Saw something that caught my eye online at the weekend – an online beer club where you (and fellow subscribers) are sent a selection of brews that get drunk once a week and discussed with other club members via the world wide web. I mailed Matt from said club – Beer Bods – and asked him why and how…

“BeerBods subscribers are sent 12 bottles of beer in the post, every 12 weeks. We all drink one bottle of beer from a small, independent brewery, every week. We also send you the story behind that beer and tell you all about the fine folk that made it. The power of the internet and a bit of clever logistics means everyone drinks the same beer each week, because a beer shared with friends always tastes better.

“I launched BeerBods because I love beer. I love beer with a story behind it. I love beer made by small, local, independent breweries; the kind that put their hearts, souls and ideas in to what they are making. I love beer that reflects where it was made and who it was made by. I love beer that makes you think about what’s in it. I love beer that you can chat about with friends. This is my idea to get more people drinking that kind of beer.”
