Blackbird Beer Club launches today, a new platform to celebrate and enjoy all things New York beer. The club, founded Ben Leventhal of Eater and Resy, is a continuation of the Blackbird brand and is essentially an all-access pass to area breweries.
Benefits include everything from limited-edition beers to members-only events and tours. Members gain access to beers on the house at certain brewers and bars in NYC and exclusive merch, not to mention access to a club newsletter.
Member labels include the likes of Brooklyn Brewery, Threes Brewing, ABC Beer Co., and more. Memberships of varying lengths are available and there’s even a point system the club can use to spend on meals at partnering restaurants. The club launches today for an introductory rate of $25 per month. So, if you have a beer fan in your life and are still holiday shopping (and based in NYC), this could be the gift you’re after.
Blackbird started several years back as a loyalty program for foodies and restaurant enthusiasts. It’s since expanded to include things like a brunch club and now a beer club. The club brings together fans of the NYC beer scene and treats them to a well-curated list of options as well as perks.
While we are on the topic, check out related features on subjects like the best holiday beers and the best non-alcoholic brews. If you’re a fan of hops, be sure to read about some of our favorite winter IPA style beers, endorsed by those in the know (bartenders). Here’s to something good in your glass.
