Uncommon beers for Christmas...?!
Answers: I'm interested in giving a variety of beers for a Christmas gift. I know that you can do a beer of the month club but that's almost too much beer and way too expensive for me. My friend loves to go to the liquor store and pick out uncommon ales but we live in a VERY small town and there isn't really that many options. I honesly will not have the opprotunity to drive to a bigger city and hit the liquor stores before the holiday and would actually like to do this online if posssible. Has anyone ever ordered beer somewhere online? Thanks!
anything worth doing is worth doing right... I'd say postpone the beer gift in place of something else unless you can fit time into your schedule to get to a better beer store. The website beeradvocate.com has a beer store finder that can help you locate a good store anywhere in the world, literally. As per the beer of the month clubs; 1- the are VERY over priced for what you get, 2- you dont get to pick with great detail what beers you will be getting; ie you mention he likes ales (broad category) but half of the beers that come in your beer of the month club might be pilsners and lagers and be a miss to his tastes. Do check beeradvocate, click the "directory" link on the side to find a store and the site also offers an amazing database of beer styles and ratings. good luck
edit- if you act quickly you may be able to get your local store to get whatever beer you are looking for, it is not a problem for them (though no gurantee they will do it) they simply have to ask their distributor to drop off your special order along with their standard fair.
they don't sell beer online.....its illegal..
how are they going to prove your age?
go to nyc down by wall street before new years day, there's a bar there that has all flavors of beer, they let you sample them for free too, the beer taste different, but if you're a beer lover, you'll love the place, the price is a little high but you'll have the greatest beer experience of your lifetime, i remember i went to this place with my brother and good friend and we sure had a good time!!
buy some chimay beer, or a Samuel Adams Sampler or any beers by Victory
