Why are Dads so hard to buy for? Whenever you ask them what they want - they never know. Honestly, you could ask them for a whole year, and they still wouldn’t give you a straight answer. Instead of guessing what to buy your dad for Father’s Day, get him a beer subscription instead.
Whether he has a favourite type of beer and brand or just likes to be adventurous and try something new, there's a beer subscription service out there for him. He doesn’t just have to be a crafty beer man either – there are subscriptions for everything from IPA, to stout, too.
Signing up for a beer subscription service means that you can extend your gift beyond the one day of the year where you’re supposed to tell your dad how much you care. You can tell him this every month with a special delivery at his door.
All you have to do now is decide which one is right for your dad. Luckily, we’ve rounded up all our favourite beer subscriptions to help you decide. Good luck 🍺

Why do we celebrate Father's Day?
It's nice to celebrate our dads, so much so that we don't need an excuse. But do you know why we celebrate it?
While Mother's Day is a Christian holiday in the UK, Father's Day actually stems from the US, from a rather sombre affair. The first Father's Day took place in 1908 in West Virginia when a church held a special sermon honouring fathers after 362 men were killed in a mining accident.
In 1909, a woman called Sonora Smart Dodd petitioned to see Father's Day recognised as a national day to honour her father, and all other dads out there, and the Washington state celebrated its first official Father's Day in 1910.
Now, countries across the globe celebrate the day, each with a different date and different traditions. In the UK, it's become popular to buy ties, socks, booze and sentimental keepsakes for our dads, but tbh, we'd pick a beer-themed gift any day of the week.
