When should I expect each drop?
We’ll publish an expected release calendar in January 2025 and communicate release dates via email, listed on the member page, and the Club Facebook group. Please ensure our email address (brewmasterscollective@firestonewalker.com) is added to your address book to stay current on all the most current information and dates.
What if I can’t pick up my beer within the three-week window?
We ask that you email us at brewmasterscollective@firestonewalker.com if you need to arrange for a delayed pick-up. Any drops (that have not been arranged otherwise) left after the three-week pickup window will be subject to a $30 handling charge plus shipping.
How and when do I get access to library beers?
Library and previous club-exclusive beers will be available for limited times throughout the year. Selections will rotate regularly, and will be communicated via email to club members. Some limits and exclusions do apply.
Are new beers exclusive to club members?
Newly released black-label Brewmaster’s Collective beers will be exclusively available to members for 90 days after release (excluding Propagator beers). After that period, the beers will be available to the public in our stores and online, within a 5-pack box containing each beer from the collection. Only members will be able to purchase black-label beers individually outside of the prescribed boxes.
Which Shipping Carriers do you use?
We currently ship with UPS to all eligible states.
How much does membership cost?
Annual memberships are $399 plus tax for the entire year’s program, or you can opt for the recurring payment plan for five payments of $85 (total of $425). Shipping is not included and is an additional charge, or members can opt for free onsite pick-up at one of our three locations.
Gift Memberships
Gifted memberships can be purchased for other adults over the age of 21, if being shipped to one of the following states: CA, DC, KY, NE, NH, ND, PA, VT, or VA.

The membership cannot be transferred to another account at any other time.
Credit Card Defaults
If you’ve opted for the Recurring Payments option and your card is declined for any reason, you’ll be notified of the default. A two-week grace period will be given to complete payment. If payment is not received within two weeks, your membership will be canceled and benefits revoked.
