The Syndicate Membership has always been at the heart of what Cellador Ales is about. Syndicate Members are evangelists for what we’re doing here at Cellador; people who love not just craft beer, but especially wild and experimental beers; people who want access to the good stuff – to our smallest-batch and most special projects; and often, the people we’ve come to call close friends over the years.

For those of you who are already members, we hope you’ll re-up this year; and for those of you who’ve long thought about joining the Syndicate, we hope to invite you in this year!

Membership Access

Memberships are managed online through our website. Upon enrollment, you will create a username and password. Please remember your login information in order to process your allocations and to get your discount on other purchases throughout the year.

Each membership release will require you to process your allocations online through our website (at no extra cost). You will receive an email when each allocation is released, and will be asked to process that allocation before the specified date. By logging into the profile you created for your membership, allocations will be available in the store – follow the same checkout process as you would purchase any other item online, and note that you will not be charged for these allocations.

Mailing/Holdings

Proof that purchaser, designated trustee or delivery recipient is over 21 is required, regardless of delivery method.
We can ship within CA at an additional cost. Find out more information on our shipping policies here.
Though we encourage you to pick up your allocations and purchases periodically throughout the year, 2023 members will have the option to hold your bottles at the brewery through June 30, 2024. All orders are automatically held at the brewery unless you indicate that you want them shipped by purchasing a shipping box. Any bottles or merchandise that are not picked up by June 30, 2025 will be forfeited without refund regardless of whether you re-enroll as a 2025 member.
2023 members have the option to hold their orders at the brewery through March 31, 2024, regardless of membership renewal.
Orders purchased before your membership is active on 4/1/2024 will be subject to our normal 90-day pick-up policy, and will be forfeited without refund if not picked up in that window.
To pick up your order at the brewery, we ask that you email info@celladorales.com 24 hours in advance to let us know to have your order ready. This is particularly important for large orders. Orders can only be picked up if you have confirmed with us that your order is ready for pickup
Members may designate a Trustee to pick up their beers. An ID proving that the person who is accepting the package is 21+ years of age will be required. The name of your trustee must be emailed to Syndicate@celladorales.com. Trustees must be indicated for each pickup unless you have designated a permanent trustee. Trustees can be changed at any time by emailing Syndicate@celladorales.com.

Shipping within California

*Our shipping policy may change slightly pending the re-opening of our tasting room.

Shipping is available to both members and non-members. Shipping can be made to any residential or business address in California at an additional cost. A flat rate shipping cost of $20, which is charged when you purchase a shipping box, will be applied to all merchandise and bottle orders. Each piece of glassware and/or shirt shipped will take the place of 1 bottle in a box. If you would like to save on shipping costs, you have the option to combine orders and ship multiple orders at once. If you would like to do this, just purchase a shipping box when you are ready to ship all orders being held at the brewery. Please keep in mind our non-member and member hold times, as each individual order may have a different hold expiration date. Cellador Ales is only legally allowed to ship to addresses within California, even if your state allows beer shipping. GSO will not ship to PO boxes. Shipment cost will increase for each case of 12 items (Example: If you combine 24 bottles into a shipment order, you will need to purchase 2 shipping boxes, which will total $40 for shipping).

Shipments are currently processed and picked up by GSO every weekday. All packages are shipped overnight, and will be delivered on the following day. We will ship orders Monday through Thursday each week, for delivery Tuesday through Friday. The cutoff time for shipments each day if 4 PM. Any shipments placed after that time will be shipped on the next available day.

A signature and government issued ID proving that the person accepting the packing is 21+ years of age will be required upon delivery. We cannot ship beer to P.O. boxes. If purchaser is not present for adult signature, and a package is returned, purchaser will be charged a return fee (determined by cost of return shipping, restocking, and any other fees that may occur). If packages are returned to Cellador Ales, you may re-choose your form of delivery/pick-up at that time by contacting info@celladorales.com.

*Cellador Ales reserves the right to update and change shipping options and policies.

Re-Selling Beer

We expect that no Syndicate release will be resold for any reason. All beer purchased and obtained through The Syndicate is for the purpose of consumption. Please do not resell Cellador brands outside of the Syndicate releases without obtaining a wholesale account with us. To set up a wholesale account, please reach out to Alex at alex@celladorales.com. Reselling bottles without a wholesale account with Cellador Ales is illegal and can jeopardize our ABC license. Licensed retailers are prohibited from purchasing beer as a Syndicate member unless it is solely for personal consumption and not for resale or distribution. If a club member is found illegally reselling our beer, their membership will be canceled, and whatever allocations are left at that point will be refunded. Beer trading is not prohibited.

Cancellations/Terminations of Syndicate Membership

Cellador Ales reserves the right to cancel/terminate Syndicate Memberships for any reason. If your Syndicate membership is terminated by Cellador Ales, you will be notified through the email attached to your account and a refund based on the remaining allocations will be refunded to you. It is up to Cellador Ales’ discretion to allow or terminate any memberships at any time, and reasons may or may not be given.

Cellador Ales’ Syndicate Membership sales are final, and once purchased, members may not cancel their membership for that year.

Any benefits purchased with the Syndicate membership that are not picked up/set up to be delivered by June 30th, 2025 will be considered the property of Cellador Ales.
