Crooked Stave Cellar Reserve

Renewed already, one of the best decisions I made last year.

 

Renewing! It has been superb this last year. Well worth it.

 

I will be renewing as well. Love everything I have had from so far. Chad is awesome!

 

I am right there with you. Didn't think they had quite proved themselves, but I think I am definitely in this year.

 

Same boat here. 100% in this year and I'll likely be trustee for a couple of long-term trade partners, too.

Looking forward to hanging out with all of you guys at the Reserve Society events and supporting the awesome crew at Crooked Stave.

 

Thinking I might pull the trigger on this, too. Their recent stuff has been way too good.

 

I wish I had an extra $300 to spend on this.

 

Not renewing this year. Although I loved a lot of the beer, the members didn't get all THAT much more than what is (and will be) available at their taproom to the general public . Don't get me wrong, I loved their Persica and Blackberry Petite, but I really feel like I didn't get my $300 worth. Hopefully Chad will make up for the two month period at the beginning of the year where we didn't get anything in November and December. I'm taking my money to the Bruery for membership next year.

 

Happy to take your spot kiki3drt292

 

I joined and will also be trusteeing for a new member from Texas.

 

Hopefully I get in this year and my brother will be my trustee.

 

Sign-up for new members is up. I just joined! So pumped. No trustee yet, but at least makes me have to figure out a GABF trip next year!

 

Just locked ours down for me and a few buddies! Can't wait to see what Chad has in store this year.

 

What are the allocations like? How many bottles are typically available?

 

I'm also in. Missed out last year.

 

$300 for 10 bottles, exclusive events, and 15% off at the tap room... I'm really not trying to be rude here but am I missing something? I've never had a bottle of beer worth $30, that includes plenty of Crooked Stave. Maybe this deal just isn't for me and that's fine; I just want to make sure I'm not missing a huge detail.

 

Joined. Btw, 30 bucks to me might not be the same as 30 bucks for you. Hell, the Lost Abbey thing was sounding appealing to me as ludicrously priced as it was.

 

With as much as I've spent on CS bottles and at the tap room in the last six months, it would've more than paid for itself if I had done it. You get 15% off of tap beers AND additional bottle purchases, so it adds up quickly.

Like you said, it might not be for everyone. In retrospect, it would've been for me last year and it WILL be for me this year!!

 

The 15% discount will make up a decent chunk of that cost for me, as I'll be spending a lot of time in the tap room and buying some bottles. But even if I don't necessarily get the full value of the $300, I am happy to help CS grow and expand. He's doing great stuff. And getting more than a 1oz GABF pour of Persica is worth a lot to me, that beer is fantasttic.
