    I hope you're right, I've just personally never been able to tell much difference.

    As far as getting your money's worth.

    Included 2016 bottles and price (remember there is mark up on these already)
    Drunken Mornings $15
    Pineapple Verdure $10
    Passionfruit Verdure $10
    Resolute x2 $36
    Total $71

    Leaving $79 for a 32oz growler, granted it's powder coated stainless steel.

    How many were included with the membership? 7 bottles? Do we still have remaining included bottles yet to be announced?

    Pineapple Verdure is not one of the included and you are missing the last 2 that have yet to to open up for order. Here is the complete list of both included and exclusives. Can't recall retail on them all but your $$ looks right
    INCLUDED (2016)
    - Squealer ($39 retail)
    - Drunken Mornings
    - Dalliance
    - Verdure w/ Pineapple
    - Fire Thief
    - Crimson Lake
    - Resolute x2

    EXCLUSIVES (purchased separately)
    - Daylight Cravings (coconut vanilla)
    - Gilt
    - Great Debate (chocolate mint)
    - Great Debate (BBA chocolate mint)
    - Great Debate (apple brandy
    - Gilt

    - Resolute variant #1

    Edit to the above. Passionfruit Verdure was the one not included. It was an extra for purchase.

    Maybe I missed it but what is Fire Theif and Aggregate Species?

    And what happened to
    • Almond/Vanilla Daylight Cravings
    • Barrel Aged Dairyère

    They were mentioned in the 8/16 email that went out
    - Fire Thief: Smoked Imperial Stout (included bottle)
    - Crimson Lake: Carmine, sour red, with raspberries (included bottle)
    - Aggregate Species: sour brown with blackberries and currants (exclusive bottle for purchase)

    Adam made post in the fb group earlier this week that Fire Thief and Crimson Lake should be ready for pickup in time for Resolute Day. Since there was the whole "why do we need to order an included bottle" these won't need to be ordered on the website. Guessing it will come out in an email and posted on the fb page. You'll just pick them up in the taproom when ready and sign that you received them. Aggregate Species needs about a month longer in the barrels and then they need time to package so this will likely not be ready until after Resolute Day.

    - Almond/Vanilla Daylight Cravings was replaced with Coconut/Vanilla DC. Adam posted in the fb group page back in March and the consensus was this was an okay substitute

    - Barrel Aged Dairyère - never really heard much on that other than what they mentioned was tentative for this year.

    Lol did you just leak information yet to be announced? I haven't heard of anything about Fire Thief, Crimson Lake or Aggregate

    Ah ok, for the most part I just quickly glance at the email unless I know I need to do something with them.

    I did see where he said that they should be ready for pickup in time for Resolute Day.

    Damn I must of missed that in the FB group- I will admit I don't pay much attention to the group either lol

    If he knew about it, it had to be announced already.

    See the note about referring to the 8/16/16 email Bros sent out. Also, if you take some time to read the posts (and comments) within the fb group, Bros (Adam usually) will sometimes drop teasers ahead of time.

    I thought I had been following closely on facebook. I don't get the emails anymore and when I followed the directions they gave me to get back on the mailing list it never worked. I just scanned the group again from my phone app and didn't see a single email reference to the bottles you named. I'm not saying the information hasn't been announced and I'm sure once I'm able to get on my laptop it will likely be easier to track down.

    Bros posted in the fb group last night that Dalliance bottles are ready to pickup as of yesterday.

    Bros just announced NO 2nd round of ordering for extra bottles of Double Barrel. And don't forget ONLY Resolute and variants can be picked up Sat (you do not need to schedule the pickup.) all other bottles will need to be picked up Fri, Sun or a date no later the md-Jan deadline.

    Where were you able to find this listed? Just a Horizon Society email?
