Bruery 2016 RS/HS Allocations

I'm a bit of a cooler hoarder myself. I have some yetis and some rtics. Save your coin and get an rtic. Same cooler. Same plant and insulation. Different mold pattern.

However if you ball hard for shares and need a good cooler. My Yeti 50 is solid. Taller so it holds the corked and bombers easier and you can really load it up.

 

My rtic soft can still have ice in it after 4 days of sitting outside. The hard sides I've gotten close to 6.

 

So on topic- what do we know for sure to drop next month?

Also- good shot at second chance for chocolate rain?

 

Stands up to the heat here in South Texas quite well. Ice will last the whole day.

 

These guys obviously don't care about taking proper care of their beer.

 

This sounds delicious!! I also like artwork on it

 

So the beers with labels are:
Mash & Vanilla
Frucht: Blueberry
Melange 15
SITR with pineapple and coconut (this is included in our package so chances to pick up 5 or 10 bottles depending on your society)
The Traveling Plum
Deinde Repido

That makes six. The first four were listed on the last society e-mail. I would assume that the last two are included in the new brands part of that under Terreux.

 

I guess that's a better name than the alternative - "The Prune Movement"

 

Considering a prune is just a dried plum...

 

I myself did not like the scotch12. Lost a lot of the flavor of the scotch6. After having the scotch6 I was totally waiting for scotch12 and if I remember it was just a lot of barrel flavor.
Just my personal preference though.

 

Bought 2 Yumberrys, will I regret not buying more?

 

based on Apricot and Passion fruit....yes

 

My rule is five each, and I'm already regretting that since I didn't get Passionfruit until recently. Might step it up to 10 each to be sure.

 

i came to this page and asked a question about the growler bag but now that i'm here i'm wondering, how much do you guys spend a year from the bruery? I love Bruery beer, but being in Ohio I don't see the benefit of being a member, especially having no friends in the area.

Also, my wife would kill me if i spent as much as i'd expect you guys will say.

 

First rule of Hoarders society, don't talk about how much you spend on Hoarders Society.

 

The first rule is to not look at the dollar amounts in your order history

Edit: well maybe one of the rules...

 

It's (nearly) prohibitively expensive. Living in the midwest now, my wife accepts my Bruery dealings only because I joined when we lived in CA and I haven't been able to give it up. She also loves the beer too. Even then, sometimes it's a sore subject.

Just the join fee is $300 for RS (you get beer for it obviously, but it's a significant outlay). Consider this month - If you maxed on Chron, CR, Sans Pagaie, and Yumberry, $367 plus tax, plus however you'd figure out shipping being out of state. It's a pricey endeavor.

 

Honestly, it depends on how much money you have to spend on said beer. Just because something gets released doesn't mean I'm going to buy it.

I'm a poor engineering student so I rarely buy more than three of anything, except Black Tuesday and the anniversary beers, I save for those since they're two of my favorite beers. But, there's plenty of people out there with throwaway income/an addiction to craft beer.

 

I'm in the lowest tier membership, Preservation, and have spent over a grand on Bruery beer in the last year. That's chump change compared to what these Reserve and Hoarders spend. I'm scared for next year when I'm, hopefully, in Reserve. Shits going to be out of control haha.

 

The worst part is going back over the years you have been a member and adding up the orders and realizing how nice of a car or multiple overseas vacations you could have taken. =P
