It's Valentine's day, you love us RS GUYS!

 

I'm raging so hard right now.

Agreed even if it was a 2016 beer. Give HS a chance to snag it before letting the plebs have access. There are some new Hoarders that may not have been HS last year that lost out.

Did RS get access to Room for More? need to know before I buy eight more #KeepHSExclusivesHS

 

That one was hoarders exclusive this year. So based on what @BruerJoel said, it is only for us this year. I bought a case in total of it already. =P

 

Yeah, a bit odd it wasn't offered to HS only for the new year with new members.

No wonder it sold out before most HS members even saw the email. Should have gone to HS only with this archive release imho. I missed out but it was a little on the sweet side on tap at the OG Tasting room. Plus I'm sitting on a bottle from a friend HS member from last year --otherwise I would be more bummed.

Sold out before I could see it. What was the price BTW?

Edit: Finished reading all the other posts. I fully agree with @SHODriver - having upgraded to HS it would have been appropriate for a first pass at HS only.

 

Pre-discount $37.50

 

I wasn't a big fan of either of the HS cuvee, so I'm not really concerned who buys it.

 

i missed them both really wanna try them

 

Hoarders Cuvee is unbelievably sweet, but also really boozy and makes a great after dinner drink. The Terreux was just cool all around with all sorts of flavors bouncing around the mouth. Both very unique, maybe a bit extreme for some people, but delicious.

 

i was hoping to get a fill of it but they are gone

 

I hope this happens. I really really really hope this happens. My mouth is watering thinking about this beer.

 

Not sure if it was up yesterday, but merch allocation now offering a Reserve Growler bag (year?) - sounds kind of cool, anyone that owns one have feedback? Also, I don't actually fill growlers that often, so I'm more thinking maybe it's just a good insulated cooler for bottles - thoughts?

I haven't seen the bottle tote that comes with this year's Reserve membership. Is it zippered/insulated? Or purely a carrier?

 

Tote with this years merchandise is just a bottle carrier, no insulation or padding.

I checked out the growler bag at the society event and while it's nice if you don't have anything for carrying growlers, it has pretty thin insulation so I passed. Quality of the bag looked good though.

 

Anyone embroider something last year? What is the size and colors available? Are you able to get "anything" done? Hat, beanie, jacket? What have you had embroidered in the past?

 

The growler bags from a year or two ago are beyond awesome. I mainly use mine for carrying bottles around, but on occasion I will fill it with growlers. Don't think it's insulated offhand (don't honestly know). I've used my original one a ton and it still looking good. Got another one recently just in case, and ended use using both of them together a few times now.

 

Just got back from the Beer and Cheese event. Really enjoyed the cheese with Figs,dried apricots, dried cranberries and the roasted almonds. The beers blended well with the cheeses. The Beaufort d'Ete really shone for my palate this evening, and the WC adding the sweetness. I also liked the Mixed Drum with the Humulus, even though I kept going to the Pantaleo and Chron 6 all the time.

 

I did a type 3 denim jacket on the breast. Was happy with the color and placement. Got fat thanks to bruery beers and now jacket doesnt fit.

Last year there was more thread colors available, but the tulip glass logo was not an option.

 

The one thing I do find odd about the current sale is that I'm able to purchase HS branded merch, e.g. HS hat and hoodies, via the merch section (not allocations section). Idk if they just opened it up to all 3 tiers, but I think it's a little weird that, if I really wanted to, I could buy HS merch even though I'm not a member.

 

Pretty sure that has got to be a mistake. I'll tag @BruerJoel just to be sure they know about it.
