Bruery RS/HS Allocations (2020)

So, Darren mentions that Aloha Friday is the sixth day of the week beer. We have Grey Monday, Black Tuesday, Mocha Wednesday, and Aloha Friday. Officially, is PB & Thursday or PB & Jelly Thursday the "Thursday" beer? I like PB&J way better. Also, is Sundae Sunday the other weekday beer? Not had that one yet and so glad it's coming around this year.

 

Yep Sundae Sunday and PB&J Thursday is the official Thursday beer, at least according to their own literature on untappd ("We claim our days of the week sparingly. With this release, we spread it on thick. This is a special kind of Thursday - one you can jam to later in the day!")

 

I am a little sad that Muffin Stuffin is only 1 per. Such a fantastic price for a tasty beer in my opinion.

 

Have not yet had Aloha, but I think Sundae may be my favorite of all the other days thus far. Hope you enjoy it once you get the chance to try it!

 

Yup, if it wasn’t entertaining I wouldn’t read it. I skip lots of threads, but this is a don’t miss.

 

At first I didn't realize that these were just bottles from the 2019 batch. Was hoping they dialed back the cinnamon. But I'll have to assume it's the same. The nose was fantastic. It's a shame because the flavors could be better.

 

Any possibility the cinnamon will dial down with some time?

 

Might ask @dmui4031 to confirm... Wouldn't surprise me if they were bottled late December and thus technically 2019.

 

Does anybody know why Muffin Stuffin is in a 750mL bottle? I really enjoyed this beer and the fact that it was in a can.

 

It's in the Preservation package, so I'm assuming these are the surplus they're selling off.

 

Probably not before everything else does too unfortunately. Every can was a gamble as I did have a couple that were not overwhelming.

 

I think, at risk of getting raked over hot coals for this, that "comparable" and an individual's perceived value are two different things that people mix up.

I consider something comparable when it's the same style, roughly the same ABV or gravity give or take a reasonable amount, similar additives/flavorings, etc. Easy example here being an Offshoot hazy and a Monkish hazy with same hops, etc. I'd say those are objectively comparable in the sense of cost to produce, final product.

Having said that, currently I would take a can of Monkish over Offshoot almost without thought. Just like I would take a Jam the Radar over something like Sunday Sundae as the Stasis and Monkish brews taste better to me and I value them more. This is way more subjective than the former comparison.

I don't know, maybe I'm putting too much thought into this. It is ultimately just beer.

 

All of my cans were spot on. Blueberry forward and some cinnamon. Never had an overload of cinnamon.

 

Same here. I've had plenty of cinnamon heavy beers from Bruery lately, but Muffin Stuffin was all blueberry for me.

 

Correct this is the same batch as the cans from last year that were bottled for Preservation Society packs to start this year.

 

Same with me. It was one of my favorite beers last year, so I'm glad I get a little more.

 

The ones I had were heavy on the cinnamon but that might be due to my palette, I am not a huge fan on cinnamon.

 

Member Monday’s switching to Tuesday work better for me, but it’s slightly frustrating I can’t swing by the fulfillment center that same day due to their change in hours.

 

It stated in the January Hoarders news letter, under the muffin stuffin description, that these were bottles from last years run. I really liked MS. I just remember the taste not quite living up to that heavenly smell.
