Bruery 2017 RS/HS Allocations

lol

 

Maybe it has peaches too? Meh, it'll still be good.

 

Well, the label seems to show just two nectarines. So more may just be more nectarines. Not different.

 

My friend befriended a Hoarder who grabbed us pours in the taproom two weeks ago (whose name I cant recall sorry) and he seemed confident it was just a version w/ more nectarines but hey... i'm a guy on the internet citing a stranger whose name I can't remember so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

Per untappd:

This limited release barrel-aged sour ale features over 2,300 lbs. of stonefruit from our friends at Masumoto Family Farm. After hand-cutting the juicy, ripe fruit with care at Bruery Terreux, we split a portion of our oak-aged sour blonde ale into two components: one to age a combination of three varietals of peaches (Flavorcrest, Spring Lady and Suncrest); the other to age a combination of four varietals of nectarines (Le Grand, Rose Diamond, Spring Bright and Summer Grand). After both components aged with the fruit and underwent a secondary fermentation from the additions, we blended them back together to achieve the ideal tangy flavor (and a satisfying, fuzzy feeling). Grab a glass and pull up a chair - we present to you Room for More

 

That sounds amazing... like Spontaneous Cheer amazing... wishful thinking, I know.

If it's a .000001% improvement on Room For Me, it's a win for all of us.

 

You were saying? Three peach varietals, four nectarines. I guess you could say it's the same, but that would be like saying every beer from the sour blonde base is the same. Rueuze, Beauregarde, Filmishmish, Sans Pagaie, Frambulous, Ruebarb, Mother Funker, GFAR, Les Ronces, Rue Sans, Sourrento, etc. Actually, I'm curious how many beers share that base? Seems like a lot.

And I'm just hassling you. I honestly wasn't sure of the difference but figured it was something more than 'extra fruit'.

 

I am looking forward to this year. I recently moved to Placentia and found The Bruery. Are there any other forums i should know about. Thanks

 

For those that typically deal with The Bruery shipping your allotments or merchandise orders. Do you get an email confirming when It ships?

I can't find anywhere on the site if the two glasses I bought during the 12 day sale has shipped or not.

 

Between Bruery, Bottle Logic, and Mr K's you could spend a small fortune.

 

I have never had them ship but recall reading that shipping notifications have been absent since the website switched over so they may be well on the way.

 

Ever since the website "upgrades" I haven't received any confirmation of shipments. Stuff just shows up at the door.

 

The Giant-sized glass that I bought during 12 days arrived today. No notification beforehand.

 

Thank you. Man do I hope this stuff gets fixed soon.

 

I was able to get a PDF emailed to me of 73 pages of invoices, which was bad ass. They also noted what orders were still awaiting pickup, however those versus what my trustee has ready to send still don't jive. I'm guessing I'll do a second recount when they arrive then go from there. But for those curious you can get old invoices sent to you, but I'd suggest as noted prior to just print a copy of each one and hold them for a bit.

 

if you enjoy complaining about minutiae this is the right forum for you

 

Ain't that the truth.

 

@BruerJoel I really wish you guys would reconsider not giving out old allocations this week. Maybe the first weekend, but a week is kind of excessive. I make it down there about a half dozen times a year and it is only when I am in the area for work, typically around opening time. I would understand if I was getting dozens of cases but I have less than a case spread over 5 beers, most of my beers are included beers from last years allocations, so it can't be that difficult to box up.
Last year you guys said the same thing but made exceptions for some people. I also highly doubt there are people just standing in long line waiting for their new allocations, if there is a line out the door when I drive by the fulfillment center I will take back my comments, but I doubt it will be true.

 

Maybe email the society.

 

There was a line outside the door on the first day, Jan. 2, at opening. It moved very fast, and I would be surprised if there was still a line by the 3rd day (today).
