Bruery 2016 RS/HS Allocations

As always, thanks for the info Matt!

I feel like my 7 bottles are pretty solid, especially if what OP posted is correct for reserve. Hopefully I'm right about Room for Me as being the next two...but that isn't listed as an included beer. Odd thing is, unless they release this new BT variant, all of those other beers shouldn't be ready yet. I guess we will find out in the next week or so. I would hope they wouldn't drop MW and a new variant in the same month though.

 

I just hope the allocation on Room For Me is deep. I'm going to need a lot of that one

 

^ This. Need enough to drink AND fill a medium-sized pool too.

 

just saw the email go out saying poterie is in the initial allocation. dont the anniversary beers usually come out in april/may?

 

Was that for Hoarders? My reserve email said
2 bottles of Mocha Wednesday
Chron 6 Wee Heavy
Les Ronces

 

Three bottles of Mocha Wednesday™
Two bottles of Chronology Series™: 6 Months (2nd Edition - Wee Heavy)
Two bottles of Scotch Barrel-Aged Poterie™
Two bottles of Les Ronces™

I might be mistaken but isn't Poterie the next Anny beer? Seems like that should be a May beer

 

BT VARIANTS?

 

Pretty sure they're not all available at once guys. Once they become available, then you get your allocated (insert beers) that come with the membership.

 

I got that same email saying I'd be getting my initial allocation of 2 Mocha Wednesday, Chron 6 and Les Ronces. How does this work vs. Preservation Society? Are all of those covered under the yearly cost?

 

These initial allocations are covered under the yearly cost, since they were outlined prior to sign-up. There are still five more bottles to be allocated over the course of the year. Additionally, the up-front cost gives you the ability to purchase other beers non-RS members can't.

PS is just a quarterly, recurring membership where you pay for those three and every so often, some beers trickle down from RS/HS that can you also pay for.

 

Yes, these beers are included in your membership fee.

Monday, Jan 4th, we should find out what the Jan allocation is (beers available for you to purchase)

 

I'm assuming the allocations are going to be:

Mocha Wednesday
Les Ronces
Chronology II
& something like Or Xata

 

@mattolesh - care to chime in? Is the Poterie the anniversary beer and hoarders are just getting the scotch barrel version earlier than the actual anniversary release in May?

 

So glad they aren't allowing me to pick up my bottles that are available for pick up on Monday. I will randomly be in the area for work and was hoping to pick up my old allocations.
I understand they will be busier on Monday but if I let them know now I don't understand why it is so difficult to give me 15-20 bottles I have waiting for pick up. Picking up this years welcome package should take 30 seconds, find the person in the computer, print and sign and then hand the person the 4 bottle for reserve. I am sure they will have them prepackaged, if not they should consider it now to save them time on Monday. I personally will not pick up my welcome package on Monday because I don't want to waste my time in a line when I will have to do it again when I get my old allocations, unless Les Ronces is some amazing beer I need to drink ASAP.

 

Yeah, about that. Check your inbox.

 

Ouch. What a bummer. Not that I was going to pick up my beers on Monday, but this will lead to the perception that they still don't have their act fully together on the Terruex side of the house...

 

Did they come back and say something else? I didn't get a follow up email for hoarders...

 

Its also not just that. For included bottles they have to find you that binder and then have you sign all of that stuff too. Considering how insane it was last year on the first SMM I'm not surprised they are doing it this way.

 

From a few minutes ago:
Les Ronces is a Step Behind
We're excited about your initial package, and we bet you are too. One of the beers, Les Ronces™, just recently told us it would be ready to include as part of your initial package. But we need an extra week to get it into your hands. The other beers in your initial package will be ready as intended starting Sunday. Les Ronces will be ready for pickup or delivery starting on Monday, January 11. Thanks, in advance, for your understanding. Like many of our sour and wild beers, it'll be worth the wait!

 

Weird hoarders didn't get this...or maybe it was just me. Did any other hoarders get the email?
