SWMBO has bought me the beer of the month thing twice over the years. First time, 5-6 years ago, DHL was the shipper and would not leave without someone 21 there to receive. Then, just last year it was FedEx, and I'd come home from work, and the beer would be waiting for me.........
BTW, I've never had a "good beer" from one of these clubs. All east coast lagers. WE need a BOM club that focuses on northwest IPA's. LOL.
Lot's of inconsitancies. Roll the dice, take your chances.
