huh?

If I sign up this will be my fifth year (14,15,16,17,18)

D'oh. I've apparently exhausted my brainpower for today.

 

[howopeeps]

Thinking about rejoining this year. Looking for a new trustee that can pick up my bottles. The past two years have been shipping bottles to LA and having them sent to Ohio.

My buddy I was splitting the 2017 membership with wants to take over the entire thing next year. It looks like I can change name, address, password, userid, and credit card on file which seems to be pretty much everything. Is there any downside to doing it this way to pass along the membership?

Has anyone done the same in a previous year?

Yes, I took over a TRB membership after my buddy and I split it for one year. He wasn't interested in continuing so he gave it to me. I changed everything because it was so damn easy compared to some other memberships.

Edit: This was roughly 2 years ago

 

[coldstorage]

I have done Solo, Solo, Split, Split and the person I split with is done with TRB. Not sure if I am interested in taking it on solo again... but I guess decision time is upon me.

thanks for the datapoint. Glad to know he can keep the 3 year old account then and reap the renewal gift

 

[chemman141]

I really wish they would just offer the membership for $250 without the stupid credit. I have no desire for $50 in merchandise. I would consider renewing if that were the case.

You answered your question.

Sometimes you have to verbalize something before it makes sense.

cringeworthy, but this beer gonna be interesting

 

[bigstrunso]

It's pretty damn good imo. Had it on draft a couple weeks ago.


Grabbing the limit on this one.



Btw, anyone have any extra Hyper Paradise for trade? One of my new favs!

 

[HeadytheElder]

Anyone know if they have any other bottle releases aside from BBA Home, Sour Home planned for the rest of the year? I assume there will be something.

 

[bigstrunso]

Hoping the Peach beer that they had at their last shindig makes it to bottling.



Peach Within Reach or something like that............it definitely *****!

 

[danidavid]

Debating about enrolling in the membership program. I've read through the comments in this thread, but anything else I'm missing that I should know?

Would have to find a proxy (don't think that'd be too difficult) and whatnot but am a huge fan of what they're putting out. Also open to splitting if anyone else is on the fence with a full membership.

 

[HeadytheElder]

It is a pretty well-run club. Every time I've emailed them about an issue they have been super-responsive and helpful.

 

[wolfman1201]

New beer, but doesn't seem like it will be for sale online. Bummer. Sounds tasty.

 

[yabu]

If it's not available for members online... that would suck

 

[ABSTRACTlegend]

my guess is they see how many they have left after the party and go from there.

FWIW It goes to public sale after the party. I highly doubt members will be able to buy this online from reading the email they sent.

 

[HeadytheElder]

I just voiced my frustrations via email. They hyped this beer on facebook recently, but won't let members buy it online. Oh my jimmies!

Not even just that, they hyped it via a blog post email sent to members. That blog post actually got me pretty excited to get the beer. Now that excitement has been dashed. Needless to say I am extremely happy with my decision to drop them next year.

 

[chemman141]

Official response from TRB when I asked them if members would be sold any

"We are unsure. We don't anticipate selling this one online at this time but will determine if that makes sense if inventory remains on Monday. "

 

[sfsea]

I'm can grab a bottle or two this weekend for anyone feeling about this...
