Our CSB Program

Excelsior Brewing’s Community Supported
Brewery (CSB) Program

Launching August 10, 2025

At Excelsior Brewing, we’ve always seen ourselves as more than just a brewery—we're a gathering place, a community hub, and a reflection of the people who support us. As we look toward the future, we want to ensure we can continue to offer this space, this connection, and this craft beer experience for many years to come.

To do that, we’re launching a Community Supported Brewery (CSB) program—our version of a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture). It’s a community-first subscription model designed to help us stay strong through the quieter winter months, while giving our supporters something meaningful in return.

What Is a CSB?

The CSB is a beer subscription program, where members pre-pay (annually or monthly) in exchange for curated beer pickups, exclusive access, and more. Think of it as your personal connection to Excelsior Brewing—supporting local craft beer, local jobs, and the space where our community comes together. It’s not a donation. It’s a relationship. It’s your way of saying, “We want you here, and we want to be part of it.”

How It Works

What You Get

  • Two six-packs of EBC beer per month (with the option to mix and match with seltzers)
  • Optional bonus: a pint on pickup so you can stick around and connect with the beer drinking community! You can add this option for $60 a year.
  • Monthly email reminders and exclusive community updates
  • Flexibility to redeem beers throughout the year—great for parties or gifts
  • Access to “Thank You” events and member-only taproom gatherings
  • Surprise perks & giveaways throughout the year

What It Costs

$240 Annually

  • Pick up your two 6-packs each month — or grab all 24 at once if you’re hosting a party! Choose what you’d like, and we’ll mark it off for you right here in the taproom.
  • Giftable and shareable! Buy for yourself, or gift to friends and family
  • Add the “get a beer at 6-pack pick up for $60 ($300 total for the year)

How to Sign Up

  • Visit our taproom or sign up via a dedicated QR code on posters, social, and our website
  • Select annual subscription
  • Set up secure auto-pay through Square (with options to change info or cancel at the end of the year)

Why We’re Doing This

Small breweries like ours face growing challenges—rising costs, shifting buying habits, and seasonal slowdowns. The CSB is a direct way for the people who love this place to help sustain it. It gives us predictable support through the winter, allowing us to:

  • Continue brewing and packaging without compromise
  • Keep our staff employed and engaged
  • Host more community events, fundraisers, and live music
  • Support and partner with local businesses and causes
  • Stay independent and community-driven

A Gathering Place, Not Just a Brewery

Excelsior Brewing has always been about more than beer. It’s about connection. Whether you're here for a concert, a fundraiser, a trivia night, or just a sunny afternoon on the patio—we’ve built something special together.

With this CSB, we’re inviting you to take a more active role in that. You're not just subscribing to a product—you're investing in your community, in small business, and in a space where neighbors meet, stories are shared, and memories are made. Let’s build the next chapter together.

Looking Ahead: Community, Collaboration, and Longevity

We’re exploring even more ways to bring value to this program and deepen our community impact:

  • Member Mondays: Private hours in the fall/winter for CSB members
  • Oktoberfest Community Night: Kick off the weekend with a Thursday celebration for our supporters
  • Merch Packs: Small gifts or perks for long-time subscribers

The Fine Print Made Simple

  • FAQs and full program details available online and in taproom
  • Want to gift a CSB? Easy! Just ask a bartender or click the “Gift This” option online

Our Ask

We’re looking for 1,000 units—whether that’s 1,000 people or 500 folks each subscribing to 2 units. Some may want more. Others may contribute without collecting beer at all. Every bit helps. Every subscription tells us this matters. Excelsior Brewing Matters. Let’s make this model the future of local craft brewing—and show that community still means something.

Launch Date: August 10, 2025
