Bruery 2017 RS/HS Allocations

For what its worth.

The bottle opener and the pin were not selling points for me.

Used the bottle opener once, but its headed for an unused swag draw with the pin and the stickers.

The RS glassware is fine. Used it, will continue to do so, but also not a selling point.

Odd as it may seem (dry humor warning), the selling point was the beer, the service, and the events.

It is a bummer that the bottle opener it breaking on people, but I think I mourn White Oak more then a bottle opener

 

I'd take a nice opener over White Oak any day...

 

But still, included merchandise should be usable, right?

Otherwise why give it? Just remove all of it and give us one or two more beers.

 

Its infected

 

I heard they didn't pasteurize the walnut openers lol

 

I also heard they were the same walnuts used in melange 15

 

Problem is they did a PB&J on draft and there was LOADS of PB in there. I think thats sadly the problem. Anyone local who tried that got their hopes up, because frankly that beer was amazing. Then to have such little PB in the actual bottle was a big let down.

 

I've never had PB&T (have some bottles coming.... Eventually), but is it possible that it may have separated and settled to the bottom? Maybe swirling it before pouring may help? Just spit balling, I have no idea.

 

Mine broke off the top of the bottle, shards of glass with bottle cap still attached. The design is poorly executed. I hope they scrap this idea for next year.

 

This. The PB&J at FWIBF was amazing and we all were hoping that this would make it to bottles.

 

While I'm the last to complain, I was a little irritated to receive the welcome package today and see that the $25 large shipper is only 10x8x8. That's a damn small box in my opinion. ULine is expensive as hell, but I really think a box that size should be marked up less. I also didn't get everything that was included, but they're squaring that up.

The beers though speak for themselves and a little nitpicking doesn't change why I'm happy to drop $695 plus a shit ton more every month.

 

Not sure if you are referring to Out of the Lunch Box on Nitro but that is a straight up PB&J sandwich. Tons of PB flavor

 

The Reserve and Hoarders kleen kanteen howlers are back up for sale.

 

No, they did an actual PB&J black tuesday on draft. The J was bosyenberry. It was one of the best beers they did last year.

 

Heads up.
Bruery will be closed a couple of days...read your email.
I'm bummed I was supposed to finally make it up there on Monday for the first time this year....

 

After all these stories about the opener, I'm gonna go ahead and throw mine away now.

 

Haven't been there for a few weeks, reviewed last 3 pages, but just saw that one picture of the broken opener and a story about a broken bottle (?) Was that one a joke or for real?

 

I've used it a couple times myself and have found it hard to get the cap off. I'll be going back to my much more reliable Yopener.

 

Well that sucks. I was hoping that the Bruery one would be something of an improved yopener (which I also use on daily basis)

 

Nope. There has been a few stories of that happening in here.

Also, bravo good sir for reading the last few pages before jumping in and asking the same questions over and over! We salute you!
