Full-Time Friends
— 2025 Full-Time Friends memberships are CLOSED —
Enrollment for Social Club Memberships opens annually on Black Friday.
Our beers are only as good as the people with whom we share them. We are especially grateful for our Full-Time Friends, and their support of our team and small business. We always say it, but our Social Club is the lifeblood of this brewery and we truly enjoy every oversized pint shared with our inner-circle.
Per tradition, open enrollment for next year's Social Club begins the day after Thanksgiving. Scroll down to learn more about joining the 2025 Full-Time Friends Social Club:
Bonus Beers & Cheers
Since 2017, we've offered annual enrollment in the Full-Time Friends Social Club. In addition to oversized beers & cheers, benefits include early access to select recipes and VIP experience opportunities, available exclusively for FTF's.
And, there are plenty of daily benefits that can always be enjoyed — including upsized pours, discounted merch, specials on takeaway beer, and online coupons. Every membership also comes with exclusive merch!
More Than A Mug Club
In addition to oversized pints, daily discounts, and behind-the-brites access...in 2025, Social Club members will help create an FTF-inspired recipe & can release...and you will have access to four invite-only VIP Experiences (one included soft opening "First Look" in Yorktown, and three a la carte ticketed events for those who are interested in even more beers & cheers with VBC)!
Our goal is to keep the Full-Time Friends Social Club affordable, approachable, and fun...so in 2025 we're extending benefits to apply to both our Williamsburg taproom and our upcoming Yorktown brewpub (targeted Spring '25 opening)!
