Bruery 2018 RS/HS Allocations

Okay, if that is the case, just crack the 375, then put a stopper on it and drink it 24-48hrs later.

 

Or decant it for an hour or two...

 

I buy to drink it myself most the time. I like BT, I like other beers as well, that means I can drink another offering if it's in a 375ml. Most likely another Bruery beer, a lower abv beer, like frucht. Yes, I drink beers multiple days. I don't want to though. I want it NOW.gif and not to necessarily drink it again tomorrow.

 

Something I have found for myself, and obviously everyone is different in their habits, is that I really like the 375 and canned Bruery beer, but prefer the larger format Terreux bottles.

The reason for this is pretty simple, my fiancee will split a bottle of sour with me half and half, but when we open something with a high ABV, she usually just has a taster-sized sample and I get the rest. With smaller format releases of high ABV, I can essentially have a regular sized glass instead of overdoing it.

 

I'm just the opposite. My wife really isn't in to sours so a 375 is good for me, but she's all in to the stouts and we can split a big bottle.

 

Anyone know if there is any way to verify on Flok that all your checkins for SMM were logged?

 

I've only used Flok 1 time this year to check in. I've forgotten about it, never think about it.

Do you (or anyone) use the Flok?

 

What the heck is Flok?

 

Flok is the app they tell you to check in on each time you visit the tasting room. You can earn 50% off growler fills or flights or something like that. I remember to check in 90% of the time. I really want to know about these thresholds though, what gives. Nobody has passed a threshold yet.

 

Right, I can't always remember to check in and I'd hate to not get early entry to the BT party because I forgot to check in once.

 

I always forget to check into Flok, I forgot so many times that I just gave up on it

 

Yea, seriously Flok is the worst. If it even counted all of my SMM check-ins, I feel like half the people who should be at the end of year beer-and-cheese event won't be there because of the switch to the app..

Ever get the sense that most of the "upgrades" to member service end up making things worse for us consumers?

 

Been to the tasting rooms like 60 times combined and haven’t checked in since it first came out. Too much to think about and is never on my mind. Nothing at the registers to remind anyone anyways.

 

I haven't even loaded it on my phone and have no intention to do so. I don't make it to the tasting room that often these days so its not a great loss. But the app is one of my least favorite society benefits.

Not sure why an app is even needed, since your ID seems to let you access your discount.

 

Was there even an offer to get in early to the BT event this year?

 

Nope.

 

Sure about that? This is from the sale page:
Session one:
4:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. (early entry is 4:00 p.m.*)

Session two:
8:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. (early entry is 8:00 p.m.*)

*You will receive an email if you are granted early access from attending Society Member Mondays.

 

No, what a silly idea, never checked in once and i visit about once a month.
