It's their business, they can do what they wish, and I absolutely wish them nothing but the best of luck. But making beer "exclusive" doesn't sit right with me.
I joined because I enjoy their product and even though they have moved farther away, the perks seem to be worth the price.
I'm trying to understand this place... If I go there can I sit and have a beer? Or is it all bottle sales? Looks like a cool spot worth a summer afternoon drive. The boilerplate on their site mentions beers that can be aged from 5 to 50 years. I'm 50 now, and laughing thinking that my future grandkids would be saying "geez, grandpa died and left us these musty old bottles of beer". You're welcome, kids.

I was there last fall. I think I had a pils, IPA and maple pumpkin something that I did really enjoy. Good food, nice folks, decent patio. I think it was a car sales lot or something in a previous life, big and sprawling. Notably they do that Harvest Host thing where RVs can stay overnight free.
Hoping to make it there this Thursday, looking forward to it. Will report back here if there's interest.
this is the brewery that banned Trump voters, then reopened in the middle of Trump country. Great atmosphere if you can get by the ban.
