of our products. If you are not home to sign for your shipment, the carrier will leave a door tag letting you know a delivery attempt has been made. After three attempts the product will be sent back to the distribution center at which time we can re-ship your package for an additional shipping cost of $15.

Please either call us at 800-625-8238 or email us at [email protected] no later than the 1st of the month to change your delivery address. Or, if you create an account on our website, you'll be able to go to the My Orders section to update the delivery address yourself for any current orders.
