What’s a Craft Champion?

Craft Champions are our members – a beer lover much cherished by us and our brewers.

As a Craft Champion you pay less for your beers ALWAYS, you get the best deals and access to exclusive beers and perks by putting $45 a month into your account to spend on future orders when you feel like.

The $45 Craft Champion deposit. Is it a fee?

Straight answer: NO - it’s your money. It remains in your Beer Account for you to spend on whatever beers you want, whenever you want.

You can pause your monthly deposits or cancel at any time.

Why are the beers cheaper?

Because of the unique Only Craft Beer model!

We cut out the middlemen (such as distributors/wholesellers/bottleshops, you name it!) who mark up the price of the beer taking advantage of beer lovers to increase their bottom lines.

You are ordering direct from the brewer and when the fresh beer leaves the brewery, it only has one destination – your house. No extra transit time, extra handling or extra warehouses.

All those savings are passed on to our Craft Champions. 

How does it work?

You deposit $45 into your Craft Champion account each month. That is your money to spend on beer in the Only Craft Beer marketplace - there are no fees or costs.

You can buy beer whenever you want - there are no cool down periods or delays for accessing your Beer Dollars.

You can buy whatever you choose - it’s not a subscription, and your dollars won’t be ‘spent’ on any beer you didn’t specifically choose.

What happens to my money?

Each month you top-up your account with $45, it is yours to spend whenever you like.

Craft Champion is not a subscription and this isn't a membership fee and you will never receive unsolicited beer. Your money builds up until you want to buy some beer. 

Is my money at risk?  

No, there’s no risk to your Beer Dollars. They’ll never get taken away from you.

Will I still be able to access my Beer Dollars whenever I want?

Absolutely. There will never be a time when you can’t access your own Beer Dollars.

Will my Beer Dollars ever expire? 

No, they will always remain available to you as your money to spend on beer. You can spend your Beer Dollars straight away, or every few months, or save up for a huge blowout in 2025!

What are the benefits?

Here’s where it gets fun.

Craft Champions get a discount on every purchase they make from Only Craft Beer. Each product on the website shows one price for the general public, and a cheaper price for Craft Champions.

Think of it as the special benefits of being part of an exclusive club. Think of it as mates’ rates. Think of it as the perks of a clever financial decision. But however you think of it… it’s cheaper beer!

Craft Champions can earn extra Beer Dollars. When you spend more than $150 a quarter (ie three months), Only Craft Beer will reward you with a bonus 10 Beer Dollars in your account. That’s free money to spend on beer.

Craft Champions get access to exclusive beers and invites to exclusive events. It pays to be part of the in-crowd.

Excellent! Where do I sign up?

Right here.

Start depositing. Start saving. Start enjoying great beer!

… still some doubts, no worries …


How do I know I am paying less for my beers?

We guarantee your money back if you buy any of the beers from our brewers and you disagree with the Craft Champion Price. We will give your money back.

How do I cancel?

Cancelling your Craft Champion is easy (although we’d rather you didn’t!).

You can cancel at any time by logging in, then selecting ‘My Account’, followed by ‘My Membership’.

Or send us an email at cheers@onlycraftbeer.com.au.

Either way, no penalty to cancel your account and any  savings you have on your account will be yours to purchase any beer. 

Is this a subscription?

A subscription refers to a very specific product and business model where customers pay a certain amount per month and a bottle shop (quite often) sends them regular shipments of beer.

Craft Champion is not a subscription.

Craft Champions save money in their Beer Account.

They can purchase any beer with that money as much or as little as they want.

They can choose on which beers to spend their money, only have beers delivered around Christmas or before their birthday or whenever.

Craft Champions will not receive any beer they haven't order.

Shouldn't I just buy direct from the brewery?

When buying from Only Craft Beer, you are ALWAYS buying direct from the brewery

But who wants to trawl the internet to find out which breweries have an online store, and how much they charge for delivery? Ain’t nobody got time for that.

That’s why you need a one stop shop like Only Craft Beer, where you can order from a range of breweries across the country - including breweries that don’t distribute to where you live - and have the beer delivered fresh direct from the brewery.

Can I find these beers at a traditional bottle shop?

Some of the beers are exclusively sold online through Only Craft Beer. 

You could find some of the beers or similar ones at traditional bottle shops or other online booze retailers, we are sure you will pay more for them

On top of that, those booze retailers, purchase stock from the breweries and store it until they can sell it.
