So the holidays have come and gone and you have a little extra cash on hand than usual. How are you going to treat yourself? Decisions, decisions…

Well, here is one option…The Rare Beer Club. Take a close-up look at the January additions to the club below: Saint Somewhere Cynthiana Belgian Ale and Les Trois Mousquetaires Baltic Porter. Note: I’m told that Saint Somewhere Cynthiana is exclusive to the club and that Les Trois Mousquetaires Baltic Porter is virtually exclusive to the club.

More on this month’s featured beers:

Saint Somewhere Cynthiana Belgian Ale: “The Cynthiana grape must (i.e. the fresh pressed skins, seeds and juice) is added to the secondary fermenter, where some sugars are fermented out but plenty of the character remains in the beer—though this particular grape is known for its relatively neutral qualities, so don’t be surprised if its influence is nuanced. Cynthiana pours an absolutely gorgeous copper orange color, dressed with a large, cream-colored head. A truly beautiful beer—hold it up and let it catch some sunlight to really appreciate how beautiful this beer is.”

Les Trois Mousquetaires Baltic Porter: “Porter Baltique is a mainly traditional version that evokes those still produced around the Baltic today—but at 10% ABV, it’s among the strongest available. It pours deeply dark brown beneath a massive, dense mocha-colored head. This beer has a complex aroma; expect everything from prunes, plums and other dark fruits, leather, tobacco, chocolate, caramel, wood (oak?) with a touch of smoke and almonds in the back. The flavor is rich with notes of molasses, brown sugar, coffee, chocolate, cherries, dates and impressions of leather and wood. Look for dark rum notes as it warms. A slight woody, peppery spice note offsets the sweetness quite nicely.”

So, what do I get when I order?

You can order a no-obligation membership or a prepaid membership. There is no cancellation fee. 100% satisfaction is guaranteed. There are three different membership levels:

Platinum – (6) – 750 ml. bottles each month, three bottles of two different beers. $68.95 plus $18.00 S&H per month.

Gold – (4) – 750 ml. bottles each month, two bottles of two different beers. $51.95 plus $15.00 S&H per month.

Handy Information:

There is flexibility in terms of how often you choose to receive beers and what beers you receive. Personal and gift memberships can be shipped monthly, every other month, quarterly or even on specific months.

Rare Beer Club personal memberships are given additional flexibility through their Future Shipment Update (FSU) Program. Members are sent an email at the beginning of the month detailing the two upcoming selections and a form that allows them to either skip the entire shipment, skip only one of the beers, or add more bottles of either the featured beers or their favorite past selections. In short, you’ll never get a beer you didn’t want as a personal member.

Memberships can also be ordered to give as beer gifts as opposed to just for yourself.

Additional note from Adam:

Seriously, kill two birds with one stone. Doing business with sponsors like the Rare Beer Club is a great way to support Beernews.org AND get yourself some beer at the same time. While comments are closed on sponsored posts, I encourage you to [email protected]“>send me direct feedback about how the RBC and other sponsors are doing when you order from them. I have no hand in the fulfillment process so it’s kind of out of my sight after a post goes up. I do occasionally see feedback out in public forums but just wanted to open up a line of communication between you, the reader, and myself. Cheers! Adam
