Membership, plainly

A membership, not a store.

Neighbors who fill glass growlers at a tap would pay a membership fee. There are no per-pour sales, and this is not a shop.

The fee is not set, and nothing is collected yet. This site takes no payment.

The waitlist below is email only. It is not the membership, it does not reserve anything, and it asks nothing of you.
