    Friend is at tasting room now. They are letting him try anything but told him that they are not doing crowlers of blueberry pancake (‘because it would run out too fast’)

    Ha! Well then...maybe tell him to let them know about their Untappd posting. Seems odd to have it priced on there too. Is he at The Bruery or Terreux? I only see it listed on the Bruery tasting room.
    Let him know too, the last time they made a typo on Untappd, they honored it. Just sayin... :wink:

    I even sent my buddy a screenshot of my thresholds rewards in my account to show them and they wouldn’t budge. Said untappd is a different system. Haha. We tried.

    Worth a shot, but let's be real here the Bruery knows the thresholds you need to hit to get any type of reward, and son, you ain't even close.

    you had to authorize the release of them separately. Kind of odd.

    Great vanilla+chocolate blend, smooth barrel notes. I've had the '15 multiple times over the years now and it seems the 'white chocolate' flavor gets stronger over time as the alcohol settles down and everything smoothes out. I just fucking love the wheatwine base, and it gets overshadowed initially by the barrel and alcohol, but over time it all just melds together wonderfully.

    Finally remembered to open this one. I would agree that it seems slightly more carbonated than your average Bruery beer. But no cause for concern. I didn't get a thick head. Just noted a rush of co2 just after I finished the pour. This was my only bottle. So, I don't have a comparison.

    Got to admit I put this one off because I thought that the cherry was going to be overpowering. It was not. Complimented the bourbon and chocolate really well.

    At the tasting room now. White chocolate warmer is good, but tastes like it's the mash and french toast adjunct recipe added to the white chocolate base. Same with blueberry black Tuesday, tastes like black Tuesday with the muffin stuffing adjuncts. Muffin Stuffing was one of my fav's this year, so I don't mind. It's interesting to me how some beers are so highly rated when others aren't, and they're so similar.

    Never discount the power/influence of rarity and FOMO:grin: There are a few of the readily available beers that seem underrated to me.

    If someone dismisses how they only seem to favor beers that are scarce, you know FOMO has its grip on them.

    So I was down this weekend, and tried all of the allocations (except one). Here are my thoughts:

    SiTR Cherries/Raspberry: Great variant, but not too different from SiTR, one of my favorite sours. 9/10.
    Melange #1: Thank God this is back! One of my favorite Bruery beers ever... this version is more tart, yet more alcoholic than I’ve had before... still rock solid and will kill with age. 9/10.
    Mash&Vanilla: It’s going public, so I didn’t even bother (given all of the other high ABV stuff on tap).
    White Chocolate Warmer: This seemed a bit more muddled (the flavors were more lost in one another) than the OG batch, but still very pleasant. 9/10
    Bierbara 5.0: Holy shit! I love sweet things, and minus a few friends I lost in Chocolate Reign-Gate (plus my bitching about the lack of BT at the last Anni party... which I still think was odd), most people say I’m sweet, but even this was too much... 8/10, and I’m struggling with that.
    Fuzzy Blue BBL WTF... why!?!? This is an example of taking two great things, and making a less-than-great thing. Not worth $40/bottle despite what went into it. 8/10, only because it wasn’t awful, but I expect better.
    CCR... Honestly little cherry, minus a slight tart fruitness, but still a great Imperial Black Tuesday variant.
    BT Banana Puddling (bonus). Wow!!!! Bottle this at once!!! 10.5/10

    I love the positive attitude, but I can’t help but notice that your grading scale is only slightly less skewed than the WeRateDogs Twitter account.

    They’re good beers, Brent.

    a bunch of SHIT cans showed up in my neck of the woods lately. 11.99 and 12.99 at the two places I've seen it for a 16 oz can. It's good but a little hot, I know a lot of bruery beers age really well and I'm assuming this one does as well. What are yalls experiences with aging this one and is bruery expanding distro so I might see this around more or should I grab a couple of this one time drop before it's gone? canned 8/29
