First right to renew membership for the following year

At the heart of the society is an appreciation of lagers and indirectly German drinking traditions. As such, members will be the only ones permitted to purchase 1 Liter pours of beer at our Malden tap room to which we are limiting to lagers and German styles only. But don’t worry, we have plenty in store for our lager program for 2023 so there will be a variety to choose from including favorites Edgeworth, Emelyn, Klara, Heide, Brunhilda, and many more! Your mug will live at Idle Hands for the entire year. At the end of the year the mug is yours to keep, if you choose to not renew.

New Membership Price: $120
