2023 MEMBERSHIP CLOSED

Dead Sparrow Society (DSS) is our chance to brew the beer we set out to when we originally started designing the brewery in 2015. Before Covid, before cans and distribution, before everything went nutty and pulled us away from those original intentions. This barrel project allows us the opportunity refocus as brewers, and double down on our instincts, letting intuition and experience guide our craft. 

DSS Members will receive 11 unique barrel-aged offerings, in 20 bottles across 3 formats — for a total of 380oz of beer — along with Member Exclusive black DSS t-shirt and stemmed Sahm Toscana glass. Members will also receive invites to special cask and draught tappings around DSS releases, the opportunity to purchase additional bottles and glasses, and a members only party towards the close of the first year. This year’s members will also receive priority in signing up for subsequent years.

FAQ

Q Are Proxies Allowed?
A Yes, Proxies are allowed - we will not ship any orders. Proxies must be at least 21+ years of age, and show proper identification at the time of pickup. All purchasers must be at least 21 years of age.

Q When will the beer be ready?
A We have begun filling barrels and expect the first bottles to be ready in early Autumn. Due to the nature of brewing and the barrel-aging process, we do not have an exact timeline for each product. Releases will be communicated with members as they become ready and we will store beer until it is able to be picked up. If you are using a proxy, we will group releases together and communicate pickup timeframes in advance.

Q Am I able to purchase more bottles?
A Yes! Most of our releases will have the opportunity for additional bottles.

Q Is this truly an exclusive program, or will you release bottles outside of membership?
A We want our society members to have the best possible experience, and are creating unique recipes and blends exclusive for our members only. We will only package the appropriate amount to meet member demand, and any excess will be vintaged, split or blended into future projects.

Q Will all of the beers be barrel-aged?
A Yes, all 11 beers will be barrel-aged, however some of the releases are aging in neutral barrels and will not contribute heavy wood, tannin or spirit profiles.

Q Are the beers being created suitable for cellar aging?
A Most of the beers are suitable for cellaring, however they will continue to evolve and develop over time.
