The developers behind Starbound the in-development 2D sandbox game have detailed how the beta will be released. This is after hitting a milestone of over two million dollars in pre-orders!
It will be done in 3 different stages and I have broken it down very simply for you.
Stage 1
-Could get multiple changes a day
-Characters may need constant wiping
-Very risky
Stage 2
-Mostly feature complete
-A good time to test a low spec PC to get the game optimized for it
-Main quest line won't be in
Stage 3
-Everyone should try it at least at stage 3 to give feedback before the final release

I am so excited for this game words cannot express.
One thing to note is the beta may be steam only, they stated on twitter this is because they can easily push updates constantly and quickly and state it would be a pain to do that using the Humble Store which is fair enough. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Personally I just don't really care, Steam works great for me it always has I am far more relaxed than most people about it.
I completely disagree that Steam itself is DRM it just isn't, To me it is no more DRM than logging into a gog account to have to download your games.
Like I said before Steamworks is DRM, Steam itself is not.

I am also not overly fond of using Steam if there's alternative and apparently beta will be available to non-Steam users. Quoting part of the Beta FAQ by Mollygos:
Steam keys will be sent out to all pre-order backers via e-mail! We promise a direct download version of the game will be provided as soon as we're able to efficiently provide it.
