Bruery RS/HS Allocations (2019)

Has it actually been confirmed there is no Hoarders welcome package for 2019?

 

Per Patrick's emails we're getting archive beers today, plus the cards you use for extending TR discounts.

 

Allocations are up for me. Every Hoarder’s box but the first is listed!

 

Also more bottles of Elizabeth Rutherford, Bourgogne Noir, PB&T, You Asked for It (750ml only), One Blend Terreux Them All, and Rubes Cipres

 

What happened to "drink the Hoarders boxes FRESH", eh Bruery? (just kidding) (half kidding)

Bourgogne Noir & PB&T are nice second allocations, both of those were fantastic.

 

Are hoarder boxes available for reserve?

 

They better not be haha! But in all seriousness, the description says they are HS exclusive, so I imagine not.

 

Unless I am reading it wrong, the Welcome Weekend "All Access" event is a series of 1 hour sessions, where we are allocated 10 tasters and one full pour? Is that even physically possible?

 

It sounds like its going to be a tour kind of thing? So I think we'll walk through the brewing facility getting pours as we go, and the full pour is after the tour in the regular tasting room? Still a bit of a stretch, but not too unreasonable.

 

Yeah that does seem to be what is going on... still, 10 tasters on an hour tour? Haha... we'll see.

 

I'm surprised they have any left. Only 500 of each box so either many HS passed on the first go around or HS is smaller than I thought.

 

Box 3 sold out but I was able to grab 2 and 4. Really wanted that 3 too, oh well. Always willing to grab more PB as well.

 

I could have used more M&FT though. I thought that was delicious and spot on.

 

Dang just missed box 3 but that's my own fault for waiting an hour. But I am a little disappointed with the welcome weekend setup being only one hour and then as a first year hoarder I was excited to be able to have 2 extra tickets available in my allocations (one of the main reasons I wanted to go hoarder so much). For this event I'm still only showing 2 available though.

 

I noticed on Twitter that, because of the government shutdown, Prairie is unable to get new beer labels approved for sale. I assume this would affect all breweries. I wonder if that has played into Bruery's current release timing, or if they always intended on a quiet January?

 

I was also wondering about that. There’s a thread about this in the news section and it’s been said that breweries only need the approvals if they’re shipping the beer out of state through distributors. If that’s true then our Society releases shouldn’t be affected because the beers are picked up at the brewery or shipped within the state.

 

You have to submit the labels far in advance, so it’s very doubtful this is causing a delay for January beers. The planned release of beers this spring, could be in jeopardy. We may see some old friends sooner, CCR and American Anthem.

 

Just opened up a Bulletproof Etain. This would go over very well as a regular release.

 

I agree 100%. And I snagged a box 3 this morning, shortly after 10am . Glad I didn't wait for an email today. Or was it sent, and I never got it?

Can I get a shout out on Crumb father ? I'd like it to be brewed in '19, please.
