Bruery RS/HS Allocations (2019)

That's why I am on the fence as well. Pistachio and Samoa sound great but the BM and Spicy BT are kinda whatever sounding. Especially when I can go buy an awesome stout down the street for $10-12 that will do.

 

Most of my friends are more into sours, and less heavy darks... not a ton on board for Black Tuesday-level beers. I wish I had some friends who I could split the box with

 

Done and done! Do they box the Hoarders boxes in another box? The BT box looks nice and hope it doesn't get all jacked in shipping.

Looking for tasting notes on 12 and Triple Berry. Just picked up a closeout of 11 for $7 and at that price, it may be a no brainer for at least a bottle of 12. TB just sounds interesting.

 

Yeah spicy Island was a poor choice for this box.

 

Nah, they just slap a big ole shipping label on the side. That's about 20% of the reason I'm going to wait to pick mine up end of year.

 

Does anyone else place two orders each allocation period (one for bottles and one for cans)?

Since you have to ship all items in a order at the same time I normally find myself with a full box of cans but not enough bottles or the other way around. By splitting orders I can ship each individually when ever they are full and not worry about trying to get them full at the same time.

I finally figured this out after a few years and thought I would share.

 

Since I haven't actually had any of these BT variants before, this was a no-brainer purchase for me! Even looking forward to trying the Spicy Island.

 

As an FYI, they will ship bottles and cans together in a bottle box, if you ever need that option. Just email and ask them.

 

I mainly separate cans from bottles due to shipping cost. Generally, the Bruery wants to ship individual orders complete. So, if there are cans and bottles on the same order, I would think they would want to put cans in the bottle shipper. The per can cost goes way up. They will split orders, but I'm sure it's a PITA. Therefore I order bottles and cans separate and ship each once I get a shipper full.

 

I do this... And go one further... I'll place back to back bottle orders of things I think I want to ship vs stuff that can wait to my next trip. As long as you specify order numbers when buying the flex shipper it's all good!

 

Geez I nearly missed that among all the Black Tuesday-related beers in the allocations. Thanks for the reminder. Loving the price point too, especially after the damage said Black Tuesday-related beers already did to my wallet!

 

Yeah, I've placed multiple orders at one time as well. I might need one or two bottles to fill a shipper. Then more bottles that will wait for another shipper. Then a couple of cans to either ship or hold.

 

Hey guys - just to clear things up, 12 Drummers is 12% ABV, not 20% ABV.

 

i think they just meant the percentage of barrel aged blended in, not the abv.

 

Gotcha. My bad.

 

Though 20% would make for a more merry Christmas...

 

Pistachio and Samoa have both been at Anniversary parties before, and maybe it's just my tastebuds, but I'd rather any of the established variants (even PB&T) over those two. And those two are the ones I actually know about and have enjoyed before. Not taking the gamble, especially considering i have no interest in Spicy Island (or any idea how that made it in).

 

Having not yet tried it, I'd have to say the same about Spicy Island. It's almost like they decided they couldn't make the box too perfect....

 

I think everyone feels this way, myself included. But, what if that’s the star of the box?

 

I'm down for spicey island. I have never had it but it actually sounds good. Hoping it isn't too much on the spicey side....like habanero sculpin. It does sound like a good change up in the box. Hopefully I am not wrong.
