El Catador Club - Round 4

You know you could just keep the membership yourself and put him as the trustee?

 

won lottery, just purchased membership and locked down a trustee.

 

Rejection emails just went out.

 

Dear John emails are in


Good Afternoon,


Unfortunately, you have not been selected in this edition’s lottery. Don’t fret, every edition that you are not selected in the lottery, you receive a weighted value that gives you a greater chance at being selected in the next edition.

If you were not selected in this edition's lottery, please continue to check your email for club updates. If there are openings available after Friday, we will conduct another lottery.


We truly appreciate your interest!

I got rejected *sigh* At least it's National Fried Chicken Day! Publix Chicken Tender Sub here I come!

 

I'm curious if any of the people selected will just end up not paying. I can't imagine anyone would, and if so I think it will most likely be a very small number. On to round 5 for me....

 

First time trying to get in, and... Denied! Do I have to wait until next year to try, or is it a quarterly club. I think I've read conflicting info.

(Total newbs over here BTW)

 

it's whenever the 5 bottles are released, could be a month, could be a year, could be longer or shorter...

 

How does it work with setting a trustee?

 

Thanks, I have one, just didn't see the spot for setting one.

 

New El Cat member through the lottery! Can't wait for that DB Huna!

 

Still confused by this post. Who's being penalized? Why couldn't your buddy renew his membership?
Did he miss the 10,000 email reminders?!

 

On your account page, there is a line to add the trustee's email address. They must have a registered account at CCB Store online, and have selected the "I would like to be a trustee" checkbox.

 

did they state somewhere that DB Huna will be available to members? I believe it has been in the past but everything I've seen says they make no promises as to what will be available.

 

Haha, no, just being optimistic.

 

Aside from the 5 BA bottles, what other bottles were offered for purchase in the past? Are they able to be purchased online, or is it on site only?

 

No extra bottles were offered in round 3, round 1 & 2 there were

 

Extra bottles originally were done lottery style but the past 2 editions they've been available upon sign up for the next edition. Rd 3 was da un beso and this rd it was Hapax legomenon. They were option at additional cost and first come first serve. Ordered online and pickup at brewery along with the other 5 bottles, anytime before end of club. But there is no guarentee that there will be additional bottles. In rd 3 they had their first onsite party/bottle share for a first come first serve ticket purchase. So they are still adding/trying different stuff. So who knows.

 

Trousseau appears to be on tap at the tasting room right now.

 

Except for hapax? Am I right?

 

Finally get to join the El cat club! Been a huge fan of CCB since getting into craft beer. Plus figure its a good excuse to plan a quick vacation to Tampa to pick up my bottles and check out what else new has popped up over the last 3 years since I was down there. Cheers all.

 

Oh yeah forgot about that

 

Glass is gorgeous and I can't wait to crack into one of these bottles of Trousseau

 

Beso was also offered as an extra at the beginning of the 3rd rd.

 

Geez im terrible lol

 

Is there still an El Catador Club section in the CCB store anymore? It's not showing when I log into the store as it did before.

 

www.elcatadorclub.com right?

 

Just tried one of my Trousseau bottles, very tasty indeed. Nice Madeira Barrel-aged Barley Wine , but I think the Angry Chair barrel aged Barley wine is better. But I like thick, sweet things.

 

Did you pay for your renewal before June 30?

 

I don't see an El Cat section either. But in my order history it has a record of my renewal transaction. And I also have an order ready for pickup that has the glass, card, and 2 bottles of Trousseau.

 

They probably did away with the El Cat section, I dont see it either.

 

Log in and then go to My Account/Reorder and all the El Cat stuff is there

 

We are referring to the section where you could buy the extra El Cat stuff such as glassware and extra bottles when available

 

They may not have any product in that section right now so the section does not appear.

 

Ok thx for the replies. I definitely renewed and have received my confirmation emails for pickup. Just wasn't sure if I was doing something wrong or if the section just isn't in the store. From the replies it seems that the section just isn't there.

 

Can you guys tell me what the confirmation email after purchase looks like? I purchased it on 7/7 but got an email today saying that I needed to purchase it by tonight or I forfeit my spot. So now I'm thinking it didn't go through

 

I continued to get the reminder email after I signed up. You should be fine. Check your cc statement. If you got the charge you are good to go.

 

Trouseau is very meh... Very easy drinking, especially for a bw, which is not my thing. There is almost no barrel though and the port flavor is very light in flavor but strong in the nose.

 

its not port aged....

 

Port and madiera are pretty much the same thing.
