Bruery 2017 RS/HS Allocations

All I read from this is, "HS Members: troll troll troll troll, troll trollolololololololol. But yeah... Troll."

 

yes, indeed!

I wanted to try the beret w/peach & vanilla. but it had just kicked a few minutes before I got there. I was sad, but only for a moment. Once I was drinking Befuddlement ( and PB Thursday) I was happy again.

 

Someone call me?

 

Hoarders Terreux Cuvee was terrible, went straight into the sink.

 

I'm curious how traceable that is to the level of sourness we taste in the final product. Since sweet and sour can balance each other it would be interesting to know how the residual sugars impact the perceived sourness. It's interesting info but I don't know how informative it is.

I hope you slit your wrists cutting the wax off of those Hoarder's Cuvees. Is that the reply you were looking for?

 

Grey Monday went fast...bummer

 

I missed out on it too, but I'm hoping they have some at the anniversary!

Speaking of that, do they usually announce a beer list of what they plan to have, as well as what the guest taps will be?

 

Probably b/c PS got access to it as well.

 

Exactly. I wonder what their limit was?

 

Yeah, bummed about GM as well. Missed the email and the IG post said nothing about it.

Yes, usually a complete list of bruery offerings is emailed a couple of days prior to the party. They also list some, but not all, of the guest pours.

 

I'm bummed that I missed out on Grey Monday.

I'm a new Hoarder this year and with all the allocations I have, I could never max out like I did as a Reserve last year.

 

What are people's feelings towards melange #1? I grabbed a bottle of 2013 bc I've never had it and 4 years seems like enough time to let the alcohol from BT mellow and the funk from OT to develop.

 

It's amazing, one of my all time favorite blends. I have a 14 aging but just opened a 2016 and it's SO good fresh, I can only imagine what the aging does to it.

 

I managed to snag a couple of Grey Mondays, a 14 Melange and a Hoarder Cuvee (that apparently isn't good...) yesterday. This month is putting a hurting on my wallet.

 

Saw all of the bad opinions of Terreux Hoarders Cuvee. What was it that people hated about it? The ingredient list actually looked pretty good. I ended up buying one bottle yesterday.

 

Not sure where the negative reviews come from. I saw the ingredient list when we were offered it last year and pretty much just took what I was given from my membership. Tried it at the tasting room and instantly regretted not purchasing more. Everything worked together, it was weird...I never thought those flavors would blend well.

 

The Terreux Hoarders Cuvee is definitely a polarizing beer. I personally enjoyed it, the wheatwine really balanced out the tartness.

 

"Balanced out the tartness" sounds like a personal negative for me! I did snag one bottle of it and well as a few more Room for Mores.
