Bruery RS/HS Allocations (2020)

Anyone received + tasted May beers yet? Curious about...
- ...if Soie Reserve is the obvious max-out it sounds like from the description
- ...Yaya's Famous Raspberry Cheesecake Stout. The last cheesecake stout I had from The Bruery was super good (a taproom fill, forget the name, maybe had blueberry?), but I also think it was fully barrel-aged and I feel like the price point here probably means it wouldn't live up to those memories

 

I tried Yaya's last night. It was good. Better than the Bakery series. I didn't really get a cheesecake vibe, but I think all that adjunct gave it a nice creamy body. Raspberry was very strong and delicious.

 

does anyone have any ideas if we might start seeing some of the kegs that were intended for next weekend's anniversary party make their way to the taprooms soon for crowlers/to-go fill-ups?

 

I'd assume guest breweries just wouldn't have shipped, so you're just referring to Bruery beers right?

I wonder what the lead time on those variants is? Like if the adjuncts go in a couple weeks beforehand maybe a lot of what they had planned just never got made?

Great idea though, would be rad if a bunch of cool crowlers dropped!

 

I can't speak to the Bruery specifically, but I know several places who generally produce one-off and special kegs in the week or two before festivals. Certain things obviously take longer (fruit additions to sours, for example), but I'd be surprised if they had put together very many of the special pours since the world went sideways two months before the fest.

 

yeah ... was thinking of Bruery-only beers, namely the Anniversary variants.

 

Is the Tripearl they have in crowlers clean or Terreux?

 

This is a clean beer.

Allocation refresh and Bruery Archiversary sale are live today (at least for Hoarders, but maybe for Reserve as well?). Everyone has another crack at BT 10th Anniversary Box, BT Grand Reserve, Thee Cobbler, Chronology offerings, BT variants, and the like.

 

Picked up another BT box and some Chronology, wish it was bundled though....oh well.

 

Who is going to be the first person to get a $96 64oz. growler of Sundae Sunday or Chocolate Rain

 

I dunno man... Even with a nice diamond glass cutter it takes forever to prep a shotgun of one of those 750 CR bottles... I think ya gotta go crowler

 

Did they pull that down from the website? I'm not seen any CR or Sunday anywhere including Hoarders allocations. Maybe that was a mistake and they pulled it?

 

its on their TR list

 

There's a bunch crowlers on the TR Untappd menu which aren't available through the website store. Not sure if that's intentional or not... I guess they want you to go in person for some reason?

 

With the express shipping they have going on now, it’d be cool if there were bruesicle cans available

 

I've been waiting for bruesicles. It's been a few months.

 

You all probably already saw, but just a reminder that tomorrow's Happy Hour is a Master Cicerone panel with Patrick and 5 more Master Cicerones. Gonna be a fun one! Don't forget to check it out at www.youtube.com/thebruery.
