I keep getting introductory offer leaflets for craft beer or wine clubs come with magazines and have always just chucked them but has anyone found good ones worth trying? I presume you only get them if you sign up to a monthly direct debit but are these easy to cancel when they insist there’s “no further commitment”?

Laithwaites for wine spring to mind, and I’m currently holding a Beer Hawk advert...?

Beer Hawk have good selection. Some decent offers - currently offering 30 Goose Island beers for £30. Their mystery cases are good, especially the frequent 2 for 1 deals. Just cracked open their advent calendar which got me a Sierra Nevada I haven’t tried and a nice bottle of Belgian Trappist ale. Nice.

Beer Hawk are owned by Inbev which matters to some people. I've always had good service from Honest Brew who also actively invest in small craft brewers and are themselves independent. I've tried a sub from beer52 for about a year and whilst most of the beers were ok it was unusual for anything to be amazing. I didn't renew when the card I'd used to pay for it expired. A friend said the cancellation process was awkward but it may have changed now.

I’ve been with beer52 the past year. I’ve been impressed with the service and it’s been good to see some beers from small local breweries along with larger breweries however I pause it every so often if I don’t like what they’re offering (like this months beer52 food collaboration beers)

However I spend a lot of time at a local brewery rap room so rarely drink beer at home so it’s stockpiling ready for Christmas.
