Stay Away. Purchased 2 subscriptions to the Beer Club as gifts. Some of the beers were as expected, but for the price, averaging about $5 a can, most LCBOs will have an equivalent selection. Two big issues were the high proportion of sours we received; about 4 cans of the 12 each month. (and the fact that, at that price of $5 a can, I expected tallboys, not a high proportion of regular sized cans). Sours are not really everyones favourite, and not really wanted in the depths of winter… seems like leftover stock from breweries summer inventory. The biggest issue was the delivery service. BEWARE that they will not leave the parcel on your doorstep like Amazon will- in below freezing weather it will freeze( reasonable). BUT, if someone isnt there to receive it, the parcel will be rerouted to the local CanPar depot, and CanPar has limited hours for pickup. If you cant make it to the local CANPAR within 5 days, its sent back and you are charged another $30 for delivery. (another $2.50 a can). After contacting customer support and asking to just keep our beer and refund the months fees, we were essentially told to suck
Lemons. We weee reminded of the purchase agreement stating that delivery issues were our problem, so, tough. Now they have our $60 AND our beer, because I'd rather not pay $90 for 12 cans of beer from last summer. If you are looking at this as a gift, beware- its more trouble for your recipient than a gift certificate to their favourite brewery, or a gift basket that you create for them from your local LCBO. Do either of the last 2, but stay away from the mediocre beers, inconvenient deliveries, and unreasonable customer support.

Tip for consumers:
Deliveries must be accepted in person, given perishable goods. If no one is home, it is sent to a local depot with limited hours and closed on weekends (CanPar in Canada). If not claimed within 5 days, further delivery charges will apply. No refunds, no compensation.
