Bruery 2016 RS/HS Allocations

Agreed, but that is usually (I am too lazy to look at every release) the following year. Personally, I feel after the year the beer was released has passed, it is fair game.

 

yes. can someone explain it to me. i'm having trouble wrapping my head around it

 

looks like BT is a whopping 20.3% this year

 

wow.
Solo that!

 

First year RS member here, what's the deal with the BT release party? It says pre-sale tickets to Hoarders, but nothing regarding RS. Also, how is the party, what's it about, etc., for someone who's never been before.

Thanks!

 

Pretty sure that just means Hoarders will get first crack at it. Last year, they had multiple nights and multiple sessions but we don't have that info yet. Strange that they only mentioned one night in the Instagram post. Here's some info from last year.

The session times are as follows:
Session 1- Tuesday, October 27: 5:00 - 7:30 p.m.
Session 2- Tuesday, October 27: 8:30 - 11:00 p.m.
Session 3- Wednesday, October 28: 5:00 - 7:30 p.m.
Session 4- Wednesday, October 28: 8:30 - 11:00 p.m.

Perks and Pours

We're working on a site integration and will circle back when we have an update on this front.

 

Thanks for the feedback, Jeff! We're working on those two items you list as site issues. On allocation windows for 2017, we expect the initial allocation window to be one week; however, the opportunity for Society members to buy allocated brands beyond that may be extended into subsequent weeks. As in 2016, we'll continue Society Member Mondays (and offer new Society experiences) in 2017 for members to experience our beers and share feedback with others.

 

Is that bottle on the right waxed????

 

Looks like it? Was the rule for waxing 20% or was it just a dollar amount?

 

It's a capsule - sorry for any confusion ;-)

 

It was a price point threshold. I believe bottles over $30/bottle were waxed.

 

There may be a reset of the sales as we calibrate for another round, but our Societies remain the priority as we look to make bottles available - no question! For example, if a sale ends at midnight on Sunday, we might not bring it or others back online until Tuesday, allowing us to set up the next sale on that Monday.

 

I also recall hearing under $30 for Bruery being capsule (e.g. $29.99), but Terreux doesn't have a capsulator so might be some lower priced bottles waxed there. They also said that series (e.g. Chronology) might get wax on sub-$30 bottles to keep the series' look consistent.

 

Well said!

 

The pending shipping thing was a new feature for this year. Prior to that I had a notepad document I used to track the number of bottles I had pending shipping which was named "I M Screwed"

Thanks for the update Joel.

 

I'm considering upgrading from PS to RS. For PS pick up the deadline is the end of quarter after purchase. Is it the same for RS?

 

RS is until March the following year
