Beer52 is one of the more well known names in subscription box space and have been going for several years now.

Their focus is on small batch, with a lot of international brews from lesser known breweries.

What’s fantastic is that the range is usually a lot broader and quite global, each month having a set theme they adhere to.

Included in the box is also a set of snacks and a magazine (Available separately for £5 a month). One of my favourite things about this box is the quality of the magazine – a full colour 80 page booklet that has in depth stories from a mix of breweries. The production quality is really high and is a fab read if you’re keen to keep up to date with the industry.

Each month they review that month’s beers on YouTube, giving a good idea of what you’re getting into before you sign up.

The selection of beers was good, with both porters, IPAs and a real variety. The box packaging was also a really nice touch – compact and innovative, with it all slotting in with easy open tabs.

Their online account system lets you build up points, and if you’re really into your beer (and spending a lot of money with them) then you gain access to small, limited edition brews.

A bit more choice of what to receive, and a reduction in cost would make this a firm favourite. It’s very nearly there.
