Discover the Value of Membership
Every Founders Club membership includes a full year of opportunities to explore new beers. In our first year, we poured more than 40 different beers. Imagine what you could discover over the next twelve months! Based on up to 40 new beer tastings with a value of $5 each, members could enjoy up to $200 in new-beer tasting opportunities alone. Actual releases and availability may vary.
The Beer Explorer Challenge
Every Founders Club membership includes a full year of opportunities to explore new beers. As a member, you’ll enjoy exclusive first access to newly tapped beers, including a tasting opportunity with every new release.
How many different beer styles can you discover?
Every Founders Club member is automatically part of our Beer Explorer Leaderboard.
The rules are simple:
- Discover a new beer style and earn 1 point.
- Each beer style only counts once.
- A tasting sample counts. You don’t need to drink a whole beer.
- The more different styles you discover, the higher you climb.
It’s not about how much beer you drink. It’s about how many different styles you explore.
Can You Catch the Beerducator?
Our resident Beerducator has already explored over 100 different beer styles!
His name sits at the top of the leaderboard as the ultimate benchmark. Compete with other members, discover styles you’ve never heard of and see how close you can get. At the end of the membership year, we’ll crown our inaugural Beer Explorer Champion.
Your Very Own Glass at the Bar
Exclusive to Founder members.
Imagine walking into the Tap House and seeing your own personalised beer glass waiting behind the bar. Engraved with your name and Founders Club membership, it’s your very own piece of the Tap House. Because being a Founder isn’t just about the beer. It’s about belonging.

Membership benefits are personal and non-transferable once activated. Monthly beer size upgrades do not roll over and cannot be combined with other promotions. New-beer tastings are measured samples, subject to availability.
All alcohol service and membership benefits are subject to Responsible Service of Alcohol (RSA) requirements, staff discretion and applicable NSW liquor laws. Valid ID may be required; service may be refused where required by RSA obligations.
The Beer Explorer Challenge rewards discovery of different beer styles, not alcohol consumption. Full membership terms, including gift activation and validity, and applicable regulatory requirements must be confirmed before memberships go on sale.
