Mail-order brews for all tastes
Wine drinkers have long relied on mail-order clubs to do much of their
legwork for them, and now the profusion of microbreweries leaves beer lovers
with the same need. Enter Beer Across America, which, for $20 each month, will
drop two six-packs of craft beer on your doorstep. That's a little more than
one usually pays for suds, but that price will get you a newsletter, a million
Styrofoam worms, and novelties like Wild Boar Winter Spice and Wasatch
Raspberry Wheat. Last month's offerings included Jet City (a hoppy,
Northwest-style red) and Elm City (a medium-bodied ale from New Haven). Call
(800) 854-BEER.
