(Placentia, CA) The Bruery just sent out a ton of important updates for Tuesday’s Black Tuesday release which starts at 4:30pm. Oh, and they will be selling memberships to the all-new Bruery Reserve Society.

“The details have changed a bit from our previous announcement, so please take a look. The major changes are:

— No more number system (just one line and two registers forming outside– we’ll do our best to keep it moving quickly)

— All purchased and allocated bottles will be picked up in the front office (we will give you a Purchase Form at the time of purchase)

— Partridge in a Pear Tree is for the first 250 Reserve Society members only (we only yielded 290 bottles total)

— Please do not arrive earlier than 4:30 PM so we can less the impact on our neighbors. We will not have a designated line prior to 4:30 PM. Please do not consume alcohol in our parking lot– it is not part of our brewery and therefore does not have an ABC license.

Once you’ve been checked out and your Purchase Form has been approved by Bruery employees, you may pick up your bottles/merchandise at anytime in the front office or proceed to the bar to redeem your drink tickets. You will need your Purchase Form to pick up your bottles!

If you’d like to purchase an additional Tasting Flight, you may do so in the same line (which unfortunately means leaving the Bruery and waiting in line again).
