Bruery 2015 RS/HS Allocations

We're gonna need a DD/Uber gentlemen @Justinsosmart @treshojas @indian_pale_ale

 

I actually did as well. It was just not my regular credit card...it was 12/23.

 

Was it the first time they had a cherry sour from The Bruery? I have always thought that their cherry offerings (OTwC, Sans Pagaie, ToDwCaV) have substantially more pucker to them.

 

More pucker the better IMO. I wish ToD with Cherries had Upland sourness.

 

Upland is on another level of pucker. Never had anything that sour. I still enjoyed its intensity though.

 

BRING ON THE PUCKER!

 

you could just get chronology 12...

 

Most Bruery sours are highly acetic (a tribute that they did not always have but which seems to have taken over a few years ago). I count it as a flaw, but at this point I think they would have to completely start over with their sour barreling program to eliminate it. I still really like their sours and drink them regularly, but truth be told I would prefer if they had less acetic. Its not an "infection" per se, but more of a "house character."

 

Ignis bottles weren't all infected, I had several that were fine, only one was off in flavor. I don't think they'd refund all the bottles since it was maybe 20% of the batch that actually went bad.

ToD Vanilla was mindblowing, I highly doubt they had problems with it, and if so maybe just a few bottles at the end of a batch or something. I know people are always eager to call the Bruery out the minute a bottle is off, but you have to assume once in a while, even with the best QC, one bottle out of a thousand will have issues. Every brewery out there has that happen.

 

I had an infected Ingus and they replaced it. I haven't tried new the one yet.

 

I'm having one tonight. I'll reports back if it is as such.

 

From the Tasting Room Instagram looks like the Hours have changed to 12-10 everyday for pours and pickups starting 3/1.

 

Awesome awesome awesome news. I was picking up on Fridays early because I could get some tastes in but traffic was always hell.

 

awesome.

this will revolutionize my playing-hookey-from-work days

 

Hey guys,

We have received a few reports of "bad" or "off" Ignis Fatuus bottles and have seen a couple more "reported" here. We have researched the information we have, and our current understanding is that there may be a small portion of the beers showing off flavors.

If you have tried a bottle recently that didn't taste as it should, please reach out to us at [email protected] so we can find a way to make this up to you. If you have the bottle code handy, please include that in the email so we can track the lots.

Cheers,
Matt

 

Is Or Xata gone for anyone else?

 

Yup. I tried as soon as I got the allocations email today.

 

Well that is weird. I bought it a couple hours ago and tried to get another and now it's gone.

 

Jardinier is also missing for me

 

Jardinier is also currently not on the site.

Edit: Jamesar beat me to it.
