Membership Renewal Season

I’ll sign up for this Russian River membership, no way will I get in.

Your card has been charged. Mother fuck.

Oh well I live close by and can trade imperial dark sours for fruited ipas.

They send out a welcome email to all members, listing every single fucking address.

And the first reply is reply all.

fucking 2020
Want to split? I didn’t get in.
 
How disappointed will that person be?

Can you ear mark this person's name to see updates on his attitude towards the club as it goes on?

Have they made any announcement as to what the club beers will be? I was thinking, the club beers will be 2013-style wilds and new West Coast IPAs. Good beers, to be sure, but assuredly more "old money" that basically any other club out there.
 
It's that time of year again. What's everyone doing for 2022?

Hello - Barreled Souls
Goodbye - Garagiste
Keeping on - Modern Times (although was tempted to ditch it after a somwhat lacklustre year), Private Press (easy decision), De Garde, Casey
I have no idea what's going on - Barclay
Sort of considered it but didn't in the end - Prolyfk

Pips renewed in June. It’s the only one I pay to maintain, but the fee is nominal. Schramm’s and Eden are lifetime so no need to fuss for me, though my Eden mix has swung wildly toward the natty ciders
 
What has been the general feedback on the RRBC club beers? You seemed pretty happy early in the year.

It has been worth it. Two releases, spring and fall, with 12 genie bottles each release. There has been one dud, port aged porter, but the rest have been average to great. Highlights are the cuvees and the recent blueberry and kriek. Vinnie is trying different stuff with pilot system, they host virtual tastings, early access to Pliny the Youger, and hope for more as the covid ebbs and flows. Wood bang again.
 
Continuing: pips, bruery, Pye road
New: private press, barclay, adesanya, Tommie Sjef, second city
Goodbye: boneflower, 4 fires, maniacal, alesmith
Undecided: garagiste

Keeping: Wren House

Goodbye: Adesanya, Second City
Oh and I kept Garagiste last time and am again this time.
Pretty sure I'm adding nothing this time. Keeping everything else I didn't drop last year.
