    If I lived closer, I'd be all over it.

    Would love to know how many people signed up again. I believe they only had 175 in year 1. The releases have been great, although there is only 2 months left in the year and they still have half the bottles to go. Hopefully the spacing is a bit better next year.

    I also wonder if they increased membership for this year. I've been really happy with it and renewed mine. Looking forward to the remaining bottles!

    Isn’t it Wild Mind Artisan Ales? Man they have a hard name.

    At least he didn’t pluralize “Mind”.

    I was on the wait list... once they found out how many members were not returning, they opened it up the wait list. I had 2 days to decide and it would move down the line. My assumption is they haven't increased but haven't filled all the returning spots. I live close and love to support them. But my buddy did the math, he goes there every Monday to fill his growlers with the discount, even with the bottles priced where they are, he'll never break even.

    And I've tried the bottles, and they are damn good. but they are NOT worth that price regardless if you want to support the local scene or not.

    Just my 2 cents. Take your money and go stock up with Cuvee de Jacobins!

    They had 300 spots in year 1 and only filled the 175. I don't think theyll hit much more than that at $300 a pop. I'm renewing because I think it's only going to get better. Still a relatively young brewery at 2 years, but they get a lot of positive press.

    I have only had one of their beers (Viking Hammer) that I could give above 4 on BA. Far overrated on the MN scale.

    I think they should go ahead, and change their name to Wild Minds Artisinal Ales.
