**What does a Société du Chêne Membership entail?**

 * One bottle each of fourteen barrel-aged beers to be released over the course 
   of the next year including a mix of six wine or foeder, and eight spirits barrel-
   aged beers with BA Abraxas and Maman being guaranteed in the mix.
 * 15% discount on on-premise purchases with valid membership ID (does not include
   bottles or cans to-go, merchandise, or on-premise bottles). Member must present
   Société card at time of payment with ID to be eligible for this discount.
 * A SdC member pre-sale when possible for: beer packages, Perennial event tickets,
   and additional member bottles (based on quantities available). Two spirits barrel-
   aged brands will be made available for an additional bottle purchase- these brands
   will be chosen based on available quantity. We appreciate your understanding.
 * Exclusive SdC bottle shares and beer pairing dinners.  

**DETAILSPlease read all membership details closely. There is a lot of information
here!  

One membership per person.  

Each of the fourteen beers will be released at some time during the membership period.
We will release beers when we feel that they are ready. For this reason, a release
schedule will not be shared in advance.  

Members will have a two week window to pick up bottles at the brewery during tasting
room hours (Wednesday- Friday 4-10pm, Saturday 12-10pm, Sunday 12-6pm) as they become
available and must be picked up by the member or their assigned proxy. If the bottles
are not claimed within the designated pickup time, they will be forfeited. This 
will be strictly enforced, as it becomes increasingly difficult to track and maintain
bottles after the pick-up window.   

If there are extra bottles available, (depending on the number) bottles will either
be offered to members for purchase OR sold for on or off-premise consumption in 
the Perennial Tasting Room – this is 100% at our discretion.  

All bottles must be picked up in the tasting room. Under no circumstances are we
able to ship bottles, nor are we able to hold your bottles should you not pick them
up in the time period allotted. Unclaimed bottles will be forfeited without refund.

Memberships are non-transferable.  

Members may designate a proxy to pick up bottles at the tasting room via Oznr by
selecting ‘Assign Proxy’ for each bottle released. Please do not assign a proxy 
until you are certain they will be picking up your bottle, doing so transfers the
ability to claim bottles from you to your proxy. If you choose to assign a proxy,
please ask that they review what has been claimed. It is your responsibility to 
communicate details of a pick up to your proxy, and their responsibility to ensure
they are picking up the correct bottles. Membership benefits do not apply to proxies.

One person can proxy for up to a maximum of 5 people per release. This person can
also be a member. If more than 5 people have assigned one person as proxy, they 
will be given the choice of which 5 bottles they would like to claim, and proxy 
information for remaining bottles will be reset. If you choose to assign a proxy,
information MUST be assigned for each bottle, bottles without proxy information 
will not be given to your trustee.  

All notices regarding beer releases are sent via email. Emails are sent to the member
only and are limited to one email address per membership. Please be very diligent
in checking these emails, as they will contain releases, pre-sales, and time sensitive
information and we cannot be responsible for information missed. Note that these
often go to your spam/promotions folder, we are not able to prevent this. Be sure
you are regularly checking folders for SdC communication. Limited information is
also communicated in our Facebook group, Société du Chêne. Use the same email address
you provide to Société to sign up if you choose to do so.   

Our staff works very hard to ensure you receive your beer as quickly as possible.
Any disrespect to staff or patrons, in person or on public forums, will not be tolerated.
This includes, but is not limited to, harassment or discrimination based on race,
sex, gender, political beliefs, religious beliefs, or national origin. We reserve
the right to revoke the membership should this policy be violated.  

**A few words on reselling beers:   We’re proud of the lineup we’ve created for 
our Société du Chêne membership, and we go to great lengths to make sure our beers
get to Société members in the best shape possible and at a fair price. We consider
the time spent creating and aging the beer as well as the cost of ingredients to
figure out what we feel is fair to charge for our beer. Expectations for a $25 to
$55 bottle of beer are remarkably different from those resold for $100+ per bottle–
as they should be. Further, beers on the secondary market often change hands multiple
times through various shipment and storage conditions, potentially compromising 
the integrity of a fragile item. If in the end, someone has paid a greatly inflated
sum for our beer and is disappointed, it often comes back on us even though its 
condition is well outside our control at that point.  

Société membership is an opportunity to enjoy and share some of our most limited
beers, not a business opportunity. If we determine you are reselling beer, we reserve
the right to terminate your membership without refunds. Remaining beer will be forfeited.

Please reach out to [so*****@***********er.com](https://www.nyrdcast.com/perennial-artisan-ales-societe-du-chene-2022-2023-sign-up-is-live/so*****@***********er.com)
with any questions. We look forward to another year!    

**SdC FAQ**

**Q: When can I pick up my bottles? **
Prior to your bottles being released, you
will get an email with your pick up window in our tasting room during tasting room
hours. Bottles MUST be picked up during this window. Tasting Room hours* are: Monday
CLOSEDTuesday CLOSEDWednesday 3-9pmThursday 3-9pmFriday 3-9pmSaturday noon-9pmSunday
noon-6pm*These are subject to change in current conditions. All changes will be 
communicated.

**Q: When will BA Abraxas, Maman, X BA Stout be ready!?**
None of our barrel-aged
beers are on a calendar. Barrels get filled when we’re able to source them and when
we have room in the schedule to fill them. That varies. Beer matures in time. We
sample, determine if it’s ready and order the adjuncts if applicable, packaging 
materials, wax, labels, etc. Please trust that Société members are always the first
to know, as soon as we’re confident the beer will be ready.

**Q: What does my SdC discount apply to? **
Your 15% discount applies to on-premise
purchases with valid membership ID (does not include beer to-go, merchandise, or
on-premise bottles). Member must present Societe card at time of payment with ID
to be eligible for this discount. Proxies are not eligible for the member’s discount.

**Q: Can someone else pick up my bottle?**
Yes. Please assign proxy via Oznr for
EACH bottle that you will not pick up yourself. You will need their name and email
address to do so. Once you have assigned a proxy, an email will be automatically
sent to that person, and rights to claim the bottle will be transferred from you
to your proxy. Bottles without proxy information listed will not be given to anyone
other than the member. It is your responsibility to communicate with your proxy 
to ensure they are under the limit of how many people they can pick up for (5). 

**Q: What do I/my proxy need to bring in order to pick up? **
Just an ID or QR code
from the Oznr app. Please be sure to REVIEW (or have your proxy REVIEW) the number
of bottles prior to leaving the tasting room. It is always the responsibility of
the person picking up to know what they are there to pick up and who they are proxying
for. Please communicate clearly with them if you’ve purchased an additional bottle,
have multiple pick-ups, etc.
