Every perk.
Every location.
Written out.

The Mug Club is $99 a year. The perks below are everything you get for it — what works at the flagship, what works at the brewery stops, and what shows up in the mail. No fine print elsewhere. This is the page.

The short answer

The Stage Stop BBQ Mug Club is $99 a year (or $9 a month) and returns about $319 in benefits over twelve months for an average member — a numbered ceramic mug shipped to your home, $1 off every brewery-partner draft, a free side with every entrée, double points always, a free birthday meal, free seats at the monthly Pit Master Tasting at The Cantina, BOGO sandwich Tuesdays, a quarterly members-only sauce drop, and 48-hour early access to ticketed events. Every perk works at all four Colorado Springs locations — The Cantina, Mash Mechanix, Old Colorado City, and Urban Animal at Star Ranch.

The nine perks

$99 in. ~$319 back. Year one.

Pulled from the same data the /mug-club page runs on, so the numbers move together. Heavier visitors net materially more.

01 · Founding

Numbered ceramic mug

Hand-numbered with your name. Real ceramic, not promo plastic. Ships in 7 days. Mug #874 just shipped, so you'll know roughly where you're queued.

02 · Beer

$1 off every brewery draft

At every Stage Stop location. Show the mug or your phone. Stacks across visits — no monthly cap.

03 · Food

Free side with every entrée

Mac, slaw, beans, greens, cornbread, anything on the side line. Counts as your second side on plates — so you get a third for $3 instead of $5.

04 · Points

Double points always

Free tier earns 1 point per $1. You earn 2. 100 points = $10 reward. Birthday month: triple points.

05 · Birthday

Free birthday meal

Any entrée up to $22. Free side comes free anyway. The bar staff is briefed to ruin your composure with a small Eve-signed card.

06 · Tastings

Pit Master Tastings · free

First Tuesday of every month at The Cantina. Five-course tasting, Eve hosts. Free for members ($25 otherwise). 30 seats — Mug Club gets first booking.

07 · BOGO

BOGO Tuesdays

Buy any sandwich, get a second 50% off. Mug Club only. Drives a slow weekday at the partner breweries — they love it.

08 · Sauce drop

Quarterly sauce drop

A new sauce every three months, Mug Club only. Shipped to your door or pickup at your home location. Last one was a smoked-coffee bourbon BBQ — sold out the public release in two weeks.

09 · Tickets

Early access to ticketed events

Pit Master Tastings, beer-pairing dinners, live music ticketed nights. Mug Club gets the email 48 hours before public release. Most paid events sell out before the public window opens.

Where each perk works

Four locations. One membership.

The food perks are the same everywhere. The bar perks change shape because the bar changes — the flagship pours full bar, the brewery stops pour whatever the brewery has on draft that week.

Beyond the grid

A few more things that come with the mug.

These don't have a card on the main perks grid because they're operational, not transactional — but they're real, and members ask about them often enough that they belong here.

10 · Catering

Priority catering booking

Members get first look at the calendar when we open a new quarter, and we hold a small pitmaster-only block out of the regular booking window for Mug Club requests. See /catering for tiers and pricing.

11 · Events

RSVP priority on the events calendar

Beer-pairing dinners, Saturday-night music sets, Pit Master Tastings, holiday menus — the Mug Club email goes out 48 hours before public release. Most paid events sell out inside that window. See /events for what’s on.

12 · Brisket countdown

Sellout alerts before we’re out

The brisket goes on at three in the morning and runs out when it runs out. Opt in to push notifications on the main Mug Club page and we’ll fire a heads-up when we’re inside the last hour at your home location. No marketing pings, no upsells — brisket-only.

13 · Members-only nights

Pit Master Tastings · first Tuesday

Thirty seats at The Cantina the first Tuesday of every month. Five courses, Eve hosts, members go first when booking opens. The public list pays $25; members go free so long as a seat is available. The room books out fast — the email is the perk.

Join

Three minutes

Ask any bartender, server, or cart lead. They’ll take your $99 (annual) or $9 (first month) via Toast, set your phone number as your member ID, and your perks fire on the next order. Your numbered mug ships to the location within 7 days.
