I've seen Tavour mentioned a couple times on the forums and thought I'd start a thread to see who else was using it.
If you aren't familiar it's a monthly by mail beer club. You pay a flat shipping rate (or think of it as a membership fee) of $14.90 a month. That fee doesn't change regardless of the amount of beer you order. It's been around for a while, but only started shipping to Iowa a few months ago.
There is an app on your phone that suggests beers to order. Typically you get a notification for 1 or 2 different beers a day. Beers come from all over the US and a few from outside the US. All beers that you aren't going to find unless you are local to that brewery. Almost all have Untappd ratings that are 4+. I've had several I've checked in on Untappd that had less than 100 check ins at the time.
Downsides are higher price. I'd compare prices to if you go to a bar and order a good craft beer, so not terrible, but more than getting an Iowa craft beer at HyVee Wine and Spirits.
Also there is a little concern being mainly an IPA guy that IPAs are best the fresher they are. The beers all start out fresh, but since they only ship once a month plus shipping to Tavour and then to you that some could be less than ideal freshness by the time they get to you. I haven't noticed issues, but I don't know what they tasted like with full freshness so not sure what I am missing.

Also I'm posting this for the discussion and not trying to drum up referrals, but there is a referral system and you get a little discount if you get a code from a current member (and the current member does to). Send me a PM if interested.
