The Bruery Announcements/Allocations

Last years bottles?

 

It's not "last year's" bottles, it's "Lovingly aged for a year" bottles. Get it right

 

Too early to declare how badly it's fallen off?

 

bull----, I love that beer to death and I've had at least one a month, not fallen off at all.


(and yes, I get from your *wink* that there was a touch of sarcasm)

 

Entirely sarcastic, actually . I'm hoarding my last couple bottles for my wedding this year.

 

See I got the chance when they had it on tap so I knew of the deliciousness, and when they opened it up to free for all buying of the remaining bottles, I snatched up a case. My roommate likes to joke that I could (and would) bathe in it.

My beer for my wedding this year will be GM and WC (if it lasts)

 

I live just down the street from the tasting room, probably had an entire bottles worth of the RS free pours before we could pick ours up. Assuming a similar release schedule, I'll be able to re-up before the big day in October.

Also, congratulations!

 

Filmishmish is delicious.

 

lol, fuckin classic!

 

Yep. One of my top 5 Bruery sours.

 

They release allocations, but no Chocolate Rain? WHERE IS CHOCOLATE RAIN???

 

So anybody had these?

Imperial Loakal Red
RS - 1 bottle limit / HS 2 bottle limit
12% abv, best enjoyed within 6 months
This beer is very limited and will not be sold outside of our Tasting Room
Imperial Loakal Red is just what you expect, a bigger, maltier, more intense version of our hoppy, oaky red ale. Coming in at nearly double the abv of regular Loakal Red, this beer retains the essence of the base beer with notes of citrus, vanilla and oak, but brings it all to that next level. Definitely a great one to share with friends.

We do apologize for the low allocation number on this beer. We expected to have more, but sometimes things don't go quite as planned when brewing a new beer. We hope to offer you higher allocation numbers on most beers this year.

Mrs. Stoutfire - A collaboration with Beachwood BBQ & Brewing
RS - 3 bottle limit / HS 6 bottle limit
9.5% abv, best enjoyed within 2 years
This beer will see extremely limited distribution in Southern California

For our first local collaboration beer of 2012, we teamed up with our good friends at Beachwood Brewing in Long Beach, CA. We've worked with these folks on a number of small batch brews, beer dinners and general shenanigans for many years and it was really exciting to sit down and work on a full scale project with them for the first time. What we ended up with is an imperial smoked stout, but of course it wasn't that simple. We smoked our own malt on the same smoker and with the same blend of three different woods that Beachwood uses for their award winning BBQ - apple, white oak and pecan. We then aged the beer on those same three types of wood. The resulting stout is hearty and wonderful, balancing the rich, meaty smokiness with the sweetness of the malt.

 

I sure hope Preservation Society doesn't get any Imperial Loakal Red considering the limit both for HS and RS.

 

It's explicitly listed as one of their beers.

 

Me too, wish I had more.

 

well seeing as Loakal Red sucks im not holding my breath for this one...

 

Haha, my thoughts exactly.

 

agree. tried it at the tasting room... meh. no thanks.

 

It's being bottled this week, but it'll take awhile to wax it all. Expect to see Chocolate Rain sometime in April.

Cheers,
Patrick
