Bruery RS/HS Allocations (2020)

In today’s email it says who gets how much of what. It you’re reserve, the email will come tomorrow, and yes, they’re a available now.

 

By how much? Across the board, or certain beers?

 

The included orders are already generated (at least for Hoarders). Check your Order History to see if it's there.

 

Got it - for some reason I thought those were limits, but see that it's what's included. Thanks!

 

$2 on aloha and red wine bt, at least those two from what I can see

 

It looks like bottles that might have been $15 in the past went up $1 to $16, and anything higher went up $2. For example, Mash & Vanilla bottle is $25, but those Mash variants always used to be $23.

 

$2 for the beers I like the most - I can't really complain. Prices go up, people need to get paid. Now, if they'd raised the price by, say, $10/bottle - that would have got my attention (in a negative way )

 

If the insulated tote is anything like the ones MT League members get, they will be great!

 

Everyone will see steadily increasing prices as California minimum wage continues to rise.

 

That's kind of what I was bracing for. If everything was at Rue'd Attitude price from late last year I was going to say this is my last year in a Bruery club.

 

If you factor in HS discount, I actually think you'd find that these two variants are still cheaper per ounce than a lot of comparable offerings from other breweries churning out a ton of BA stuff even with the price increase.

 

I admit the pricing comparison will be heavily influenced by your personal definition of what is "comparable".

Of course, the other x-factor for many of us who are non-local is the shipping costs. Compared to that, 1-2 bucks per bottle is barely noticeable. The shipping cost is nothing new, but it was easier to stomach when there weren't so many good options within driving distance. I was just commenting on a Twin Cities thread that Abraxas variants are lasting at some stores for days, and I couldn't have imagined that a few years ago.

 

I have to hand it to The Bruery for not raising prices over the years, but it is telling that it happens post-PE. No way were they going to bump prices the first year, but this was almost guaranteed to occur in the second. I'd like to think Patrick was happy running with lower profits as it was a passion and hobby, but that's not what the PE wants.

Regardless, the market will support it.

 

Royal Street sounds tasty, but I hope they used a lighter hand on the fucking cinnamon for a change...

 

I guess I really shouldn’t complain. I mean, plenty of tasters went up by $2 not that long ago.

Dang, I posted this before reading FFs post.

 

So glad I left, this is my 3rd year gone and I’m still going through old bottles. Their beer is overpriced.

 

And still hanging out in here like a crazy ex.

 

That made me laugh out loud!!
