Enrollment open for Firestone Walker’s 2023 Brewmaster’s Collective Beer Club
There are beer clubs, and then there is Firestone Walker Brewing’s Brewmaster’s Collective club that stands up as one of the top subscription models of rare and reserve beers and exclusive deals that can be found. The annual membership includes VIP access to the brewery and taprooms as well as the FW Invitational brewfest, and other exclusive events. Monthly boxes can be shipped to homes in select states, and always include custom collectibles and even specialty food pairings like Firestone Walker cheese or truffles, each with tasting/pairing notes with individual beers and virtual tastings, even a Brewmaster’s Collective only forum.
Firestone Walker only takes a limited amount of members annually, and the 2023 edition of its Brewmaster’s Collective beer club enrollment is now open through December 31st, 2022 or when it sells out. The upcoming year will be introducing a variety of new benefits and small-batch exclusives including a throwback allocation of the brewery’s iconic Pale 31.
“It took us 25 years to launch our first beer club, and now we can’t imagine life without it,” said Brewmaster Matt Brynildson. “It is not only enabling us to create some really interesting beers—it’s also fostering a deeper personal connection with our most passionate fans.”
EXCLUSIVE BEERS & BENEFITS
In all, the 2023 Brewmaster’s Collective will span four seasonal collections totaling 25 beers, including 16 member exclusives as well as curated merchandise and pairings. Each collection will feature five barrel-aged beers, supplemented separately by Propagator small-batch beers on a quarterly basis.
