This Quarter's Beers
Kentucky Cousin
Bourbon barrel-aged ale with cherries, black tea, lemon zest, and mint Nothing gets inspiration flowing like a unique flavor— and afternoon cocktails with friends. The unexpected addition of black tea in the Kentucky Cousin cocktail is what inspired this bourbon-barrel aged ale. We treated it with cherries, black tea, lemon zest, and mint, building an aroma reminiscent of freshly-muddled ingredients. Pair with a crisp autumn afternoon and enjoy! 750-ml. Bottle Access Level: Hoarders, Reserve, Preservation
Spontanaheim (2021)
Spontaneously fermented sour blonde ale aged in oak barrels We’re proud to present Spontanaheim, an homage to tradition and a testament to our team’s dedication to the craft. This beer was brewed using traditional Belgian methods of turbid mashing and spontaneously fermented with the wild winds of Anaheim. After 18-24 months of aging in our oak puncheons, we tasted and hand-selected our favorite barrels, which were then masterfully blended to taste. Funky, complex, tart, and crisp. 750-ml. Bottle Access Level: Hoarders, Reserve, Preservation, Public
BirneSnap
Bourbon barrel-aged wheatwine-style ale fermented with pear, ginger, and lemon Awww, snap, those Bruery folks are at it again! It goes without saying that our Bruers have a “birneing” passion for alternative ingredients, fresh sources of fermentable sugars, and of course, unique barrels. BirneSnap is an elevated version of a returning concoction. This experimentation in fermentation is a co-fermentation of wheatwine-style ale and pear that was then aged in bourbon barrels and treated with lemon and ginger. This wheatwine-style ale was inspired by a love for highly enjoyable, fruit-muddled fusion cocktails. 750-ml. Bottle Access Level: Hoarders, Reserve
Double Chocolate Sprinkles (2022)
Bourbon barrel-aged imperial stout with sprinkles, cacao nibs, vanilla beans, and milk sugar Happy birthday, congratulations, you did it! Whatever you’re celebrating, this imperial stout is perfect for the occasion. Starting with our delicious bourbon barrel-aged imperial stout, we added chocolate nibs, sprinkles, milk sugar, and vanilla beans for the perfect blend of festive flavors. Blow out your candles, take a sip, and enjoy! 750-ml. Bottle Access Level: Hoarders, Reserve, Preservation

This place is a must stop for any lover of beer. I recently became a preservation soscirty member, to get my feet wet in the Bruery pool, and I'm already regretting not going bigger. I'm in love with this place. Went out of my way to stop in on the way from SLO to San Diego.

Let us lay out the FAQs
Do my included beers ship automatically?
Due to the regulatory nature of shipping alcohol, someone 21 years or older must be available to receive and sign for your beer package. To ensure all shipments work with your schedule, we place included beers, including Preservation Society boxes, into your cellar for you to ship when you’re ready.
Which membership do I choose?
BARREL-AGED VS. MIXED
We make a LOT of beer, and we want to make sure you’re getting access to your favorites! If you prefer to stick to barrel-aged stouts, barleywines, ales, and the like, Barrel-Aged is for you. If you’d like some tart and funky options mixed in with the barrel-aged stuff, choose Mixed.
What if I want more? Your choice of Barrel-Aged or Mixed only determines your included beer (1 bottle per month for Reserve Society, up to 2 bottles per month for Hoarders Society). You still have access to purchase additional bottles from that month’s releases, from which you can get whatever sounds best!
How do I get my beer?
There are many ways to get your beer. Each month, when the new releases are ready, they will be added to your virtual cellar within your account at thebruery.com.
Selecting your beer(s) for fulfillment via Pickup or Shipping is easy. Navigate to your account, then to your cellar and place any cellared items in your cart. From there, proceed through checkout and select your preferred fulfillment option.

How does shipping work?

Please note that a signature from someone 21 years or older is required for shipments of alcohol.
Can I change my membership mid-year?
Simply put, no. We'd love to accommodate; however, due to the limited nature of these beers, we are unable to change your preference type for included bottles in the middle of the year. That being said, most beers are available to purchase even if they're not included in your membership.
Can a friend pick up my beer for me?
Absolutely! All you need to do is include their name in the email you send to society@thebruery.com, otherwise you can list them in the order notes field while placing an order on the online store.
Are event tickets included with my membership?
What are guest access cards?
Guest access cards grant the holder the same privileges as a member in our Tasting Rooms and the Washington D.C. store. That means whoever has your guest access card will receive your member discount along with member access. Hoarders receive 2 guest access cards, while Reserve members receive 1.
When are included beers released?
We plan to release one included bottle per month, at minimum. You can check which bottles are included and when by logging into your account clicking on the "included" tab.
Your included bottles will automatically populate in your cellar as soon as they are available to you. To view your cellar, just log in to your account, and click on "my cellar" to see which beers are available to ship or pick up.
What are allocations?
Each month we release a flurry of new beers, with members always getting first dibs. Your allocations are just the number of bottles or cans allocated to you as a member to purchase. Until it's sold out, you have the access to buy the allocated number of each beer, throughout the month. These beers are typically Society-exclusive releases, member-only presales on limited distribution beers, special archives pulled out from our cellar, or first access on returning favorites.
If I was previously a Preservation Society member, will my membership automatically cancel?
No, you will need to cancel your Preservation Society membership when you join the Reserve Society— unless you’d like to keep both memberships (many members do this so you get discounted access to the quarterly packs in addition to your included & society-specific monthly releases!)
