Supporter Post:
The Rare Beer Club™ enters the spring season by featuring two breweries for the first time: Prairie Artisan Ales and Birra Amiata.
Oh, and we very rarely endorse beers but Logsdon Seizoen Bretta from last month’s shipment is one of the best beers we’ve tried in recent memory. That one can still be ordered. More on that below…
Here is what you need to know:
1) Use a BeerPulse discount
Use one of the promo codes below when you order.
BEERPULSE10 – $10 off ANY Beer Club Membership (2-month minimum)
BEERPULSE15 – $15 off ANY prepaid Beer Club Membership of 6 months or longer
BEERPULSE25 – $25 off ANY prepaid 12 month Beer Club Membership
2) Check out this month’s featured beers
Prairie Noir Barrel Aged Imperial Stout (97/62 on RateBeer): “First batch yielded only 100 cases which was distributed only in Oklahoma. We’re featuring the 2nd batch ever produced and taking all but 50 cases which will more than likely all be distributed in Chicago. ”
Birra Amiata Contessa (92/84 on RateBeer): “Very small brewery. Only producing 2000 HL annually, most of which is distributed locally. Only 300 (12 bottle) cases sold in the US last year. Limited distribution in NYC, Boston, Chicago, Philly and FL.”

To get these beers, please place your order on or before April 15th.
3) Don’t like this month’s featured beers? Substitute in other beers.
For your first shipment, you will receive the above two beers unless you specify otherwise. You may call and ask for one of the beers that they still have on the floor and substitute it into your first shipment. Just make sure to do so right after you place your order.
Beginning with the second month, you’ll automatically be enrolled in the Personalized Shipment Program™ which ensures that as a personal member of The Rare Beer Club™ you’ll receive only the beers you want to get. (Also available to gift recipients upon request.) Each month prior to receiving your shipment, you will be sent an email detailing the two upcoming beer selections and given the ability customize what you will receive. You can:
-Add more bottles of either or both of the upcoming featured beers
-Add more of your favorite past selections
-Replace one or both of the featured beers with your favorite past selections
-Choose not to receive one of the featured beers
-Skip the entire shipment altogether
-You’re in complete control of what you receive every month and can rest easy knowing you’ll never get a beer you didn’t want to get. No other beer club offers that kind of flexibility.
