    Alright, looks like they are adding a new level for those who missed out on the founders club. Figured it was time to start a thread about them as a result.

    They even did the math for us:

    PUNTERS CLUB MATH
    Are you thinking, "$449 bucks for a club membership?" Hang in there while we do some math:

    A pint at MacLeod costs $7 each. Let's say you come in once a week and have 2 pints:

    $7 x 2 pints = $14

    And now let's say you come in once each week during the year:

    $14 x 52 weeks = $728

    If you consume 2 pints a week, you are spending $728 each year on beer at MacLeod Ale. But, if you become a member of the Punters Club, for $449 you can come in as often as you want, and have as many pints as you'd like as long as you bring in your Punters Club Pint Pot!

    The savings only increases the more you come in. For instance, if you average three pints each week:

    $7 x 3 pints = $21 x 52 weeks = $1,092!

    Or how about you come in twice a week and have two pints each time:

    $7 x 2 pints = $14 x 2 visits per week = $28 x 52 weeks = $1,456!

    Any way you do the math, the Punters Club is offering you a HUGE savings!

    I like the idea, if only I lived closer.

    ^same. I may not even like all their beers, but it's a solid business model that if I had lived closer, I would more than likely jump on.

    Man, you have really got to like English style beers to commit to anything here. I can't even get to 3 pints per year still

    Well, I guess there are worse beers to drink while eating food.
