    3 levels, $500, $1000, $2000. You get a gift card for th elevel you purchase as well as the ability to reserve beers and access to a (or some) club only beers. Can keep beers for a year, doesn't say if you can use a proxy. Anyone joining?

    From the "Terms and Conditions" page:

    "8. Tired Hands reserves the right to change the terms and conditions of membership at any time."

    Exercise caution, all, before deciding to join...

    Already started a thread on this. With the $500 membership purchase you get a $500 gift card for beer.

    Tier 1 is $500. But I signed up, and you have the $500 giftcard which is alot like prepaying the bottles for the membership time (I guess). Probably better people to explain this.

    I'd do it but don't want to drop $500.

    I think it would be worth it it gave you line-free access to all bottle releases, but it sounds like it only guarantees one bottle release per year.

    "-The ability to reserve any bottle we release via thbcbc.com for 1 year. No lines for you, buddy!"

    If they don't release all of their bottle releases through the site now no one will sign up for this next year at all.

    Signed up for Tier 2. I probably spend $1K there on food and drinks every 3-4 months. This is a killer deal for me and anyone who is local and enjoys TH.

    Be sure to review this here: https://thbcbc.com/faq

    This is a VERY typical disclaimer of any membership.

    I'm confused on this as well, are there going to be Believer's Club only bottle releases and then the regular brewery bottle releases that they've always been doing?

    Oh, I know that. Most places, though, don't actually change the terms and conditions at any time...

    Does Tired Hands? I feel like you have more information from past experience...

    My understanding is that you can reserve your allocation for ALL of the releases so you won't have to stand in line. IN ADDITION, you will get reservation of Believer's Club only bottles, something the non-members won't have access to and there won't be a public release.

    I think this is a one time deal. They did it right before the opened the original place. They are doing it again for last minute cash to open up the new place. This isn't an annual membership.

    I was wondering the same thing but the 3 year option means they have to run the program for at least 3 years... Makes sense to allow people to renew after a year.

    From the FAQ:

    (Bottle) Reservations will be available only for bottles released at the new facility, since we are unable to accommodate the Believer's Club at our current production levels. Membership will begin with the first bottle release held at the (new location).

    Looks like the line jumping aspect of the membership won't go into effect until Spring 2015 at the earliest. And it also sounds like bottle counts will be going up significantly at that point.
