Get all TOB branded merch for 25% off! Pick up a hoodie, bottle opener, hat, etc. for 25% off the normal price. Excludes giftcards.
Join us in our private, members-only Facebook group where we post updates, special announcements, bottle lotteries (for Silver & Blue levels), and more! All announcements will be posted on the group ONLY (no more announcement emails), so join the group to make sure you don’t miss out!

You will have first dibs on purchasing tickets for all ticketed events hosted by The Open Bottle! Presale information will be posted in the members Facebook group, so make sure you join!
Get access to participate in bottle lotteries for limited-release, special, rare, whalezbro, .rar bottles! Bottle lotteries will be announced on the member Facebook group, so be sure to join (super good idea!)
Yep! That’s right. All Blue Level members will get access to EVEN MORE member-only bottle lotteries. Your chances of winning are even greater!
All Blue Level members will be invited to join us on a brewery tour! We’ll set up the transportation and beer, you come along for the ride, tour, and beer! And yes, we’re really excited about this one because it gives us an excuse (not that we need one) to go on a brewery tour and hang out with our members 🙂 There will be an additional cost for this benefit.
Throughout the year, we may close The Open Bottle for a special occasion, private event, holiday, employee outing, etc. If that day happens to be a day you’d normally receive a benefit, we will post in advance the “rollover” day.Â
For example, if we close on a Wednesday because of a holiday, we will announce Thursday as the “rollover” day for your “Draft taster on Wednesdays” benefit. Rollover announcements will be made via the member Facebook group and are not always the following day.
Rollover days are only available for full days we are closed. So if we close earlier or open later than we normal would, there will not be a rollover day.
SILVER
The essentials plus a little bit more.

The Wizard Manifesto
The Society of Distinguished Beer Wizards is about community-driven craft beer enthusiasm and (most importantly) fun! We enjoy drinking beers with friends, bonding over the variety and nuances of craft beer, creating friendships and teaching newcomers, regardless of differences, about the love of craft beer with open minds (and bottles). We are distinguished beer wizards! If these things are apart of you… join us!
