Bruery 2017 RS/HS Allocations

Any lucky PS-RS-HS back to back to back this year (one year at PS, one year at RS then a hoarders invite)?

 

@BruerJoel I found an error on my shipping address a couple of weeks ago and want to make sure I changed it before invites for HS and RS went out. Is there a way to check the address where my RS letter was sent?

 

Are letters sent to out of state members too?

 

I will admit this was a VERY welcome surprise...

Kudos to Team Bruery for an innovative new perk!

 

This was me: half a year in PS in 2016, joined RS this year, going to splurge for HS next year. I was kind of pleasantly surprised, and am very much so looking forward to HS this next year!

 

I am in my third year now.

 

Yay got my invite! Count me as another PS-RS-HS member.

 

Got a HS invite as well, after 4-5 years in RS. Haven't bought as much this year because I am out of cellar space, so I am thinking they expanded HS quite a bit?

 

These days with most beers be opened to HS if they aren't sold out I'm not sure if there is much difference between the levels now. Just based on posts from current and past HS members, most don't utilize the increased allocations. Other than that, we get the cuvée and depending on the year more anniversary tickets?

There are more beers included, but at a higher cost so that really doesn't matter, especially since RS would most likely get the option to buy more of anything included anyways.

 

I'm excited. I like the extra discount and allocations.

 

16 preservation . 17 reserve. And coming 2018 hoarders.

 

Really? I've purchased next-to-nothing this year and still received invite for renewal. I almost prefer to have received the boot.

 

Was it because they were not buying enough beer or because they were reselling bottles for profit? (I thought I read sonewhere that bottleshop owners had memberships and were buying exclusive bottles then putting them on the shelf for sale in their shops. Bruery found out and addressed it with revoking membership.)

Doesnt part of our membership also included the first rights of renewal/refusal the following year but they had to add a stipulation to it about having your membership taken away if you were reselling their beer? Wasnt that posted here or in a previous thread or am I imagining all this?

So far in 2017, I have only bought 25 bottles. If anyone wasnt going to get an invite back due to lack of purchasing, you think it would be me. But my Hoarder invite arrived in the mail yesterday.

 

They have stated a few times in the past, that (as of the time of that post) they don't boot anyone for fiscal reasons. I just bought a house 4 months ago, and leading up to it as well as on the backside of the purchase, you can imagine I've had a pretty light wallet.

They did state last year that they changed the terms of the system so that it was going to be necessarily automatic. I can imagine there are members out there who abuse their privilege and abuse the staff. Those are the kind of folks who don't need to get one.

I got my renewal in the mail yesterday and am excited to be back for another year. I love sharing the beers I get with friends and family. Especially those who may have not tried it before. Fun to get to introduce people to new beers. Cheers to all those joining Hoarders in 2018!

 

Couldn't you just email the society desk? It's the same email address that sends us all of the allocations, annoucements, etc.

Have to agree there is very little difference in the way of beer selection and that the allocation increase is not very relevant. However, in addition to the Anniversary party, the BT release ticket allocation to 4 for Hoarders is pretty awesome this year! A little concerned since they have to allocate enough tickets for the 4 Hoarder tickets and all of the people who have collected stamps from the Society Monday's. They are either going to have to dilute the party itself to accommodate more people, or have multiple parties and increase the price.

 

I live in southern Oregon and got my HS renewal card yesterday.

 

I got my HS renewal letter yesterday. I'm in San Antonio

 

You bet! Drop me a beermail or email with your email address and first name / last name on the account.

 

Any tasting notes on white chocolate and cherries? Would love to get some information on this one!
