    I meant in regards to benefits you received as RS in 2016, compared 2017.

    ^ Not really a benefit, but allocations have been shortened to only the first week I believe.

    Also, you get a pin.

    You are not required to but anything additional in Reserve.

    I know I'm not required...but I'm also not required to eat responsibly at buffets.
    It's hard to turn down bottles.

    LOL...cool. I'll wear it to fancy events and act annoyed when people ask me about it, and get mad at those that don't.

    I'm HS, and I can tell you the only thing that's really different, besides the website, is the allocation pickup time. Everything is pretty much the same.

    And about screwing yourself: I much prefer RS/HS since I can pick and choose which bottles and how much of said bottles I want. I won't get a sour I probably won't drink, but I can get 2-3 bottles of something I really want, like Chocolate Rain.

    Also, welcome to RS, the ability to pick up your bottles whenever is pretty fantastic.

    The 10 awesome included bottles for RS at $300 is worth it alone, verses the 12 decent bottles for $240 in PS.

    No, I get the difference between RS and PS. I was just wondering about changes with in RS from this year to next year. I wouldn't have spent the money if I thought it was a waste. Just asking.

    Thanks. By the way, I meant screwing myself in regards to how much more I'll be spending with access to better and more stuff. The only person who thinks thats a bad thing is my wallet, and the wife.

    Sorry, I'm sure this has been asked a million times, but are the 10 bottles given randomly or on set schedules like PS. *Veteran RS and HS members mutter "FNG" after reading my post

    "Ready, when their ready."

    Kinda like Grey Monday this year.....it is about 3ish months overdue from past years but obviously that beer is being a drama queen and just not quite ready yet. Soon(tm).

    As always, thanks Reaper for passing that knowledge. Hope to meet many of you at next year's Anniversary and BT party. Funny, it feels like joining the Stone Cutters in a way. Mostly because I know of a guy (Don't really talk to him, long story), who works the mail room and covers the reception desk, but he's in RS (wears the shirts, sweaters, and has the growler.) Even though I vastly out rank him here, I feel like as an RS newb, he out ranks me. Like Lenny and Carl with Mr. Burns.

    The included bottles are not on any set schedule. They become available when they are deemed ready. Using this year as an example:

    The initial package, available in January 2016:

    • 2 bottles of Mocha Wednesday
    • Chronology Series™: 6 Months (2nd Edition - Wee Heavy)
    • Les Ronces (Boysenberry Sour Blonde)
    Available later in 2016, upon announcement:
    • 2 bottles of Black Tuesday®
    • 2 bottles of Barrel-aged 8 Maids-a-Milking
    • Sour in the Rye® with Pineapple & Coconut
    The "Available Later in 2016" bottles have not yet been released.
    If you check back to the first post inthis thread you can see what each months allocation was.

    However, with Reserve you have a much longer period within which you can pick them up then a Preservation member. So you can wait until you have enough bottles to make it worth the trip or shipping.

    Can anyone find out what is in 9 ladies dancing? All I see on the bruery store is tiramisu, which I assume is just vanilla, coco, and coffee, but I can't confirm this.

    No, I stopped once I saw 800 black tuesday for the black tuesday party. The label on their site has the label in tiny font and I can't figure out how to make the label larger on the new site. Thanks for the answer.

    Do you think I am going to go back 50 pages to try and find it, when I am sure many of you know it by heart?

    50 pages? Maybe 10. And, a quick google search landed a ton of label pics too. But if you'd prefer someone to hold your hand I suppose this is the site for it.
