What did it involve? I am sure there are a few places that have a "Beer of the Month Club".
You can always google Beer of the Month Club. I did and found this. Not sure if it's the same.

My wife (gf at the time) got me 4 months of it for my birthday once. Its 3 bottles of 4 different types of beer, mostly micro-brews. Come strait to your front door every month. Some of them were pretty good, some of them were g-d awful. Not sure it's worth the price.

This sounds about what my in-laws got me for Christmas this year. It can be real hit and miss. The one I've got is usually two different microbrews with two different beers from each. I've had a few decent beers from some micros out east that I probably wouldn't have gotten otherwise, but they weren't anything spectacular. I'd say so far its been about 20% beers that I'd buy again, 50% that were alright and I'd drink but probably wouldn't buy, and 30% that wound sitting around in the fridge until I could pawn them off on an unsuspecting guest
. I think I'd rather go out to the store and buy the beer I wanted than depend on what they were sending me. Of course, its a good gift idea if you want to avoid something you won't use anyways!

Midwest... that was it....
i have thought about doing this myself, i wonder if its all extract kits with specialty grains, or if you can do it all grain, don't matter to me. i would like to just do a different one every month. that would be cool. good way to always have one in the fermenter, and some bottled or kegged

Ah, so its a brew-kit of the month club! Here's the website from Midwest, because I had to go check it out. Not sure which sounds better, the Lager and Ale or All-Ale, assuming you've got the ability to lager. I'd much prefer that over the beer-of-the-month microbrew batch I get! Although, it sounds like by buying the monthly kit it works out to one free kit over the course of the 12 months. If there were two kits on the list that you probably wouldn't buy, it'd likely be cheaper to buy the kits yourself. However, I know from time to time I get busy and could use something like this to remind me to get a brew going to keep my pipeline up!
