    What is anticipated from this "pick up" and "bottle share" if anyone knows? I'm thinking of coming in from Los Angeles to pick up my bottles myself (well, with my daughter and son-in-law who live in Denver and usually pick up for themselves and for me).

    I'm figuring that if there's going to be a bottle share in addition to the pick up I'd come in with some nice bottles to share and spend some time there.

    What can I anticipate? Thanks in advance.

    There is always a bottle share in the back and food truck as well. The frites truck will be there this weekend, so you know the lunch option will be good. Bring some glassware and some bottles to share an I promise you'll have a good time.

    Do they still have the reserve society and if they do are they taking new members?

    This release is related to the reserve society. Memberships will open up to new members later this year (Novemberish?), if there are slots available. Last year there was a lottery to join if you weren't a member the previous year.

    Like @Steve_0 said, around Nov. Haven't heard anything about them opening more slots this year. Last year they said they wanted to keep it near 500 but that obviously can change in a year. For a perspective on ease of joining, last year they held a lottery for around 100 open spots and had over 2500 entries.

    What's the process like for pick-ups after that date? I've never missed a pick-up date before, but I might not be around for this one. I'm guessing you can just swing by the cellar during normal hours, right?

    There are no regular hours at the cellar. They've been closed for the summer. You can send a message to the email address at the bottom of the last email and set a time up with Sarah. She's there some days. She's be incredibly helpful and accommodating for me when I didn't make the last pickup

    You can also set up a pick up at The Source. Did that with the June release and it was easy peasy. Lots of long hipster faces when Ben and I were taking dolly after dolly out to the car.

    You are correct. Forgot to mention that since I pick up a lot of beer that option didn't seem like it was as convenient for me or them.

    This was one of my favorite releases so far. Loved the glass wear and both the petite sours

    I was in Friday. They had a few batches of Vielle, Surette, the Dry Hopped Vielle, Summer St. Bretta, and quite a bit of the latest Origins batch still.

    One of my passion fruit petit gushed out a bit on opening, but not enough to really lose any beer.
