For those who enjoy craft beer ~

I really enjoy brewing beer, but I also really like to try beers from small or craft breweries wherever I go. Usually, when we go on a trip or vacation, The Beautiful Mrs. Tas is hitting the gift shops for knick-knacks, while I hit the small breweries or even grocery stores for locally-brewed beers that I can bring home. Many a tap room at a small brewery in the middle of nowhere has seen me rush in, knock back a sample or two, then fill a growler (or purchase a mixed 6-pack) and rush out as my poor, long-suffering wife waits in the car (she's not a fan of beer).

During those travels, I am able to find a lot of great Montana-brewed beers; also some from Wyoming and a few from North Dakota, Idaho or Colorado. Thanks to our recent trip to the Pacific Northwest, I was also able to find some great beers in Oregon and Washington. However, where the rest of the country is concerned, I have very little to no access for American-brewed craft beers...so, when I came across this "Craft Beer Club," I was - at the very least - interested:

The details seem pretty straight forward: a selected 12 beers each month from a very impressive list of breweries across the country, delivered to your door with free shipping. Each delivery contains three beers from 4 different breweries. Ironically, whenever I buy new beers to try, I always buy them in multiples of three, so that my son (Mike), my father and I can all sample them - with that in mind, this arrangement works out pretty well, for me.

The selection of breweries looks to be good and, from what I can see, the list will continue to grow in the future:

I have tried two or three of the labels on the list (from Montana and Wyoming) during the course of my travels, and they have been very good; so I am confident that this "club" can give me access to other good beers from all over the country.

The cost doesn't seem too bad at all; add in the fact that each purchase and/or month gives back 10% in order to help the forum pay for itself, and I would actually be paying only a little more than I already am every time I buy a bottle of "craft" beer at my local grocery. When you factor in the free shipping and the free gifts, the cost seems even more reasonable.

I'm willing to pay a little to try beers from all over the country, so I'll probably give this a go, at least for a couple-three months. If anyone else is interested, take a moment to look at this, and consider it.
