The Bruery (2024)

Enjoying Trade Winds. Nice take on a Belgian Tripel. As good as the original. Underrated IMO.

 

Did I miss an email about October releases?

 

I haven't seen anything... Assuming tomorrow (Tuesday) morning?

There was a more generic email last week about Black Tuesday releases so I wonder if they thought that would be too similar?

 

Loaded up on Black Tuesdays (inc Blenders and Imperial Grand Reserve) and Thr3e (one of my faves - revisited the 2021 release last week and it's still drinking phenomenal, really excited to see how well this new one replicates the last release), got free shipping, but now we play the waiting game. I feel like shipping around BT release is always crazy and delayed, but we'll see. Would you take the over or under for 2 weeks?

 

Those both sound solid.

 

It would be great to get some early reviews on the Stacks Reserve from folks that had the original versions, before considering an entire box. The original Stacks series was a let down (relative to my high expectations), and I have a hard time pulling the trigger on this one as a result.

Hopefully plenty left for purchase later this month after they are released.

 

Observing this Black Tuesday by opening a 2018 Red Wine BT. It's excellent.

The malt is the forward flavor, but it's got some soft tannins I didn't recall from before. So the vibe is very wine like even though the flavor is more malt. Really interesting.

 

2018 Red Wine BT was delicious, couldn't resist to keep them in my cellar long enough.

 

Maybe it's been awhile since I've logged in to buy beers, but was surprised to no longer see a link to Allocations in my account. Is that how we look for our Allocations now? Go to Shop and go to Society Exclusives link? How would we know if there are HS beers available?

 

Has anyone tried Crafted by Society: Banana Graham ? Sounds awesome, and I love that it's a small bottle. I am guessing it's not BA due to the price ?

Also Thr3E - 750ml Looks good

 

I have to search the beers I know are available. The allocation button sends me to beers released several months ago.

 

That's odd, when I click "allocations" from my account it just takes me to the shop page for Society exclusives. That page does also include current archive sale beers though.

@thetastywort the tiles have kind of a beige shading if they're Society exclusive... but I don't think there's a way to tell HS exclusivity unless you click into the product details page. Exception is that most months there's a bundle including one each of the new beers and if it says it's a Hoarder bundle that means at least one item in it is HS only.
But yes, that's the page to go to as far as I can tell.

 

Stacks box is pre-sale for later this month, that's likely why no reviews yet.

I'm not a fan of these pre-sales. Just wait to post once it's available.

 

I have the same issue and it is very annoying. I get the April releases when I go to Allocations, so I just go to all releases instead.

 

Yes sir, we are aligned and I wish the same thing. That’s why I was saying I hope there are plenty available later in the month when they are actually released. I would assume there will be plenty based on most of these box releases hanging around for awhile, but would rather not have to wait a couple weeks until there are some reviews, and wonder about it.

 

Weird. I got my GLS shipping notice today for Stacks box order

 

They clearly read our posts above! (Hopefully they are really shipping them out, but we’ll see…)

 

Haven’t seen anyone mention this yet, the glassware is in our cellar.
