Bruery 2016 RS/HS Allocations

The 2015 version is available as part of the 2015 RS/HS spillover allocations.

 

With all the beer I've been buying with my mom's credit card, she'll need a few extra bucks. I'll let her know thanks.

 

Anyone know if there are White Chocolate bottles for sale in the tasting room? I'm not a member.

 

Just took my 1/15 paycheck and maxed my RS allocations, my Rare Barrel "no salt" bottles, and the Modern Times "League bottles". OUCH.

 

At least your name has dictates you know how to store em'

 

They announced another bottling of Blue BBLS on their FB page!!

 

Yeah it was in the coming soon section in the January email

 

I enjoy the fact Bruery addressed the BBL discussion that was occurring earlier in this thread.

 

Hopefully we get Blue BBLs back next month.

 

I'm hoping more Salty Choc. BBLs was kept back for vintage sales.. kinda wish I got more!

So the overall consensus is "this" is Mocha Wednesdays year, based on reviews and reactions from people drinking it fresh.. Can't wait!

 

I sent an email yesterday for a pick up today. It was ready and I was out of there in 5 minutes. 2.5 cases of mixed bottles.

 

Never knew an oak barrel = 2 "barrel" units

 

I think an oak is barrel is actually 53 gallons, hence the "holds nearly" two barrel units.

Anyway, I'm really excited for a new batch of Blue BBLS, my favorite beer in 2014.

 

I cracked a bottle last night and I thought it was pretty chocolate heavy with not enough coffee. I'm actually going to sit on the rest of mine to see if the chocolate fades a bit.

 

Thats the way last years was too...everyone said "coffee bomb" actually not a ton of coffee

 

I think the coffee flavors will fade before the chocolate foes unfortunately.

 

I thought Mocha Wednesday 2016 was pretty coffee forward on tap a few weeks ago, now I'm interested in how the bottles taste.

 

I am guessing there must be some bottle variation on these, then. Just cracked my MW tonight and it was the most coffee forward bottle I have had since they started releasing it. I opened a few of the 2015 bottles over the past year (including one very fresh), and this year is completely different.

I personally preferred the 2015 because I liked the chocolate more than the coffee, but I would think anyone looking for strong coffee flavors would be loving this bottle.

 

@mattolesh I visited Liquor Paradise today in Rancho Cucamonga and they were selling a nice bunch of society beers. Chrono 18, BT15', juggling walruses and a few more. I don't know what you guys do about it but figured I would say something here first. Hell of a mark up too, $60 for BT and $80 for Chrono 18. I advise anyone else to steer clear of you can they up charge most things more than they should as well

 

I emailed The Bruery with photos when I saw this at another liquor store last year. I haven't seen them selling any reserve society beer since that time. So I suggest when people see this always snap some photos and email them.
