I was a member of beermonthclub.com for several years. I enjoyed it very much. I liked being able to taste a lot of great beers, many of which are not commonly available in my area. Plus the little newsletter gives the ingredients to help educate and to even help a homebrewer develop his own recipes. The only reason I left is the expense... it's cheaper to pick up 6-packs at your local store than to have it shipped to your door. Also after a couple of years, you may find that you get repeats of things they sent in the past, although that wasn't the reason I left. Perhaps selection is improved now, I'm not sure. I was a member about 8 years ago. I would do it again, were it not for the unnecessary expense. It's definitely educational and enjoyable and makes a great gift.
