Membership Overview
What’s included with my membership?
As a member of the Brewmaster’s Collective, you’ll receive five total packages (“drops”) throughout the year:
Welcome Kit
Your membership starts with a kit that includes your member card, a 12-oz bottle of Collective Choice Batch #5, and exclusive member merchandise.
Four Quarterly Collections
Each collection features four 12-oz barrel-aged beers and one 375-ml or 16-oz Barrelworks beer, plus a 4-pack of fresh, non-barrel-aged beer from the Propagator.
Each collection is paired with an in-person Collection Tasting at our Paso Robles, Buellton, and Venice locations (Venice will also host on Sunday of the same weekend).

View our step-by-step guide here. All updates must be made before the order date. Any changes made afterward will apply to the next shipment.
Collections & Tastings
When and what are the Collection Tastings?
We host four Collection Tastings each year — one for each release — on select Saturdays (Venice also hosts Sundays). Each location typically offers two seating times per day.
Expected event dates will be published at the start of 2026. Members will receive RSVP links 1–2 weeks before each event.
-
RSVPs are required to guarantee a seat
-
Walk-ins are welcome, but seating may require a wait
-
Each member receives two complimentary Collection Flights to sample the five release beers
-
Additional flights will be available for purchase
When should I expect each drop?
A full release calendar will be shared by January 2026. Updates and reminders will be sent via email, posted on the Member Page, and shared in the Club Facebook group.
Add BrewmastersCollective@FirestoneWalker.com to your address book to stay informed.
What if I can’t pick up my beer during the three-week window?
Email BrewmastersCollective@FirestoneWalker.com to arrange a delayed pickup.
Unless otherwise arranged, any collection not picked up within three weeks may be automatically shipped to the address on file, and shipping fees will apply. In the event we cannot secure shipping payment, the order will remain open, but the inventory of items may no longer be guaranteed.
Beer Access & Benefits
How and when do I get access to library beers?
Library and past club beers are available:
-
In-store at any of our three locations
-
On-site during Collection Tastings and select ticketed events
-
Online during a two-week ordering window each quarter (boxes ship after the window closes)
Are new beers exclusive to members?
Yes — newly released black-label Brewmaster’s Collective beers are member-exclusive for 90 days after release (excluding Propagator and Barrelworks beers). After that, they may be offered to the public.
What shipping carrier do you use?
All orders are shipped via UPS to eligible states. An adult 21 or older must be present to sign for the delivery.
Many members find it most convenient to ship to a UPS Access Point for pickup at their convenience.
Packages returned as undeliverable will incur additional shipping fees to resend or will be forfeited.
Credit Card Defaults
If a recurring payment is declined, your card will automatically retry up to six times. If payment still fails, your membership will be cancelled and all benefits revoked.
Can I join at any time?
Enrollment for the 2026 Brewmaster’s Collective is open through December 31, 2025, or until capacity is reached.
Events & Perks
Will there be member events?
Yes. Each quarter, we’ll host Collection Tastings and a ticketed event at one of our three locations. Details will be shared via email.
