    PB&J was great, and I'm not a huge fan of fruit in stouts. Looking forward to just a PB version.

    I am glad they kept it simple as well. Hopefully it tastes great and can then serve as a starting off point for all kinds of good blends. PB+CR sounds damn fine to me. PB+Beauregard sounds like it could be good as well.

    Replace "J" with "Thursday". It really doesn't work, which I think is where @Black_Rider is coming from (and I agree with that). I mean, they rhyme phonetically ("jay" and "Thursday"). But you can't replace one syllable with two. They should have just named it "PB Thursday" or something.

    The name will for sure make the beer taste worse...

    Any more word on this?

    Just looked at Untappd for general S.H.I.T. and 2016 S.H.I.T. and it seems like quite a few (nearly 20%) of check-ins mentions infection.

    If you've had an issue with So Happens Its Tuesday, eMail [email protected] and we'll take care of you. We have not found these issues to be tied to a certain batch, so we're unable to make a blanket statement about every bottle of a particular batch. If you still have bottles, there's a good chance they'll taste as intended. If not, let us know after trying them.

    Cheers,
    Patrick

    Has anyone had a bad experience with White Mocha bottles?

    I just opened one a few nights ago and it tasted a bit sour... didn't taste bad exactly, but tasted like it could have been turning. Not sure if it just has a bit of a tangy taste, which is what I was getting, but it did taste markedly more "tart" than White Chocolate.

    Cheers!

    I had a problem with a bottle and it was refunded quickly.

    Plenty of exclusive beers get sold for special events that non-RS/HS can buy, most notably the anniversary sales and the Christmas sales.

    It also has boysenberry which would be the jelly.

    My boot glass was on my doorstep tonight when I got home. It would appear that shipping notifications may be a thing of the past. @BruerJoel?

    Yeah, I think we can all agree there are two major issues with the new site and one major issue with the new process that needs to be reviewed.

    Site issues:
    1) We need to be able to see pending pickup items. Knowing what was ordered but not yet picked up is critical for planning shippers for those that ship. For those that don't we stil need to have that visibility.

    2). When orders ship a notification should be sent out. That happened before, why not now? It's either a site issue or a process issue. Either way it really should be fixed.

    Process issue:
    1) Only having one week to order allocations seems extremely inconvenient. Especially for those on the fence items where people wait for reviews to come in. Without time to get reviews and solicit feedback, people will inevitably buy less. Just the rules of how things work. People are typically risk averse, why buy an unknown?

    @BruerJoel can you comment on these three issues? The two site issues I would expect to be fixed and letting us know it's in the works would be a bit of good news. The one week allocation I think is potentially alienating your core customers and should maybe be reconsidered.:rolling_eyes:

    Cheers,
    -Jeff

    It shouldn't but there is a legion of folks with marketing, psychology, sociology and other degrees that can demonstrate that it does.

    The new site is awful when ordering.

    I split orders with a friend and it's hard to separate orders now based on purchases and to see what's left for pickup.

    Just confusing and awful. Also my glasses shipped and Zero notification or tracking. Odd changes.

    The one week doesn't bother me but it'll have me buying less for sure. Also forgetting to buy an allocation, I see that happening as well.

    But please fix the site !!
