Beer Club Questions

Why is GreatGiftClubs.com better than those beer-of-the-month clubs? Fresher, wider variety, more choices for you!

Our beer club is supplied by Beer on the Wall, the Internet's leading beer gift shop!

We handle all of our own product - those other clubs all have their beer shipped from fulfillment centers and never even see the beer you are getting - that is just wrong!

Ever heard of "skunky" beer? Those other beer-of-the-month clubs buy huge quantities of only a few different beers that sit at room temperature in their warehouses for who knows how long. NOT US! OUR BEER IS ALWAYS FRESH! We buy very small amounts of bunches of different beers and keep them refrigerated from the time we get them until we ship them to you! We religiously rotate our beers to keep them brewery fresh. Total Quality is our #1 Goal!

Other beer-of-the-month clubs usually make you wait to get your beer. WE DON'T! We let you decide when you want your beer, and that's when we ship it!

How does it work? It's simple.

You simply choose one of our "Beer of the Month" memberships in 6-packs or 12-packs, decide how many months you would like to receive them, and go to "Check Out!" It's that easy! This is the ideal gift for anyone who appreciates good micro brewed beer. Of course it doesn't have to be a gi ft, you can also order these for yourself! Purchase One NOW!

Join our "Beer of the Month Club" and you will get a different 6- pack or 12-pack every month consisting of three delicious micro brew flavors (...two bottles of each flavor for the 6-pack club, or four bottles of each flavor for the 12-pack club). You choose how long you want to join. Memberships range from 2 to 12 months. You can also decide to keep getting these great brews "Forever" if you like!

You will also receive our monthly "OFF The Wall" Newsletter full of cool beer facts, stories, interviews with brewers, information about our featured beers, and lots of other cool stuff.

When will I get my beer?

Your first shipment will go out right away. The remainder of the monthly shipments leave our refer on a schedule wi ht other club members, during the first two weeks of each month.

Do you ship to Hawaii or Alaska?

No, unfortunately we are unable to ship any club memberships to Hawaii or Alaska.

Do we keep all our beer refrigerated? YES!

We ensure freshness by always keeping your beer cold. We keep your beer in temperature controlled (38 degrees F) rooms until we ship it to you!

How do I know the beer I get will be fresh? We stake our name on it!

Temperature and shelf life are the two most important factors in keeping microbrews fresh. We keep our beer at 38 degrees F and keep very small quantities of each beer on hand to ensure a quick turnaround from the brewery to you!

We work closely with the brewers to ensure that the beer they brew will arrive fresh at your doorstep. Certain craft beers cannot even stand a few days of warm temperature without spoiling their taste. If we can't meet the brewers specific recommendations for a certain beer, we will not offer that beer to you. And that's a fact! Total Quality is our Goal!

How do we pick the beers we offer? One at a time!

The beer experts at Beer on the Wall constantly travel throughout the west coast visiting breweries, talking with the brewers, and tasting beers at their source. "We offer you only the best beers that we find, and every beer that we sell is hand picked by us!" Believe it or not, many beer-of-the-month clubs don't even pick their own beers, they just get whatever the fulfillment center is shipping this month.

How is the beer packaged and shipped? Environmentally friendly!

We spent the extra bucks to design an environmentally friendly packaging system which accommodates the wide range of bottle sizes that we sell. We do not use styrofoam inserts. Please help our planet by recycling the packaging we send to you, thanks!

Shipping is done through a network of ground carriers and delivery is made to your home or office. Someone at least 21 years old must be available to sign for the package when it arrives.

Why does microbrew need to be kept refrigerated? It's ALIVE!

Like milk, microbrew is alive. As it sits around it changes. The changes can lead to off-tastes, bad flavors, cloudiness and color changes. If kept cold (below 40 degrees F), the changes are drastically slowed down.

The majority of the beers that we carry are very much alive and need to be kept cold. When you receive your beer, be sure to put it in your refrigerator as soon as possible to preserve its fresh taste.

If you buy beer from other sources, be sure to ask if they keep their beer refrigerated!
