    It is both happening and not happening, it's Schrodinger's expansion.

    Noble is the definition of a boondoggle.

    Is this the first IPA only membership? Can't think of another where the member beers aren't stouts or sours

    I love naughty sauce and have been advocating for nitro cans for years, but $150 for four 4 packs of a 5% beer is a little much.

    And a shirt, which for some reason is not included at the $250 level!

    Maybe the membership fees will help out the extra cost for their expansion.

    This is absolutely laughable. Another reason for me to steer clear of this place.

    Screams of desperation IMO. Creating a club to sell a bunch of beers that Evan created years ago. Where's the recipe development and creativity? No wonder they never expanded.

    $400 for an IPA membership is laughable. From an outside perspective, this seems like an obvious attempt to earn some money quickly so they can finish their never ending expansion. This reeks of desperation, like bailing water out of a sinking boat.

    But hey, I Love It! is back...

    Ignoble members get to cut the toilet lines and not have to wait.

    David, they completely stole your brand name, you alone should get a lifetime membership for Nobles alone.

    I just left Noble... At this rate, I see no reason for expansion - it’s not like they were crowded or anything. I had a Nice Sauce (that’s the best name you could come up with? How about Santa’s Sauce? Hehe) which was Naughty with Gingerbread and Xmas spices. It was good, but that coffee pow! is no longer there. Maybe they got cheap and dont use as much, or switched to Del Taco coffee or something. I dunno). I also for the first time had an I Love It! It was very good and super citrusy.

    I’ll continue to go every now and then, but like your high school sweetheart, those early days of Noble are gone.

    I’d still have to pass. I stop in once maybe twice a year when I’m there for a concert or game. I mean these guys aren’t off the radar, yet. There’s so much more out there that I’d rather be drinking before Nobles. What couple of 3+ years run they had.

    As someone who is there before almost every home Ducks game, they need the expansion so badly... They are still successfully the Ducks meet-up spot, and I believe the same is true for home Angels games. I could see them having a lot of success as a "sports bar that brews its own beer" kind of thing.
