    We’re winding down on this year’s Bottle Friends! Are you planning to renew? Did you enjoy the more simplistic approach to the membership this year? What have been your favorite releases this year? Isn’t Fuerte Mañana g’damn delicious? What beers would you like to see come back? Will there be a GJG Day this year?

    Cheers to Bob and the crew! I hope for the best in the new year! And also bring back Cherry Spazz.

    Yes.

    Worked out well due to the pandemic.

    No.

    I will miss The Brunch, best intimate brewery event I've been too.

    Do people not think there will be a virtual GJG Day (variants available)? Would love for some crowler options but I can understand down-scaling due to circumstances. I'd guess there will at least be a few variants to grab like previous years though. Gimme that chile GJG.

    Happy New Years Frostman. I did enjoy delivery service from HpB in 2020. Moving forward in 2021.

    Signed up for the mailing/wait list, does that mean one would get the chance to signup for 2021?

    No brainer to renew.

    First year as a member so I have no basis for comparison, but I was quite happy with it. Communication was clear, there was a steady flow of releases without being overwhelming, and the prices are damn good.

    Fuerte Manana and BA More Maas are probably 1a and 1b for me. I just drank BA More Maas last night and hot damn, what a phenomenal beer. The coffee profile is outstanding and dovetailed so beautifully with the other adjuncts, great body without coming across as too sweet, just a total pleasure to sip over the course of a couple hours.

    See above. Definitely would like to see more Fuerte Manana in my life.

    Looking forward to the upcoming Griffith releases and whatever they have in store for 2021!

    I was hoping it would last until Friday so I could get the two new stouts dropped off with my order but they posted on IG that they're running low so guess that plan won't work! Ordered two 4-packs.

    Skipping both 3 Chiefs collabs. I thought No Rest was waaaay too thicc last year. The mouthfeel was like drinking a warm milk shake. Also not a huge fan of apple brandy barrels.

    Got a couple of Deepest Sleep; no adjuncts and Apple barrel got me intrigued.

    I ended up grabbing a couple more after already buying my member bottles. Will be cracking open a Deepest Sleep tonight.

    Let me know how you like it so I can flog myself for not buying any.

    An instant renewal of my membership for sure. Bummed I'll never know the wonders of the beer brunch. I did Dry January last year and was hoping this year's would've been on February but, you know, who could've seen a global pandemic coming?

    When do potential new memberships go out for those on the waitlist?

    Renewals for existing members haven't started yet, so probably not for a couple of weeks at least.
