Latest Bruery HS/RS Allocations

Very excite already bought my 4!

 

So much Chocolate Rain! I am pleased.

 

The ABV dropped from 19.5% last year to 18% this year. They can spout their silly excuses about "barrel variation" and "variable attenuation" all they want, but it's clear they're simply watering down the beer to create extra volume. Such bullshit.




Seriously though, nice to see 4 bottles for the RS, definitely a good sign about the allocation numbers for the heavy hitters that everyone wants to max out on.

 

Any thoughts on the Saison? Have they made anything similar recently for the taproom?

 

I was told that they typically use the lower ABV barrels of BT for the flavored versions, in order to help keep BT itself as high as possible.

 

We haven't made/served anything similar recently in the Tasting Room, but I'm working on getting Society-Member-Only kegs of both Saison Tonnellerie and Chocolate Rain pretty soon .

 

awesome, ordered 4 cr and 2 of those saisons. $30 for tax and ship isnt too bad i guess, good thing we get some type of dicount. 190 aint chump change tho, but this is one ive been waiting for

 

I was being completely sarcastic. I would suspect that their barrel selections for BT and its variants isn't strictly a question of ABV, as various barrels will end up tasting like they're better suited to specific flavor additions, but I wouldn't be surprised if ABV comes into play as a tertiary factor.

 

Chocolate Rain is higher ABV than BT.

 

so if 1 cr is already included in the membership i can buy 4 more? Or 1 included and buy 3 to make 4 total?


either way i bought 4 today...so didn't know if i bought 1 too many...

 

1 included + purchase up to 4.

 

thanks...I'm new this year

 

Forgive me if this is a stupid question or has been answered elsewhere, but the email says they'll be a available until 4/26. There's no chance they'll 'sell out' prior to that date, right? I may need to wait a couple weeks before I can purchase.

 

i am in this boat as well. bad timing with a couple other big expenses hitting at the same time. if they say you can buy up to that date, im rolling with the assumption that my bottles are reserved for purchase until that date

 

Yes you can order any time up until the 26th without fear of them selling out.

 

This is my first year in the RS as well. Does that one included become available when the allocations are, or is there another set that will be out at some point like the initiation package where you get 3 things together as sort of a quarterly offering?

Already bought my 4, no sense in holding off if I know I am going to be spending on them anyways and risk being late.

 

We apply appropriate bottle limits per allocation that ensure each member will have guaranteed access to the beer during the sales-window. You will be safe waiting a few weeks to purchase if that's more comfortable financially.

(Before I'm corrected, I will say... the exception was Griffon, which was a one-time issue of not having enough beer to go around.)

 

When is the first date these would ship?

 

The included bottles become available at the same time as the purchased bottles.
