Father’s Day is getting close. Just three weeks to find the perfect gift. It goes without saying that the last few months have been a difficult and challenging time for everyone. So what I’m thinking is: Dad could use a drink!
Is he a beer drinker? Does he enjoy wine? Either way, you should start by browsing the numerous options offered by MonthlyClubs.com.
There are actually six different clubs (each with its own sub-groups) available to gift: beer, wine, cheese, chocolate, cigar, and flower, and you can even a design your own. I would be super excited to receive any of these! Okay, I’ll pass on the cigars, but all the other items are pretty much my favorite things!
While all the clubs look awesome, this Father’s Day post is dedicated to the alcohol clubs, for a couple of reasons: 1.) I’ve tried one of the beer and one of the wine clubs personally, so I can vouch for them, and 2.) give dad what he really needs this year—the gift of drink!
I really enjoy wine, though I am not very knowledgeable about it. I do know that I love red wine, and I was very impressed with the two reds I received from the Premier Series Wine Club in May:
- Black Pearl Vineyards Oro (2018 – South Africa)
- Bodega Diaz Bayo Ribera Del Duero Roble (2017 – Spain)
This club is a great one for me, as the wines are selected by a team of experts who actually take the time to visit and inspect vineyards, talk to the winemakers, and of course sample the products to ensure they are choosing the best products for their customers. I’ll put my trust in them rather than trying to randomly pick out something at the liquor store. The other nice thing is that you can customize your club to include just whites, just reds, or both. And, as with all of the clubs, you don’t even have to sign up monthly; bi-monthly or even quarterly subscriptions are also available. Here are some details about the club:

To seek out impressive new wines, we travel to the source, visiting regions such as Italy’s Piemonte, the Ribera del Duero and Rioja regions of Spain, the Western Cape of South Africa, and other top wine regions in countries like Chile, Australia, France, and here in the USA. We inspect vineyards, meet with winemakers and, most importantly, taste wines.

There are a bunch of excellent options for the beer clubs too: U.S. Microbrewed, U.S. and International Variety, Hop-Heads, International, or Rare Beer Club. While I’m not all that familiar with wine, I do know beer. So the Rare Beer Club jumped out at me, as I’m always on the lookout for those special beers. I was able to score both Van Steenberge’s Monk’s Café Grand Cru and Fulton’s War and Peace in the past. The selections are always spot on! It makes for a very nice gift that will surely impress the beer connoisseur in your life.

Never Receive a Beer You Don’t Want to Get! Our Personalized Shipment Program
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. Members receive two different styles in each shipment. We strive to offer variety between those two styles as well as from month to month. Variety to us means not only by style but also by country of origin, so rest assured that both domestic US craft brewers as well as time-honored international breweries will be represented.
