Bruery 2018 RS/HS Allocations

Those Bruesicles are fantastic! They're on the same level as The Answer's Joose crowlers in my opinion. It's nice to be able to get something like that here on the west coast. Hope they keep doing it.

 

Brooke Williamson (Top Chef winner and owner of many A+ South Bay restaurants) posted the label for her collab with Bruery (she did a second one with Terreux as well). Not sure if it's been seen yet, but it sounds really cool

The shipping info above is correct.

The only time you will find "included" beers on the allocation page is when you want to order more than the ones you already paid for as part of the membership. Included beers go automatically into your order history. You will get emails, both order confirmations as well as general "here's what's coming up", that will tell you when included bottles are ready. As stated above, when you go to the Bruery store >account>order history page, these bottles will show up as order numbers. They should have $0.00 price tags as well. Currently you will find two orders. One for the initial included beer and one for the swag.

One thing to add about shipping. You always have the choice to immediately ship an individual order at the time of check out. Or choose the "Pickup" option (even if you have no intention of physically picking them up). They will hold your order so that you can combine orders to make a larger, and more cost effective, package. Hence you purchase flexible shipping options. Even when I was a Preservation member, I never got one of those fancy 3 bottle shippers. If you want to make sure included beers don't accidentally ship automatically go to Bruery Store>account>edit profile>visit this page instead link at the bottom>edit this membership to change the delivery method. I just noticed that even though last year I selected "CA pickup" it defaulted to "beer shipping" for this year. But they still didn't automatically ship my included beers.

 

Anybody opened the PB&J yet? Curious how much peanut butter is present.

 

It was weird, in the first sip I tasted it way in the background but it was definitely there but then it seemed like it flashed off and as hard as I tried I couldn't pick up any more peanut flavor for the rest of the bottle.

 

I haven't opened a bottle, but did I side-by-side with regular PB at the start-of-the-year festival. I thought that the jam really pushed the PB to the background, but that's what I expected: the jam should fade significantly fairly quickly, and I expect it to be very balanced in the near future.

 

Awesome, thanks for the feedback. Was thinking about opening fresh to get all of the flavors. I was hoping it would be as good as You know what time it is, that was a delicious beer.

 

Even without much peanut flavor it's a great beer, world class.

 

Would also like to know! Blue BBLs is one of my all time Bruery favorites.

 

Yes, mine was way too hot. There was some nice peanut and jam in the background, but the heat was overpowering. Gonna save my second bottle for a long time and this will be fantastic when the heat fades a bit.

 

So we just opened the PB&J and it's everything it says it is. I thought the Peanut Butter and Jelly were very well balanced. It was a fantastic start to 2018 for sure!

 

Powers That Be: Please put baby changing stations into your bathrooms. Not having these is inconvenient for parents like me who drag their infants to breweries, AND its the #1 way to get your spouse to say "How about we go a different brewery (most others) that has a place to change diapers. Parents will understand where I am coming from. Young lads.... Maybe not today or tomorrow, but one day... you will understand.

You have to understand.... My baby drinks A LOT of beer and needs frequent diaper changes. Thanks for listening!

 

I thought Black & Blue was pretty good but Blue BBLs is another level. That's one of my all time favorite bruery beers as well. It had a heavy bourbon flavor with a sour berry finish. Good beer but no Blue BBls. Still worth getting.

 

Black and Blue is pretty excellent. Just opened it. Both berry flavors come through beautifully up top and through the finish. Stout blend is perfect underneath—just enough tart to support the berries.

Used the new opener and it was awesome. Dug into the wax and popped the cap right off. No more using the can opener to cut wax while trying to avoid injury.

 

What? You don't enjoy having bandaids on all of your fingers after using a knife to take the wax off just so you drink a bba beer? Pathetic human.

 

Even though I know you're joking, I'm wondering how common it is to cut yourself getting wax off a bottle... I've never had that issue.

 

Depends if get the chainsaw out, or not - odds change drastically.

 

Anyone get the growler this year? Thoughts for or against it would be much appreciated!
