First Beer of the Month Shipment Has Arrived
First Shipment from Beer of the Month Club
A few weeks back I wrote a post about the Microbrew Beer of the Month club that I had joined. I have been waiting patiently (or at least I have been trying to wait patiently) for my first shipment to arrive and it came today. I had it shipped to my work since it required an adult signature and was pleasantly surprised to see that the packaging was very discreet. It showed no signs of what might be inside. For me, it’s not a problem either way, I am an owner of the business, but it’s still nice to see that they got the little things right with this beer of the month club.
For my first 3 months, I signed up to receive all domestic microbrews. However, they must have run out of two of the selections as I got two domestic beers and two beers from the Czech Republic. They did include a note letting me know that they had to make these substitutions. I am not complaining, they have a club that sends 2 domestic beers and 2 International beers and it’s more expensive than the one I signed up for so I was glad that if they couldn’t fill my order, they upgraded me.
The shipment came with a newsletter that gives you background on the breweries as well as the beers that were chosen. The newsletter was well written but I found the formatting to be a bit confusing.
I am going to do a review of all 4 beers that I received but until that time, here is what I got:
- Diamond Beer Brewing Company – Presidential IPA
- Florida Beer Company – Hurricane Reef Pale Ale
- Pivovar Herold – Bohemian Granat Lager
- Pivovar Herold – Bohemian Black Lager
I will update this post with links to each review as I do them. you can follow along with me if you like and join the same Beer of the Month club that I belong to by going to the Gourmet Beer of the Month Club.

Nice. I’ve gotten stuff from them as well, and I can say they do seem to do a nice job. My bottles appeared a little dusty like they were exposed in a warehouse or something, but the beer was absolutely fine. I think its cool – you get some new beers that you might not have otherwise ever tried.
