We’re back for another round with the The Rare Beer Club. Last month was a primo time to join in and I’m here to tell you the good news…it still is.

In November, the Rare Beer Club is working with the Shelton Brothers to bring you Fantôme Magic Ghost. This is virtually an exclusive offering to the Rare Beer Club with only around 50 cases being available out in the market. This month also brings a beer from a small up-and-coming Southern California brewery, Telegraph Winter Ale.

More on this month’s featured beers:

Fantôme Magic Ghost: A green-colored beer. “This is a complex, if not mysterious beer, with quite a lot going on. In the finish, expect a nice, clean wheaty twang and dryness, with almost no alcohol detected. At full warmth, and toward the end of the bottle especially, earthier, minerally notes not unlike spinach make an appearance, as do particles of green sediment. Yes, green sediment. Don’t freak, just embrace the uniqueness of the experience.”

Telegraph Winter Ale: “Owner and Founder Brian Thompson tells us that ‘the guys at the brewery feel like the holidays have arrived when we get around to making this beer.’ We’d love to be there on brew day when the aromas from this beer and all 6 of its malts and 5+ spices fill the air. Part of the inspiration for this beer is Mexican-style hot chocolate (as a co-nod to local culture and the season). You’ll get that in the chocolate malt notes, but also from the whole cinnamon sticks and ground ancho chili peppers in the recipe. Allspice and cloves are also in the mix, as well as another spice or two that the brewery is keeping to themselves.”

So, what do I get when I order?

You can order a no-obligation membership or a prepaid membership. There is no cancellation fee. 100% satisfaction is guaranteed. There are three different membership levels:

Platinum – (6) – 750 ml. bottles each month, three bottles of two different beers. $68.95 plus $18.00 S&H per month.

Gold – (4) – 750 ml. bottles each month, two bottles of two different beers. $51.95 plus $15.00 S&H per month.

Handy Information:

There is flexibility in terms of how often you choose to receive beers and what beers you receive. Personal and gift memberships can be shipped monthly, every other month, quarterly or even on specific months.

Rare Beer Club personal memberships are given additional flexibility through their Future Shipment Update (FSU) Program. Members are sent an email at the beginning of the month detailing the two up and coming selections and a form that allows them to either skip the entire shipment, skip only one of the beers, or add more bottles of either the featured beers or their favorite past selections. In short, you’ll never get a beer you didn’t want as a personal member.

Memberships can also be ordered to give as beer gifts as opposed to just for yourself.

Additional note from Adam:

Seriously, kill two birds with one stone. Doing business with sponsors like the Rare Beer Club is a great way to support Beernews.org AND get yourself some beer at the same time. While comments are closed on sponsored posts, I encourage you to beersage@gmail.com“>send me direct feedback about how the RBC and other sponsors are doing when you order from them. I have no hand in the fulfillment process so it’s kind of out of my sight after a post goes up. I do occasionally see feedback out in public forums but just wanted to open up a line of communication between you, the reader, and myself. Cheers! Adam
