Beer52

Founded in 2013, Beer52 has become one of the best-known craft beer clubs in the UK and beyond, and it is our pick for most people who want to explore rather than repeat. Each box arrives on a monthly (28-day) cycle with a different theme — a country, a region or a style — alongside a copy of its Ferment magazine explaining the beers and two artisan snacks, which positions it as a curated experience rather than a plain case of cans. Indicative pricing runs from £27 for eight beers up to around £51 for sixteen, with a £2.95 delivery charge typically added from the second box onwards (indicative, checked September 2026). It holds a solid 4-star rating on Trustpilot across a very large review base at the time of writing. The main trade-off is control: Beer52's cases are pre-curated (you choose mixed or light-only, not individual beers), and cancellation requires a phone call to customer service — Beer52 asks for a few days' notice before your next 28-day billing date — rather than an online click, which is the most common complaint in feedback.
