Crafty Beer Club (brewmee)

What's in the box: A selection of bottled craft beers from small independent Swiss breweries, such as six bottle tasting packs from a single brewery.

Brewmee is a Swiss online marketplace for craft beer that ships bottles from independent Swiss breweries straight to your door. It works with partner breweries from across the country, including Blaue Ente from Basel-Landschaft, Dear.Beer and Fleur de Lyss from Bern, Fox Brew from St. Gallen, Migi Bräu from Nidwalden and Momo Microbirrificio from Ticino. That spread gives a fair amount of regional variety, though many of the partners are in the canton of Bern. The shop sells single bottles, six bottle tasting packs from individual breweries, and a seasonal Swiss craft beer advent calendar priced at CHF 149.00. The site does not clearly explain how the Crafty Beer Club subscription works, how often deliveries arrive or what a recurring plan costs, so check those details before you sign up. The site is in German only, which may be a hurdle for French or Italian speakers and for visitors from abroad. Customer service is by email, and the company says it wants to support local brewers and Swiss beer culture. If you want to try small Swiss breweries you are unlikely to find in supermarkets, Brewmee is a good place to start. If you want a subscription with clearly stated terms, you may find the information too thin.
