how it works
To get you set up to use your membership, we need just a few things from you:
1. Your photo and information to identify you in our taprooms as a verified Whalers Club member. This club is essentially a “mug club”, so we will need your “mugshot”. Please visit the Costa Mesa taproom and notify the beer server you are there to take your photo (polaroid). We must also confirm with valid ID that you are of legal drinking age, and we will keep your name and birthday with your photo at both taprooms to verify membership on your visit.
2. Your T-Shirt Size. Please fill out the form on the link provided below to select a Tshirt size. We will use a cotton t-shirt from American Apparel, NextLevel, Bella Canvas, or something like that. We may order a few shirts beyond the sizes you order, but will not guarantee you have the perfect fit if you order the wrong size.
3. Agree to rules and terms of the membership. There is a list of terms on the link provided, and you must agree to the terms in the form at the bottom.
Then…once we have your photo/info (you came to Costa Mesa and took a polaroid and showed your valid ID) and you have submitted T-shirt size and agreed to terms (in the form below)... we will keep them at both taprooms so you can redeem membership benefits at both of our locations. Simply mention to your beer server that you are a “Whaler” or “Whalers Club member” and they will verify your identity on our mugshot collection. Please refrain from being upset if the server asks for your valid ID (driver’s license) as well.
Your membership discounts will be applied to member’s order only, even if part of a larger party.
FAQ
What does the Club T-Shirt look like?
We will be making it once we have collected our members and their sizes. We may even submit some designs to you all to take a vote. But it take a little time to design, print and get them to you. So thanks for your patience.
When is my included specialty bottle released?
Due to the nature of barrel aged beer, we simply have to wait until something is ready. You will have to pick up the bottle yourself, but we will set aside a reasonable window in which you can do that once it is released.
When is the Whalers Club Happy Hour event?
We have not put it on the calendar yet, but we wanted to give you all some time to begin using the membership and seeing other club members by visiting the taproom and high fiving each other(especially when you see another T-shirt cladded member). It will be a Gunwhale hosted event and we look forward to getting you all in one (tap)room…which will include a tour of our brewery.
Whalers Club Membership and benefits are non-transferrable.
Whalers Club memberships run for a calendar year from January 1 to December 31. We will email you to remind you of your renewal. It will be your responsibility to renew your membership. Current Whalers Club members will have first right to renew membership before open enrollment occurs. If you fail to do so, your spot will be forfeited.
Discounts may only be applied to member's order only (regardless of party size). Whalers Club discounts cannot be used in conjunction with other discounts.
Gunwhale management reserves the right to change the terms and benefits of the mug club at any time. Members will be notified of any such changes via email.
Gunwhale management reserves the right to revoke a club membership, without refund, due to refusal to observe appropriate Gunwhale Taproom policies or CA ABC laws including those regarding public intoxication.
Please know that while we've spent a great deal of time building this club membership, this will inevitably be a work in progress. Release dates and additional details will need to be worked out, but know that we're looking to build this into an incredibly creative and rewarding membership program. We would love your feedback on it throughout the year as well.
