Join our Yardbird Beer Club for regular shipments, special access to our reserve/limited-edition brews, exclusive discounts, and access to special events – including our legendary Yardbird Pick-Up Parties.
Each release includes a dog tag specific to that release (handmade in-house on an old typo-graph). When you pick-up your release, you'll receive a dog tag that identifies you as a current, active, beer-purchasing-and-receiving-Yardbird and it can be used to receive free beers and special access at events.
Each release, Yardbirds and their guests can purchase tickets to our rockin' Pick-Up Parties held at our Coal Shed Brewery on the waterfront of Mare Island. Parties include catered food, beer, live music, an intense and highly anticipated game (usually the highlight of the event, water balloon launchers have been involved), and of course, your release will be ready for pick up.
Multiple, fun, Yardbird-only events throughout the year: The Winter Feast, Brewer's Bootcamp, 4th of July Fireworks viewing, SF Giants game, Historic Mare Island Brew Cruise, Crawfish Boil, and more.
Yardbirds tour and taste at our Coal Shed Brewery for free. Tours must be scheduled in advance.
Yardbirds receive 50% off shipping on all online orders, always (including club releases).
