Bruery 2016 RS/HS Allocations

Same here. Then I got excited that it might be a hoarder invite and I checked for that. No go. Wahhhh wahhhhh.

 

Man, this is tempting. I'm already gonna be on vacation so I could fly out for the day, pick up some beers, hit FedEx, hit the party, stumble to a hotel within walking distance and then fly back the next day. I'm just not sure if it's worth 750 bucks but I'd save on shipping so call it 600. And if I really want to be a cheap ass I could fly back with a few shippers for free.

 

Its better than 2014 and 2015.

 

2012 Black Tuesday Party was what got me into this shit... That party included a bottle of black tuesday and I believe it was $70-$75. The parties from 2012 - 2015 have all been 6-7 pours.

6-7 pours of 19+ % beer is borderline pushing it on a Tuesday Evening. I can't wait to see and hear all the stories about the people that couldn't handle "Black Tuesday".

 

Need to fix the website so I can see my entire order history. Going back 4 months is not enough...

 

I'm new to this, but how do I go about finding a bottle of black Tuesday? Last year I wasn't into the scene.

 

Join The Bruery's Preservation Society and you will be guaranteed the opportunity to buy 3 bottles of Black Tuesday and they will mail those bottles anywhere you want in CA.

How much was the BT party last year? I went to order history and it doesn't go past July 2016.

I would rather have limited pours and pay a lower price IMO.

 

Feel like they only had a handful of variants last year, 25 is a huge upgrade

 

$55 according to last year's email. Not a huge markup for an upgrade to all-you-can-eat.

 

I don't understand how this party costs more than the anniversary party. This is my first year so I'm not sure what last years party was compared to this years. Was really looking forward to it all year, but the price seems a little ridiculous.

 

Last year, by comparison, was about $20 less but we were also limited on the # of pours we could get. There was also maybe only a dozen different BT variants there with 1 of them being a HS-only pour.

Edit: Found the email, this is from the 2015 BT party

So if we didn't renew for RS, there's still a second chance on oct. 3?

 

No, the PS gets next chance at it, then it goes to public (if there is any spots open for each). At least that is the way it's been done before. If you didn't renew, you're basically at the back of the list again as far as I know.

 

They told me that 2016 RS members who did not renew within timeline will have the opportunity to renew when it goes live for PS members on Monday.

I was on the fence and decided to pull the trigger late last night to renew, but I was unable to complete my purchase on my iPhone (the new site layout seems terrible when ordering). I e-mailed them after that happened and was told I can try again Monday. I was hoping they would help me out, but now I don't think I will renew based on their response earlier this morning.

Sorry for the rant.

 

So, you're pissed because after they gave you an entire month and you dragged your heels, you don't get a chance again until Monday? Your world must be very accommodating then, or you're just that entitled.

 

Yeah, that's how I interpreted their post, as the oct. 3 window being a non-guaranteed opportunity to buy it again. It didn't sell out til like Wednesday or Thursday last year so there should be no issue.

 

FYI - if you're in San Francisco, Fat Angel is having a cellar sale right now. Lots of Bruery stuff (and other breweries). Good prices.

 

Agreed, value is there but just not for me considering its a weeknight.
