ALL ABOUT EVENTS
In our second edition of the "Collective Bulletin," we'll cover everyone's favorite topic: events! We're hosting more events than ever during the 2023 season, so strap in, crack a beer and keep reading for everything you need to know to make the most out of this year's event opportunities.
In-person club member activities fall into three main categories in 2023 – keep reading for essential details on each. Members will receive an email before each event with further specifics; you can add this email address as a VIP address in your phone to receive automatic notifications so you don't miss a beat.

Collection tastings will take place the first Saturday following a Collection drop at each of our three locations– that makes for four total in 2023, one per quarter.
To allow members the opportunity to share their visit with friends and family, these events will be a casual setting on our Taproom patios with live entertainment, where members can have a complimentary taste of the collection releases.
We encourage both pick-up members or members who ship to stop by one of our locations on these days so you can try these beers before opening your bottles, and to purchase additional onsite. |

Parabola Collection Tasting: Saturday, February 18
Dates for the remaining tastings will be published quarterly, here, at minimum one month prior to event date. |

Members are welcome to join us at any of our three locations for Collection tastings. For those picking up their beer drops, note that your beer will only be available at your designated pick-up location ( unless otherwise arranged). |

Collection flights will be available between 11 am and 3 pm on the designated tasting day. Live entertainment will be within this time as well. We encourage members to stop by at any time. |

Members will receive a ticket to redeem two complimentary collection flights, one for them and one for a guest, plus a small bite. Tasting notes will also be provided, along with onsite Brewer Experts to answer questions. Additional collection flights will be available to purchase. |

Members can bring as many guests as they'd like on these days and will receive 15% off dining for up to 4 total guests. Additional guests may purchase Collection Flights onsite. |

Members will have the opportunity to purchase additional bottles of each of these beers onsite. If you intend to purchase more than 6 bottles of one of these beers, please give us a heads up, so we can ensure availability. |

Want to make a weekend of it? We've worked with some of our favorite local hotels to be able to offer our members discounts on event days. Booking details can be found here, and are subject to availability. We recommend booking early, as some rooms must be booked well in advance to secure the discounted rate. |

This year we'll be hosting three ticketed events to dive deeper into our collection releases. Each event will focus on a specific topic so members can continue to deepen their understanding and appreciation for these artisan creations that Brewmaster Matt and his team put together. |
