Bruery 2015 RS/HS Allocations

Wanderer gone?

 

2011 and 2012 were 7.8%, 2013 was 8.7% and had a burnt orange/yellow cap. Im not sure about 2014 as I dont have any in my cellar, but that was the year that they started bottle dating.

Im actually not sure which one is 2011 and which one is 2012 now, as one has a blank silver cap and one has a standard Bruery cap. Anyone know? I think the blank cap is 2012.

 

Well this throws me off.
Off Rate beer

2010: 10% ABV.
2011: 8.7% ABV.
2012: 8.8% ABV.
2013: 7.8% ABV.
2014: 7.6% ABV.

 

There was no 2010 bottling I believe. First was 2011 with 1 bottle per RS member so 290 bottles approx. The label was a darker color of yellow/orange than 2012. I still have my bottle from 2011!

 

Wanderer sold out fast. Damn.

 

Check again.

 

The Wanderer always sells out fast, it's a highly sought after beer. Unfortunately, I think it's past its prime. The two bottles I've had recently were very acidic and resembled vinegar. Kind of a bummer, because it was a great beer. I skipped it at the Terreux event, but my girlfriend got it and it tasted slightly better. So, who knows?

 

Les Ronces the Sour Blonde with Boysenberries to kickoff 2016 sounds great.

 

I opened a bottle of Wanderer b2 a few months back it was excellent. Maybe I should open another soon to check.

 

Had both b1 and b2 on draft at City Beer Store a few months ago. Would definitely agree on the assessment of b1. B2 was still drinking well, but it was all cherry to me, I didn't get any blackberry. Made me think I should crack my b2 bottle soon, but I've yet to do it.

 

Happened to open up a Wanderer last night and we all thought it was fantastic

 

This is definitely wrong, as I have two different vintages that are 7.8%. Perhaps it is a typo and 2012 should say 7.8% not 8.8%. Here is a pic of 2011, 2012, and 2013 (not necessarily in the right order):

and a pic showing their caps:

 

Correct about there being no 2010 bottling. It was on draft fall of 2009, but I dont remember the listed abv.

The 2011 RS had about 700-750 members if I recall correctly, so that many bottles of 2011 were released.

 

The blank cap is 2012.

 

ok so it goes:
2011: 8.7%, orange cap
2012: 7.8%, blank cap
2013: 7.8%, standard (yellow) cap

 

Wow that's really cool. Nice to hear about peopel giving instead of just hoarding.

 

Thank you!

 

yeah, a fruited sour blonde. It's almost like they were listening...

 

I have three blank caps, 7.8%, that I swear are 2013, because they were bought in '13 when it released. My '14s are dated, 7.6%, and have standard caps.

 

Anyone at the tasting room right now know if there are any bottles of Tart of Darkness with Cherries and Vanilla left for sale? And how much?
