Not sure if anyone heard of this, but a while back i signed up for the waiting list to get on this.

Here's some info on Noble Brewer

quote:

Launched in March, NB is a beer club that finds great homebrewers and then handles all the dirty work of getting their products to the public by sending out quarterly shipments featuring four 22-ounce bottles created from these amazing non-professional brewers’ recipes.

How do they find these club-worthy homebrews? The company’s unique business model has garnered enough interest that homebrewers have been reaching out to them, but from there, submissions undergo a serious vetting process.

Founder/CEO Claude Burns says the first thing they look for is an award winning product. “We use homebrewing contests as an objective measure,” he says. “We'll also use other objective measures such as if their beer was made professionally before or if the homebrewer has won a ton of other awards and wants to make something else.” From there, things get a bit more technical: They also want to be sure brewers are willing to share their story so “members know not only what they're drinking but also who made it.” The beer also has to be producible on a larger scale: “Homebrewers are extremely creative so sometimes they use techniques or ingredients that we wouldn't be able to successfully replicate at a commercial brewery,” says Burns.


I just got the email this morning that I am not eligible to subscribe, so i sent through my payment. It was $44/shipment for 4 bombers 4 times/year. With shipping it worked out to $9, but they are sending a $28 voucher, so there is a small discount. Might as well try it, and see if it's any good. Gets some pretty decent reviews on untappd, so we'll see. If i don't like it i can always choose not to order the next shipment.

Are brewers just donating their beers to these guys?

I've seen local trade/swap groups before, but this seems odd and borderline illegal (at least in Louisiana).
