Was this useful to anybody?

  1. Yes - but you're still a tool

  2. No - I don't budget for beer, nor do I care what's to come.

    I got shorted once. But after one quick email, it was sorted without issue, and waiting for me next time I picked up. Easy process and not worth losing any sleep over. The Bruery will make it right.

    My experience as well. They are usually quite attentive to any issues.

    I have had a similar experience. The guy at the counter told me too bad, but the girl doing the allocations had no problem. I can see not emailing ahead being an issue for people who are trustee's, but this was just the most recent allocation for my self.

    I would email Patrick, post on the RS forum, or even just call with the date & time this happened since that sounds pretty bad if he actually said that. They pride themselves on their quality customer service.

    Edit: Saw your later post. Glad that worked out.

    As copied above, that is the link.

    However, the site, imho, was a bit of a flop, sadly. It's pretty dead for a forum. Not really their fault, it's just a bit of over saturation of information. Forget the fact that so many RS members are already on either BA or RB, they already had a blog, a website, the emails they send out, and FB pages for the tasting room, provisions, RS, and the brewery. Which is already a lot of places to get information. So the launch of the RS forum earlier this year, after all the priors were already pretty well established, just seemed unnecessary. Great concept, but sometimes it's a ghost town over there, since it doesnt seem to get as much traffic as their other media outlets. I use to check it out more often, but at times two weeks would go by without a new post.

    Not sure if it's a Provisions series beer, but allocations of Griffon Bruxellois are supposed to go on sale this month.

    White Chocolate was indeed the mystery beer.

    Biggest bummer ever, if true. I was hoping for a blend of the 3 years of Oude Tart, as the name suggests.
