EXPERIENCE
Anyone can brew a beer, but the Crusaders Club gives you a front-row seat to our 500+ brew journey, where each month’s tasting box is another leap toward perfection.
We’re guided by the Order, an ancient fellowship of malt-obsessed fanatics who tinker away in hidden labs, testing barley strains, refining methods, and hunting that elusive, mind-blowing flavor profile. By joining in, you’re not just tasting—you’re helping shape the next era of fine ales, so rare and refined they practically come with an NDA.

This ever-evolving Grand Cru Ale White unfolds in layers, offering delicate floral notes of elderflower and chamomile, yet hinting at citrus zest and white pepper. First, crisp pear and green apple, then honeyed apricot and a whisper of spice.

QUESTIONS?
How often do I get new GCAs?
Every month, we send you two unreleased Grand Cru Ales. Each delivery features new flavors, fresh from our secret lab. You’ll always have something unique to discover.
Can I pause or skip a month?
Absolutely. Manage your membership with your account representative. We believe in flexible obsession.
Do these GCAs need special storage?
Store them upright in a cool, dark place, just like fine wine. This preserves the integrity of the bottle conditioning. A bit of care ensures every sip is perfection.
Can I reorder my favorite batch?
It depends on availability. Once a particular batch is gone, it’s truly gone. Part of the allure is the rarity.
