Simply put, The Rare Beer Club’s mission is to deliver the best, most inventive, and most hard-to-come-by beers out there. Founded by the late beer critic Michael Jackson, the world's leading authority on beer, The Rare Beer Club offers limited-release craft beers from both the U.S. and around the world.
In fact, many of our featured beers are created exclusively for the club and can’t be found anywhere else, such as Jolly Pumpkin’s L’épouvantail Noir (Oak-Aged Saison with Pumpkin & Blackberries), American Solera’s The Ground Is Shaking! (Flemish-Inspired Sour Brown Ale aged in Vin Santo Wine Casks), Upright Brewing’s August IPA (IPA/Saison Hybrid with Wild Yeast), Alesong’s Raspberry Gose (German-Style Gose with Sea Salt, Coriander & Raspberries), and many, many more!
Each monthly shipment also includes our Rare Beer Club newsletter, providing each brewery’s history, profiles of the brewers, detailed tasting notes, food pairing and beer aging recommendations, and beer specs including style, special ingredients, ABV, recommended serving temperature, and more.
Additionally, all Rare Beer Club members can re-order their favorite beers while supplies last!
Our Personalized Shipment Program™ ensures that as a personal member of The Rare Beer Club you’ll receive only the beers you want to get. (Also available to gift recipients upon request.) Each month prior to receiving your shipment, you will be sent an email detailing the two upcoming beer selections and giving you the ability to customize what you will receive. You can:
Sometimes we come across incredible beers that we’d like to feature, but the amounts available are just too small. In addition to our normal monthly selections, Rare Beer Club members can also take advantage of our periodic special offers on these additional exciting and hard-to-find beers.
Our Beer Selection Process is the key to consistently delivering quality craft beers and what sets us apart from the rest. Here’s how we do it.
Our experience ranges from judging at the Great American Beer Festival to heading brewing operations at BJ’s Brewhouse, a 100+ location brewpub chain. We’re knowledgeable and passionate about beer and we’ve got your back.
We rate over 500 beers each year on appearance, aromatic profile, body and balance, mouthfeel, finish, and of course, its overall character, flavor and appeal. Less than 20% of all beers we rate make the final cut.
Our panel keeps busy attending, judging and submitting beers at prestigious festivals, creating collaborative beers with other microbreweries, meeting with brewers and importers, and most importantly, trying new beers.
Our 30+ year relationships with breweries and importers is critical to discovering outstanding new beers while they’re still hard to find. We help them launch new products and you get to try them first. Many beers are brewed exclusively for our club members and not available outside the club.
We pay special attention to seasonal beers such as Dopplebocks, Bavarian Hefeweizens, Oktoberfests, and Spiced Winter Ales made in small production batches and brewed only once a year.
…getting a new shipment delivered every month is like Christmas morning 12 times a year.
