“Throughout history, mankind has seen its share of elite, secret societies. The Knights Templar, The Illuminati, The Wu-Tang Clan, all have captured the public imagination, but none has managed to achieve the elegance, the panache, and the sheer, jaw-dropping badassery of The League Of Partygoers & Elegant People.” -L. Ron Hubbard

Originally created as a high-level reward for our 2013 Kickstarter campaign, The League of Partygoers and Elegant People (heretofore referred to as "The League") was a way for us to give a little love back to our supporters with exclusive early access to our barrel-aged and special release beers.

Now, after much toil & extensive whale breeding, we are finally able to reboot The League and open it up to a limited number of new members. We've got a ludicrous number of insanely rad beers in the pipeline, we've designed some terrifyingly sexy new League merchandise, and we've dreamed up some truly kick-ass events for our new members to enjoy. It's going to be a frickin' blast.

For their $350-plus-tax membership fee, the 400 new initiates of The League will be getting 10 extremely rare barrel-aged beers, first dibs on an extensive list of the bomb-diggityest of danksauce whales, exclusive growler fills, a saucy welcome party, advance tickets opportunities for Modern Times events, exclusive League merchandise, and much more. Memberships go on sale December 1st, 2015 at 10am. You can see the full details below—including the brain-melting beer list—and you can purchase your membership HERE.
