3 Reasons to try a beer subscription

3 Reasons to try a beer subscription | H is for Home

Clubs and associations are the easiest way to bring people with shared interests together. Many of these now operate online. Beer clubs are one such enterprise. People pay an individual subscription and receive a selection of craft beers each month.

Using Amazing Clubs beer club, we want to highlight the positive benefits of membership in this post. Here are three good reasons why you should consider joining a beer subscription service!

  1. Taste quality beers from home and overseas

Amazing Clubs beer club specialises in premium quality, hard to find beers. They offer the best beers brewed both locally, nationally and internationally – as selected by in house experts.

Most beer drinkers want to sample different beers. A chance to experience the various brewing methods and taste the subtle flavours incorporated. There’s so much variety and complexity on offer in the craft beer world. You now have the option of bringing these amazing beers straight to your door.

New and exciting craft brewers are springing up all the time; these may be a long way from home. Therefore, under normal circumstances, you might never even hear of them let alone taste their products. A beer club subscription will give you access to them.

Many of the gourmet selections offered through beer clubs are unavailable to the general public.

  1. Convenience & money saving

When you compare a beer club membership to heading out into bars and specialist stores there’s often money to be saved. In fact, Amazing Clubs beer club guarantees that you won’t find the products offered at a lower price elsewhere.

Busy bars aren’t for everyone either. More and more people are opting to have a drink whilst relaxing at home (and sometimes even the most gregarious of us just fancy a quiet night in). With beer clubs, you have the convenience of that option.

You pay a monthly subscription fee; and with this, the hassle of searching out interesting beer choices has been removed. They’ll arrive, securely packaged, right to your doorstep.

  1. Beer clubs offer a wide array of services

Before joining any club, take time to know it and the quality of service that they deliver.

Most beer clubs ensure that their in-house experts taste and rate the beers before sending them your way. This is certainly the case with Amazing Clubs beer club.

Each month, you’ll receive an ever-changing selection of beers. From these you’ll be able to identify favourite brewers and brews. Amazing Clubs beer club guarantees that you won’t receive the same item twice.

Expert tasting notes will help you identify the aspects of beer flavour and type that you gravitate towards for future purchases. There may be online forums where you can chat with other beer lovers.

In addition, they offer gift services – a beer club subscription could be the perfect solution for that special present you’re searching for.

A welcome coffee delivery

The Roast Club coffee subscription delivery | H is for Home

We love trying new kinds of food, new types of wine – and now we’ve been given the opportunity to try some new varieties of coffee.

This was made possible thanks to the people over at The Roast Club – a speciality coffee delivery company.

They offer a flexible subscription service whereby you sign up on their website and they send you a month’s supply of beans through the post – in a box that easily fits through an average-sized letter box so you won’t miss delivery. Each month, you’re sent a selection of four premium beans.

They only sell beans, so you’ll need your own grinder. Once roasted coffee beans have been ground, they begin to oxidise and deteriorate – The Roast Club advises (and so do we) that you should try to grind your beans mere minutes before you’re going to use them.

Each 100g bag of their single-origin beans come with explanatory notes about the region, grower, roaster, process and taste – just like you’d get with a case of wine… they and we take our coffee very seriously!

Since our box arrived, we’ve downed tools for an espresso tasting session each afternoon. This consists of cutting open one of the pouches, doing a quick stick-of-the-nose-in-the-bag and inhaling deeply (everyone does this, right?), spooning out a couple of scoops, grinding, pouring, tamping, brewing, tasting, enjoying.

Our selection of four coffees were all medium roasts and very mellow. The Roast Club opt for these mellow varieties over rich roasts as they feel the subtleties of the beans can shine through more easily. As for those subtle flavours – caramel, chocolate, jasmine, lemon… even pineapple and strawberry can all come through as you sip. My favourite of this month’s offering is #30, Kochere from Fortitude Coffee.

If you like the sound of discovering and learning about new coffees each month, The Roast Club makes it easy. Place a one-off order or a recurring 1/3/6/12-month subscription that you can pause or cancel at any time (with free P&P for UK customers).

Price Points: Coffee subscriptions

Coffee subscriptions | H is for Home

Last week, we featured online tea offers; this week, it’s only fair to investigate a few coffee subscriptions available. We only drink one or two cups each per day, but we like them to be made using good quality beans. Favourite of ours are full-bodied espresso beans – and decaf espresso beans for evening consumption.

  1. Coffee-Direct: from £5.99 per 227 sample bag (save 15% when bought on subscription)
    Probably the one of the three that has the most choice – there are 16 different Espresso roast coffees alone! Coffee-Direct explain:

    At the checkout you have the option to choose to receive your order periodically, at any frequency that suits you. What’s more, once your subscription is set up, you’re able to amend, skip, pause or delete your subscription at any time.

  2. Coffee REAL: subscriptions – £36 – £328 (3, 6 or 12 month coffee subscriptions, 6 – 52 bags of beans)
    Coffee REAL is a company with a charitable heart. 10% of the purchase price of their espresso blend goes directly to the Born Free Foundation – and, even better, the blend is made from 2 top coffees that originate in areas where Born Free run wildlife projects.
  3. Skinny Coffee Club: from £24.95 (28 day, 8-week and 12-week day/night programmes)
    Well, I never knew that you could drink coffee in an effort to help you drop a dress size or two! According to their blurb:

    Skinny Coffee Club is ideal for those looking to lose weight, fast. It’s tasty, organic and designed specifically to raise your metabolism, burn fat, fill you with energy throughout the day and leave you feeling fuller for longer.

    There’s only 63mg of caffeine and 6 calories in each cup. Skinny Coffee is comprised of ground coffee, ground green coffee bean extract, green tea extract powder, Garcinia Cambogia, Siberian ginseng powder and spirulina powder. I’ve no idea how much like traditional coffee it tastes but there are thousands of reviews on their website posted by satisfied (slimmer) customers!
