Keinzley Brewery

Welcome to our awesome Customer Loyalty Program.

Welcome and it is absolutely awesome that you are here.
Before we jump into it feet first let's walk through all that it is, as they say "Knowledge is power" so onto...

The BIG Intro

In the beginning there was God and some time later there were shops giving out coupons. Coupons were great but had their issues as Adam and Eve had with snakes so from coupons we branched away from the silliness of cutting out coupons and created tokens, just as the offspring of Adam and Eve moved to NZ to get away from snakes.

What we have built is called the Keinzley Brewery Token (KBT) which was followed by much applause and happiness much like it was when Kiwis were first discovered in NZ.

We at KB manage the token system and the whole thing is 100% a Keinzley Brewery Customer Loyalty Program just like Kiwis are definitely NZ'ers although they are not sure whether or not they can vote. As well as that Keinzley Brewery also happens to be in NZ where there are no snakes but quite a few Kiwis still wondering if they have the right to vote.

What is a KB token?

You are familiar with online shopping reward systems, popular supermarkets also have them. The difference between ours and theirs is our loyalty program has a real-world value as well as being able to get discounts on our products.
It is true, there are Kiwis in NZ.

How to get tokens?

When you purchase one of our bottles a paper token is packaged with along with the bottle. It is important when you recieve your token that you store it in a safe place.

What are they worth?

In the first instance and just like coupons you can use them to get discounts on our products. However our KBTs do have a real-world dollar value behind them because as the business grows we buy silver bars and coins to store in our KB Silver Reserve. So all of the tokens in circulation are valued according to the amount of silver that is in the reserve.

What can I do with them?

Pretty much anything, they're yours to do with as you please.

Some ideas: You can sell your tokens at any time to anybody that wants to buy them, trade with them, even make them into paper darts and have a flight distance competition with your buddies when drinking and if you want to get into investing you are able to buy more tokens from us.

The main point is that you can use these tokens to get discounts when buying any of our products.

How does the KB token gain in value?

This is the easy part; Keinzley Brewery buys blocks of real silver to make up the reserve fund that gives the token its value. From every bottle sold we bank $3.00 into a bank account that is called the KB Silver Rerserve Fund and when there is enough saved in there we run off to buy ounces of silver coins and bars from NZ Post Collectibles. That silver is then stored in a safe and that safe is known as our silver reserve. The more silver blocks and coins in the silver reserve means that we have been doing well in sales and it also means the higher the value is for each token in circulation.

About your tokens

Our tokens are printed on strong but durable card and the ink is rain proof. The token card has a front and back with information printed on both sides.

The next image shows the token and in this section we will walk you through the different parts of the token and how the token works.

The above image shows the front and back of your token.

Your Private Key: The Private Key validates the authenticity of your token. It stores information such as the value of that token, date of issue etc. When you return the tokens to us for product discounts etc. we run a QR scanner over the code inside the square box to prove that it is not a fake token. Should you want to sell your tokens you can use the QR scanner on your phone to do the same.

Your Public Address: The public address is the denomination value, just like $1, $5 etc. A "1" token is given on per bottles sold basis. So lets say you bought three bottles from us then you receive three tokens of the "1" value with your purchase.

All denominations used by our tokens are "1", "10", "25" and "100".

How to store your tokens

The best way to store your tokens is to store them somewhere safe in your house, like where you would store your personal files and such-like. Another option (if available to you) is a bank hosted safety deposit box.

However you store them the priority should always be on storing them in a dry place. Although they are printed on high quality card a damp environment will spoil them over time.

Token holder advantages

As a KB token holder you are considered as though one of the brewery's more special customers so as well as sharing our wealth with you via this program we also have goodies to share.

We are often doing cool stuff at the brewery such as making new drinks needing to be tested, offering seasonal specials like Chrissy, New Years etc., new drink pre-release tasting get togethers and a bunch of other really cool happenings.

As well as that there are other special occassions only for token holders ranging from free bottles going out to one-off long-aged collector's bottles being released. News of such activities is broadcast across the KB Universe; Facebook groups, Messenger groups etc.

Here are some frequently asked questions ~ FAQ's

Why should I trust this?

The simple answer is you don't have to.

You can watch your token's value grow at the KB Silver Reserve website and enjoy knowing that you are the owner of something quite useful. That is the purpose of this loyalty program; To share the brewery's wealth with our loyal customers.

How many tokens do I need to make money?

Essentially one token is enough for you to make you money on them. However they are not designed for that purpose but just as with trading cards such as Pokemon or All Blacks cards people do trade them, sell them, and even auction them.

If you have one token and hold onto it as a medium to long term investment then it could be worth quite a bit in years to come.

See the section "I want more tokens how much are they?" below for information regarding token investment packages.

How do I find out how much these tokens are worth?

At the top of this page you will see a green section showing the current information about the token. These values are updated each time we release a new block of tokens (a block = 100 tokens) and when we purchase more silver bars and coins. You can also head over to our Silver Reserve website to get a full breakdown on the token and silver values. Check out the KB Silver Reserve website.

I want more KB tokens can I buy some?

We have Token Investment Packages available for those that either want to take the collecting of tokens seriously or simply want to contribute to the growth of the brewery. There are three packages available; 10 KB Tokens, 25 KB Tokens and MINT (100) KB Tokens.

The Token Investment Package contains one token loaded with the value of tokens bought.

You can order an investment package by buying directly at the KB Silver Reserve website.

Why is the current token price low?

The simple answer is.....
Be patient the price will rise

The proper answer is.....
Each time bottles are sold two things happen; From sales more silver is bought (token price increases) and tokens are distributed to those customers (token price levels out). However the way we have it set it up is that the value saved from sales that is spent on silver always exceeds the current token price so the token value will always be increasing in value.

On a final note when customers buy the Token Investment Packages the token price increases dramatically.

Can I sell my tokens?

Yes. You can sell them privately, trade them, you can swap tokens for other things, you can auction tokens online, you could even post them in places like fb's Buy/Sell/Exchange groups, there is no limit on what you want to do with them once you have them.

I want to sell my tokens do you buy them back?

Hahaha good question but sorry no. Buying the tokens back would be the same as us going to the local liquor store and buying our own drinks back However we do offer discounts on the purchases of our products with the return of your tokens and that's worth money in itself.

Can I use my tokens to get discounts at the liquor store?

Yes that option is available but it is up to each individual liquor store as to whether they want to support this program. The main point for them is staffing and trusting staff to store the tokens for when purchases are made.

All of our distributors are asked when they make their first orders if they want to be a part of this program, however we leave it as an open option for them so we do not force it upon them.

I am not really into this token thing can I give my tokens away?

Yes, remember the tokens are funded by silver so they can be attractive as gifts.

There are no rules as to what you can and can't do with them, here are some examples...

• Gift them out as prezzies
• Save up a bunch to give as an investment gift
• Give them to the kids...
  • as a reward for good behaviour
  • as savings for their future booze spending
  • for education if you are wanting them to learn about buying and selling
  • could even be as your investment to help them buy their first car
• You could also hang them on the Chrissy tree, one for each family member
• Maybe give some away as a Valentine's gift to spoil your loved one

The possibilities are endless.

Can this token be traded at banks and currency exchanges for real money?

No. Although these tokens have the same functionality as a currency empowered coupon they are not recognised by banks and currency exchanges.

How many tokens do you and your staff hold?

From the first mint, that is the first block of 100 tokens made, I issued one token to myself and one each to the rest of the team. The purpose of this release was to test the workings of the system and to make certain that anyone/everyone could own tokens without the system being overly complicated. Today we still hold our ONE KBTs as they were first issued.

My confidence in this program tells me that I do not need more than one token, if the business goes well as I expect it could then in years to come my one token could be worth enough for me to buy that car that I have always dreamed of.

There must be a catch, what are you getting from this?

No catches at all actually, sometimes it's as simple as good businesses doing good things for their customers.

There is an age old saying that goes "Give something back so you can recieve more", it is Asian I think. It is the basic circle of life principle and it works for both us the business and you the customers.
