2018 Beer Club Renewals

You'll be glad you did - I was really happy with everything I got from them but ended up not renewing last year because I wanted to try Cellador. Apparently, Libertine has some quality control issues, but I didn't experience any of that first hand.

 

they are distro'ing more to LA
i have a ton of friends in the membership and each member release they can get extras on
I have a few other sour memberships, so I needed to prioritize

its a great society with great beer and you should 100% split with your buddy! all the beers are great, specially if you love pastry sours.

 

dropped Bruery reserve.
Upgraded to Theory of leisure committee

 

Fair enough. I love their sour stouts/porters and the true BA sours they do; not a fan of the non-sours or kettles, so luckily the membership trends towards the latter. Their new location is worth a visit if you're nearby, and if it really ends up being terrible then Indie is right across the street to wash the taste out.

Moving up to Theory of Leisure. That is all.

 

Anyone get a screenshot of the details on the Lost Abbey Sinner's Club (they took it down from their website) or information on it other than whats posted on their Instagram? Also, does anyone know how the beers will be released (ex. quarterly)? Thanks

 

Didn't save the details, but I did sign-up.
It will be first first beer club, but I'm splitting it.

Also going solo on a bruery reserve stout membership.

 

I opted in for Lost Abbey membership. First club. Pretty stoked.

I joined up this year after skipping last year. So far the customer service has been head and shoulders above when I was last a member... mainly that they returned two of my emails within a reasonable amount of time!

I have to ask..is Casa Agria worth it coming from San Diego?

I was in the (MT) League for this past year, but found myself burning out on their BA stouts.

I wouldn't mind driving up to Casa, but are their beers (including canned IPAs) worth it? I know they allow shipping, but for some reason, I dont like that idea.. and would rather drive

 

I live 25 mins from casa, I love their beers but wouldn’t drive 4 hours to get them. I wouldn’t make monthly trips for their ipas even though they are great, but there also isn’t any beer I would drive 4 hours for, but that’s just me.
