Ladies and gentlemen, Sarah and I are very proud to offer our new mug-club style membership program for 2015. We want to offer an inexpensive way for our regulars and fans to be more involved and get some perks for themselves (and get great savings!). We also think this program will make a fantastic gift for your favorite FFBC fan. Here are the details:
Gold Club Membership - $45
A basic membership, as the name alludes to, allows the member to drink out of a specially-made, gold-rimmed glass any time they are at the Former Future Taproom.
Then, at the end of 2015 you also get to take one of these glasses home with you.
However, the big value in this membership, in my opinion, is that any full pour while you are at FFBC is $1 off!
That means $3 Countinghouse Cream Ales year-round, $4 Prim and Porters. Of course it also applies to our high gravity offerings such at Putin on the Fritz, or our various wild and sour beers... EVERYTHING ON TAP is $1 off for a full pour. Do the math on this: $45 = $1 off each beer for a year. Take advantage of this deal and you can easily wind up ahead on your money by early spring!
If that isn't enough - you also get to purchase all of our bottle releases 24 hours early. This includes beers produced by our GABF medal-winning program Black Project Spontaneous Ales.
Golden Key - $35
As an add-on to your membership for the more adventurous, we are offering Golden Keys that unlock a secret tap in our bar. Our bartenders won't even have a key, so you'll have to hand over your key if you want to buy the beer on the secret tap. They'll use it to unlock the tap and pour your beer, then re-lock it to insure that only key-holders will get to taste those beers. If you read my recent post about our Pilot Series and your mouth started watering - you should consider becoming a key-holding Gold Club member.
The beer that we keep behind lock and key with be similar to the Pilot Series, but typically will be beers that are more rare or take a lot more time, effort, and resources to make - oak aged beers, sour ales, very high gravity beer, etc.
Gold Club T-Shirt - $20
If you are a Gold Club member, we are also offering the option (because not everyone wants a t-shirt, so it makes the membership a better value) to get a special members-only tee. Custom-designed and locally printed, these shirts will be great to show people that you are a supporter of FFBC.
Buy All Three - $90
For a limited time, buy a membership, key, and t-shirt for only $90 (savings of $10).
