Bruery 2017 RS/HS Allocations

I think most of us appreciate your "early, pre-allocation" feedback, more than we care about your typos.

 

Just got at back from the kickoff. People were friendly, merch was cheap (most of it sweat shirts from 2012-2014 with dates on the merchandise)... but yeah it was a great event. For the above post about the lanyards??? You really can't expect them to print the lanyard exactly how you want it?? that's kind of silly...today we just went with the flow and it was fun, every business does things their own way and thats that. This consumerism of that i"t should be perfect" isn't how it works. It's a good motto, but it's rarely how it plays out. Today played out greatly. Kudos to all the workers and people involved.

 

Lanyards: seems like a very easy thing to fix that seems like nit picking but could easily be fixed and simplified. also, this guy had a suggestion to fix it. This isn't a complaint it is constructive criticism and it's a good point. It's not going to make or break anything but DESIGN is its own field that people pay extra for. This guy was giving free constructive advice. I hope the bruery sees it.

 

Wow. Just noticed the beer sale page at the Bruery store almost completely disappeared. Glad I picked up some of my favorites after the new year before they disappeared.

Edit: After @ivegot3Dvision's recommendation I popped a Mash & French Toast and its quite tasty. Fairly sweet. Maybe a little heavy on the spice, but very enjoyable.

 

Really enjoyed Mash & French Toast today at the event. Completely nailed it with the maple, cinnamon and nutmeg. Rue D'Floyd was great too, will be picking up more of that one.

Great meeting some of you today, looked like everyone had a great time. Some I saw obviously had an incredible journey today. Also thanks to the hoarders in the tasting room buying PB & Thursday pours.

 

Agree with the reviews of RdF and Mash and French Toast - both were standouts. Room for More was a fruit bomb (similar taste profile as Room for Me, but more). This year's Befuddlement is also excellent. Melange 5 (Dirty Beaver Juice) seems to be on par with the original, but it's been years since I tried the original, so I'm not positive - either way, though, it was very tasty (smoked malts gave it a smokey flavor). So far, the '17 releases are all really solid. Piapt is past its prime, but was still pretty enjoyable. The carb is low and it's kind of sherry-like.

 

Also, that banana concoction from Mostra was insane!

 

Ran into this last week - luckily nothing I wanted all that badly, but I had every intention of ordering a few bottles that are now absent.

 

It might be a 'reset' with the new society year and everything will go back up come Monday, but that's totally a guess.

 

Or everything is now "vintage" 2016 and needs a price increase

 

Does anyone know if the Terreux patio is dog friendly?

 

when do we get to buy January allocations??

 

Tomorrow.

 

From their site,

 

Bummer. Didn't see that on the website, thanks for the heads up

 

Finishing up that bottle of Mash & French toast currently. That first day the spices really popped, this time, it's dropped off a bit. That, or my palate has adjusted to it.

 

Yes it was. I put it into one of my Black Tuesday pours. Was awesome.

 

As for the beers available on the website, I counted 15. Bruery beers were 9 Ladies, the grade, shit, and mischief. Terreux beers are derde golf, frucht: cherry, humulus rueuze, traveling plum, rueuze, Fred h., saison rue, gypsy tart, beret, hottenroth, and sans pagaie. That's plenty. Maybe some of the non standards are gone (like chron 24 and Poterie) are gone. But they reset it last year too.

 

Those were exactly the two I picked up extras of.

 

Is the allotment tomorrow just a chance to buy more M&FT, RdF, and befuddlement, or a chance to get other bottles? New RS member, so just trying to understand how things work. Thanks!
