SHEBOYGAN — 3 Sheeps Brewing Company, 1837 North Ave., is now offering storage for its beer club members.
The Barrel Society, founded in 2018, offers members access to the brewery’s six barrel-aged beers for that year, including two types of The Wolf, a bourbon Imperial Stout. They can also reserve anniversary beers and barleywines, get discounts at the tap room and online shop, and attend a members-only party in July.
Barrel Society members will now have the option to store their reserved beers at the taproom up to a year, ending Jan. 15, 2025, too. This could be especially beneficial for members who live far from 3 Sheeps, whether in- or out-of-state, who may need more flexibility to pick up their beer, a news release said. There is a $1 fee per unit of reserved beer, like a bottle, can or four-pack.
Johnsonville workforce changes: Johnsonville to close one facility by the end of 2024. Here's how many workers could be impacted.
“We’ve heard the requests over the years, and we’re excited to be able to offer it,” Grant Pauly, founder and brewmaster of 3 Sheeps Brewing Co., said. “Like so many aspects of the Barrel Society, we’ve listened to our fans and implemented a change that improves the experience. We can’t wait for new members to join who couldn’t experience our beer in the past.”
While the Barrel Society grows a little bit year to year, Pauly said 3 Sheeps keeps it relatively small because there's open communication and feedback with members and the brewery has a limited capacity to process a handful of bourbon barrels for the entire year.
"Our goal with our Barrel Society is not to be the biggest," Pauly said. "Our goal is to have a really great, small community of barrel-aged loving individuals that we get to make fun, special beers with."
