How Brewzle Exclusive Drops Work
What are Brewzle Exclusive Drops?
Instead of releasing one barrel pick at a time like other clubs, we curate drops from a collection of barrels we've picked over the last year. Each drop has plenty of bottles to ensure there is something for everyone.
Each drop may have multiple barrels from the same brand, some from large brands, and others from brands you likely never heard of. Our goal is to give you access to barrels you can't get anywhere else, we're always looking for new small producers, and bring you hard to find barrels at reasonable prices.
How often do you do drops?
We attempt to drop new releases every other month throughout the year, starting in January. However, that schedule is subject to change. We will announce the date of the next drop, usually about one month before it takes place.
Who can participate?
Our drops are open to the public; however, members of the Brewzle Club get first dibs on buying bottles. The Brewzle Club is the best way to support Brewzle's mission to build a community around distilled spirits. You can join for free, but we offer paid tiers starting at just $5 a month.
On drop day, access to purchase bottles will begin with the highest-paying tiers and work their way down until it reaches the public. Each tier has a set amount of time before the next tier gains access.
Brewzle Club
Members of the Brewzle Club will get first access to all exclusive releases. There are seven tiers in the club, and each tier has a designated purchase window to gain access to releases.
The top two tiers, 100 and 50 Proof, receive drops a day early. On drop day, the remaining tiers will gain access from 1:00 PM CT for the 35 Proof tier to 2:30 PM CT for the Free tier. Each tier's purchase window lasts 15 minutes (except for 100 and 50 Proof). Purchase windows are not exclusive to that tier; any member of a higher tier will also have access during the lower tier's windows.
Brewzle YouTube Members
YouTube Channel Members can gain access to drop bottles at the same time as their Brewzle Club counterparts; however, they must join our Discord Server and link their YouTube accounts to their Discord accounts for access. Learn more about that in the "How Drops Work" section below.
General Public
At the end of the Brewzle Club early access, our retail store becomes unlocked, and anyone can purchase the remaining bottles. To be notified when this happens, sign up for our newsletter below.

How do drops work?
Where are Brewzle Barrel Picks sold?
We partner with Vista Wine & Spirits and Bottle Nexus to support online sales and shipments of our exclusive releases. Bottles can only be purchased online and must be shipped to you; local pickup is not an option.
Due to liquor retail laws, all Brewzle exclusive releases must be sold on a separate website, BrewzlePicks.com.
Unlocking the Bottle Drop Bottles
Bottles for each drop are locked before they become available to the public. To unlock this section of BrewzlePicks.com, we will provide a link that automatically unlocks this section once clicked.
This link is:
a) Not to be shared with anyone, even if they claim to be a member.
b) Is not shared ahead of time with anyone, no matter the reason.
Option 1: Club.Brewzle.com (Patreon Only)
You will find this link in one of two locations. First on our Brewzle Club Site, Club.Brewzle.com. This site was created in accordance with Patreon's Terms of Service, which do not allow links to the sale of alcohol on their site. Once you log in to the Club Site with your Patreon account, you should see posts from previous drops or details about the upcoming drop. When your tier is allowed to purchase, a new post will appear (a refresh is required) with the unlock link to BrewzlePicks.com.
Option 2: Discord
The second place is in our Discord server. This serves as a backup in case of issues with our Club Site, but also as the primary spot for YouTube members to access our barrel picks. Simply join the server and link your Patreon or YouTube account to Discord in order to receive a special role in the server. This role will unlock tier-specific announcement chats under the "Brewzle Barrel Picks" category. These announcements will be shared as links during your purchase window.
How many bottles can we buy?
Each tier has a specific limit on the number of bottles you can purchase; you can only buy one of any given bottle. For example, the 20 Proof tier ($20 per month) can purchase two(2) bottles per drop, as long as those two bottles are different.
Open Season and Reserve Drop
Just before drop access reaches the Brewzle Club Free Tier, all limits are removed. We call this point "Open Season."
During this time, all Brewzle Club Paid members can go back and order any additional bottles they couldn't purchase during their designated time. We also give members access to purchase bottles that were held in reserve during the previous drop to replace shipping damage.*
After Open Season and Free Tier, the Public can purchase bottles from the drop with no limits.
Shipping
Our retailer can ship to all US states and Washington DC except Utah and South Dakota. For now, we don't have any plans to add Utah or South Dakota due to local laws.
However, from time to time, some zip codes may cause a problem. The best solution to ensure you won't have an issue during a drop is to test your address by adding a bottle to the cart and checking out.
Shipping costs are as follows:
- CONUS: $18 for up to 12 bottles
- Alaska & Hawaii: $89.99 for up to 12 bottles
When should I expect my bottles to be delivered?
Our retailer does their best to get all orders shipped out from their warehouse within one week of the drop, some factors may cause delays in shipping. ^
Customer Support
All support requests should be sent to our retailer, Vista Wine & Spirits. Send emails to sales@vistawinespirits.com, and please allow at least 48 hours for a response.
If Vista's customer support team is unable to help resolve the issue, feel free to reach out to support@brewzle.com, and we can attempt to remedy it.
* - Due to the nature of reserve bottles being the left over bottles from previous drops, we cannot replace any broken of damanged bottles after shipping. We can offer you a refund for that bottle if it does arrive damaged.
^ - Longhorn offers expedited 2-day and overnight shipping options. These shipping upgrades do not apply to getting your order packed which may take several days depending on order volume.
