Reserving your spot

Once you subscribe to the Hive membership, it will automatically charge your card on file every 3 months in perpetuity (or as long as our Hive program is running). This reserves our limited membership spots and ensures you receive a quarterly box of 12-bottles to be shipped to your door. Space is limited as we are only producing a small amount of beer per quarter for our members.

You are welcome to cancel your membership at any time! If you decide to cancel, we will fill your spot with a member on the Hive waitlist. If later you want to rejoin and no spots are open, you will be added to the waitlist in the order we receive your request. Thank you for understanding and being patient for open membership.

 
 

It all started when…

We started Plan Bee Farm Brewery with the Hive Membership back in 2013. It was the only way we sold our unique NYS ingredient wild ales. From the 1 BBL production house, directly to the community, if you weren’t a member of the Hive, you probably weren’t exposed to the beginning of Plan Bee. When it started, members would drive to Fishkill or the Beacon Farmers market and pick up 12-bottles a month to support the humble beginnings of Plan Bee.

In 2015, Plan Bee moved to our forever home, a 25-acre historic farm in Poughkeepsie, NY. The membership had to change, batch sizes grew, distribution was added, and we opened a taproom. Members enjoyed 6 or 12 bottles per quarter of whatever was happening at Plan Bee to make sure they didn’t miss a thing. Then the pandemic hit and the membership had to hit pause.

In 2024, we are reopening the membership! Evan has built small oak fermenters pitched with beeswax and pine sap from the farm. We are now bringing back small batch styles and we want to share them with you! We will be foraging and growing herbs, flowers & fruits just for these beers. Bringing us back to our roots, creating EXCLUSIVE beers that go only to our Hive Membership like the inception of Plan Bee in 2013!

If you love what we do, then join us on this journey of exploration & creativity. We look forward to sharing them with you Fall 2024!
