Bruery RS/HS Allocations (2020)

Appreciate the commentary on that. I understand that we all have to make changes that are in the best interest of our personal and professional needs. I'm glad for the person you are mentioning (not sure if it's the same person I'm thinking of, but probably is) is moving onward to a new opportunity. I'm sure that I will patron that place as well! I've always appreciated the TR and Terreux culture and hope that they can continue that going forward. Hoping to get back to regular visits with beer-minded people that you can talk beer, culture and South Park episodes all in the same conversation!

My last comment on this subject is that I understand that businesses/corporations have to look at their different operations as separate profit centers. I'm hoping that these layoffs are not because the TR's are not making the margins they need and understand that the benefits and return of the TR is beyond the P&L for that profit center. They generate Preservation memberships that lead to long-time loyalty, draw sales from the website, and on and on. Investing in good people is worth it if you have good leadership on how to get the most out of people! Okay.....done with whatever you want to call this soapbox/rant.

 

Drank a bunch of Sticky Chunk when it was fresh and thought it was great. Just opened one of the last two cans and the almond has tempered a bit which has really improved the beer IMO.

I would still like to get the bag. Even if it's late in the year.

 

As for the beer.....July Preview looks great! Lot coming up, so gotta use my $$$ wisely!
-CR is an obvious winner for me.
-Pie Happy makes ME happy!
-Sans Pagie Reserve could be interesting, but I'll need to taste this one first.
-Still Vindictive....why "Still"?
-Three's Company....sounds like my jam! Will buy, but need to try to determine how much.
-The Vine, The Berry, The Spice....haven't heard anything from these. Labeled as Bruery and not Terreux. So not a sour..... maybe a saison? Any comments?

 

Interested in Still Vindictive, San Pagaie and my favorite Sourrento!!!

 

MT puts the bottles/cans in my trunk and haven't gotten an order wrong yet. And there's no interaction. When they were doing sidewalk pickup they would hand off with minimal interaction.

Twice I've had the fulfillment center call out the name of something that matched the listing on the sheet but ended up it being something else once I got home and actually looked at the bottle.
(and don't get me started on how much paper they generate and must pay someone to process)

Still doesn't answer my question of what the current Bruery procedure is.

 

Vine, Berry, Spice are the Chef Williamson collabs. There's a summary back a few months on Instagram I think. I think Vine has a Terreux logo at bottom of logo.

 

Wow, I wish I could say the same.

I haven't picked up the last few weeks at the bruery, but about 1 month ago they did a double check of the bottles just as usual.

 

While you noticed the "Still", I noticed the "Vincdictive".

I am assuming that extraneous C on the label is just a typo??

So amped on the Brooke collabs, she's my favorite local chef and her restaurants are great. I get bottles of Girl Grey every time they are available. Kyuri Dragon was good too, but I am not huge on cucumber so I don't come back to that one often.

 

No one is talking about the dessert wine/beer hybrid? Looks interesting. It's "Elevage".

Nice catch!

 

Thanks for sharing! All sound pretty exciting and this might be an even more expensive month than May. While all sound really intriguing, any beer that is a collaboration with Mikerphone Brewing and Moksa Brewing immediately gets my attention. Those other 2 are possibly two of my favorite breweries outside of The Bruery.

 

Made it just for you...

 

We're still planning on the bags! Just have had some supplier issues with all the things going on in the world.

 

Man, ya caught us.

 

Great news on the bags!

 

Exactly. All of the collabs with Mikerphone to date have been outstanding!

 

Very disappointed to crack another infected beer from the Bruery tonight, my third in the past three months. Tonight's was So It Happens It's Tuesday. Hopefully they respond this time. Considering I have spent many thousands, probably near ten on society allocations, the fact that they duck on making $80 worth of mistakes right really rubs me the wrong way. Every other brewery whom this happens with has done the right thing, even much smaller and lower quality shops... Maybe the name and size is going to their head?
