Any other members of The Original Craft Beer Club on here? If so, how's your experience been the last few months?

I've been a member since 2019 and I'm not sure if they got bought or something, but I've had missed shipments, I've received the same beers 2-3 times in a row (at weird intervals), and most recently I got some repeat beers from a couple of years ago that from the looks of the dusty bottles might actually BE from a couple of years ago (unfortunately no best by dates on the bottles).

I mean apricot wheat in November? Come on. It used to be a good, seasonally appropriate variety but now it's super hit or miss. And while I definitely enjoy supporting independent breweries and trying things from across the country that I otherwise might not get to try, this particular beer club is becoming increasingly disappointing.

Anyone else have a craft beer club they like that they've had good experiences with? I think I'm ready for a change.

Thanks!
