Bottle Clubs Give Barrel-Aging Specialists a Chance in Business
For being 3,000 miles apart, Seattle’s Flood land Brewing and Odd Breed Wild Ales in South Florida have a surprising amount in common. Stacked full of oak casks, both resemble a winery more than a brewery. Their wort is also brewed offsite. And both breweries partially owe their existence to bottle clubs.
Unlike taproom releases, which are open to the public and often attract long lines, breweries with bottle clubs promise special releases to consumers who have purchased memberships. In Flood land’s Oakworks club, for example, a $200 yearlong membership includes 10 750-milliliter bottles and some exclusive extras, like access to limited releases and tasting tours.
