ISM Brewing is leveling up—and it’s not your average brewery flex. They just dropped their “Guild of Hoppiness” membership, and if you love fresh beer, local community, and perks that actually feel real—you’re gonna want in.
Long Beach welcomed ISM with wide arms, and now ISM’s giving back by turning casual drinkers into insiders. Here’s how it works: pick your vibe. You want to swing by often and just want taproom love? There’s a tier for that. Got fam? They got a tier for that too, with food credits and more cans. And if you live too far to swing by, they’ll ship that fresh beer straight to you. Yes—you read that right.
Let’s break it down.
At its core, the Guild of Hoppiness is a choose-your-own-adventure membership—local or out-of-town, solo or family-style—with perks that actually make sense. For the regulars (you know who you are), there’s the “Friends” tier: two four-packs a month, discounts on draft beer (hello, 35% off Monday through Thursday), and early access to those juicy new releases that seem to vanish in a weekend. Oh, and brewer meet-ups? Yep, those too.
Got a crew or a couple of little ones in tow? The “Family” tier steps it up with four four-packs and a monthly $50 food credit. Honestly, that covers enough tacos and mac n’ cheese to make your next taproom hangout stress-free and snack-rich. And if you’ve moved away but still miss that ISM flavor, they’ve got the “Fresh Beer” tier that ships new releases straight to your door. Real talk—shipping craft beer is usually a pain, so the fact that they’ve figured that out? Respect.
But what makes the Guild actually cool—and not just “cool for a brewery club”—is how much it reflects Long Beach vibes. This isn’t about exclusive velvet rope nonsense. It’s about community. Brewer Q&As, block-party energy, local collabs, clean-up days, supporting teachers and first responders—this is ISM doubling down on being more than a business. It’s a beer-powered ecosystem. It’s local love, bottled and poured.
And yeah, the perks are great. But it’s also about walking into the taproom, seeing that “Guild” badge on your receipt, and knowing you’re part of something. You’re not just another barstool—you’re in the circle. And in a city like Long Beach, where we pride ourselves on showing up for each other, that means something.
So yeah, signups are open now. Head over to ISM’s taproom or go online. Join the Guild. Sip local. And let’s keep giving Long Beach something real to toast to.
Join the Guild. Sip local. Stay hoppy, Long Beach.
