SAN DIEGO, July 18, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CraftBeerConnect.com today announced the launch of their new craft beer club, the first and only online beer retailer focused on Southern California craft breweries. At launch, CraftBeerConnect.com offers more than 200+ beers from 26 Southern California-based breweries to its members who choose exactly which beers they want from four membership tiers that range in price from $25 to $50 per month.
With Southern California being touted by both The New York Times and Food & Wine as one of the hottest craft beer areas in the country, CraftBeerConnect.com aims to expose the rest of the U.S. to some of the finest and most innovative craft beers available today.
"Most beer-of-the-month clubs are extremely limited by offering only a single package with the beers chosen solely at the discretion of the club owners – you never know what you're getting or where it's from. With CraftBeerConnect.com we wanted to give our members full control over what they're drinking and provide the experience and choices of a local SoCal brew pub," said Ted Kelly of CraftBeerConnect.com
A CraftBeerConnect.com membership works just like Netflix; members add the beers available in their tier to their queue and get them in the mail the first week of every month. If the queue isn't updated, CraftBeerConnect.com will make picks based on previously selections. Members can change tiers at any time and there are no long term commitments.
Members who sign up for tiers 1-3 receive six 22 oz. or 750 ml bottles per month primarily made up of limited release and specialty brews. Tier 4 members get twelve 12 oz. bottles per month and can choose from craft beers typically available year-round.
More than just a retail site, CraftBeerConnect.com is a community for beer lovers where they can browse product descriptions and specifications (alcohol level, bitterness rating), read reviews, write their own reviews and share with friends via Facebook, browse beer events and even get exclusive food pairings and recipes from local chefs.
As part of the public launch, anyone who signs up for a membership in July or August will receive a polished stainless steel bottle opener with their first delivery.
