    This was my first year in casa and split it with a friend. We both have really enjoyed the casa club. We both belong to several different clubs. Casa's sours are some of the best around. Their IPAs I've bought have all been outstanding. I would not hesitate to join if anyone is on the fence.

    This was my first year in the club too. They are a great brewery and run a great club. I'm definitely coming back for next year!

    Definitely coming back, their sours are good, not my favorite but very worthwhile (personal preference). The main selling point is the IPA presale for members and holding them for a couple weeks. Customer service is great and love that they included more beer and no merch.

    Been a member since year one, haven't started getting bored yet. Would definitely recommend it.

    Im gonna have to keep an eye out , heard about CA earlier this year thanks to you guys , the proxy really has me interested as my brother just moved from San Pedro for a better job offer at the port to support his newborn. Turns out he lives on the next exit past CA! Double bonus on visiting the family now.

    I will be renewing as well. Great beer, laid back taproom and of course the presale IPA cans make it a no brainer for me. If I could add anything maybe there should be a few member only taps like the Bruery. I know there aren't too many taps, buy maybe once they expand the tasting room.

    Zero hesitation to renew and I don't even get the benefits of living close. Can't think of a beer that I've disliked yet. Was certain that I would not like El Rio Rye, but enjoyed it.

    Whale Pod shippers have also made shipping a cakewalk for the 12 allotted cans per release. That, and the fact that so many quality people who live nearby are so willing to help get you your beer.

    On top of all of that, Ryan's customer service is as good as anywhere I have seen. Top notch dude.

    If you're on the edge, make the jump. It's worth it.

    Founding member, re-upping for sure. No brainer imo.

    I saw in an earlier post what their member pick up window for IPA's is, but can anyone tell me what it is for bottles?

    Best place to find a proxy/trustee for this club? Interested in joining but want to be sure I can actually get the beers. PM if you can help a brother out.

    They have a private group on Facebook, you can often find someone willing to help you out on there.

    I'm in. Splitting it 50/50 with a friend. I've heard *nothing* but good things. Can't wait.

    What are the typical shipping costs with CASA? Are they flat shippers or volume based?

    They use GSO for bottles, I do not know what they will use for cans as they haven't figured it our yet, just that they are planning on doing it

    I believe shipping 12 bottles is $18 or 20.

    Just signed up!

    In-state shipping for bottles AND cans is what put me over the edge!

    For shipping within Ca, will GSO ship to your residence without a signature? Or would you be better off having it shipped to an access point?
