Bruery 2017 RS/HS Allocations

Probably the most pertinent information for people here.

ALREADY SIGNED UP FOR 2018?
Our members are the cornerstone of our success. To those who have already signed up for 2018, thank you! Those who joined Reserve Society - CA and Reserve Society - DC will be placed into the 2018 Reserve Society that features a mix of included bottles from The Bruery and Bruery Terreux, including a brand new key lime pie sour that was previously unlisted.

If you previously joined the 2018 Reserve Society and prefer to be moved into one of the other clubs - only barrel-aged beers from The Bruery OR only sour & wild beers from Bruery Terreux - just reply to this email and let us know by Monday, November 13. We’ll be happy to make the change! We’ll also move you into a payment plan ($14 extra), if you prefer.

 

@BruerJoel can you clarify that this is a Reserve only option and that there isn't a similar option for Hoarders? I'm upgrading to Hoarder in 2018 but not sure if this message went to everyone or if I received as 2017 Reserve.

@PMR awesome message and very cool that you've all worked to create this flexibility. Thanks!

 

With this, innovation will go down. Expect to see them following in the footsteps of other breweries successful releases. Not complaining, it was always interesting to try their experimental brews. Hopefully they experiment in small batches and then release at a later time.

 

Or they could just brew less (meaning fewer bottles) of the more "innovative" stuff. I don't think it necessarily spells the end of them experimenting.

 

More likely, I think experience and their larger membership base is giving them more confidence in estimating ideal production levels.

I also wouldn't be surprised to see these member-only beers permanently sitting in the allocation page if there are leftovers. I get that archive sales are fun and good for the really limited stuff, but I'm constantly baffled why they have bottles available for sale in the tasting rooms that can't be bought online.

 

So it's my understanding that the specific designation only affects included bottles, and that if you are in the Terreux club you can still buy Bruery bottles (such as You Asked For It) correct? @BruerJoel

 

Good question! It is a Reserve Society only option. Hoarders get EVERYTHING (including the new small batch bottling releases in 2018!)

 

That's correct - you'll have access to everything. The only caveats are PB & Jelly Thursday and Black & Blue BBLs - those are included bottles only and we don't anticipate having any additional bottles to sell to Reserve Society members.

 

Bruery making every move we've asked for in like one year lol

 

Being able to now choose having either all barrel aged Bruery beers or all sour Terreux beers included with membership is absolutely amazing. This is a dream come true for me and I'm sure many others. Thank you Bruery!

 

Next there will be sub-categories.

All BA Bruery Beers - All Smoking Wood variants - (2) members

Looking at you @RDMII & @ivegot3Dvision

 

I found your comment to be an humorous one, @bigdaddypolite. It was a well crafted piece of Society thread satire, that would have made Niccolo Machiavelli guffaw, if he were alive and a Reserve Society member.

 

I opened a Bois Fume on Monday; my companions loved it, I was like "well this is good but it really needs more smoke"

 

Either I forgot, or I missed it earlier, but I see that Mash & Spumoni will be bottled in 2018. Man, that is exciting! Definitely it was my favorite mash variant. I remember telling myself they gotta bottle it!

 

@BruerJoel
any chance we can get an updated list of what bottles would be included for each of the Bruery/Terreux memberships? Could a person get one of each and have them shipped together?

 

There’s a link in the email that shows the included bottles for each Reserve Society option.

 

All Smoking Wood, all day long. One can dream......

 

Thanks, missed it.
