Bruery RS/HS Allocations (2020)

They get either 15 or 20% discount on purchases

 

I wonder if less of them will be barrel aged?

 

Feeling the same here. Plus, I always thought the intent was to have half Bruery BA-style beers and the other half Terreux sour-style beers. This sounds like 5 sours/fruit beers and an imperial Helles.

 

Agreed, very meh offering this box. Definitely passing on this one.

 

On a different note, has anyone tried the huckleberry beers they've put out in the tasting room? I'm loving them! Huck that berry seemed to fly under the radar. Huckle and Flow is solid too. I'm also looking forward to seeing what they have planned with the Pilot Playground. Great start! Anyone else been lately and try them?

 

Was just there Saturday and loved them as well!

 

The tasting room has been pretty dead during the week and it really deserves some additional traffic to enjoy these new beers they put on tap. I'm not one to make a favorite spot overly busy, but The Bruery TR and the staff there deserves to see the tasting room back to it's glory days and earning new customers. It would be nice to see their social media little more active to promote traffic between the TR and Terreux.

 

I visited the tasting room this weekend (I hadn't been in there for months, maybe a year) and it reminded me that I need to get over there more often. For me, the diversity and quality of the line up is better than what I experienced on recent visits to a lot of the other popular tasting rooms. The particular standouts were the tasters I had of Love Bites, White Chocolate with Raspberries, the Pilot Cacao, Maple and Vanilla Stout and Unwind (the hoppy pils). And, yes, unfortunately, it was pretty dead there (although I assumed that might be because everyone was at Terreaux for the Heritage BBQ). I missed the huckleberry beers, but need to go back and try those.

 

They've kept a really nice variety of beers on tap that the biggest challenge for me is not being able to just stick to a go-to beer like I did in the old Loakal Red days. Definitely recommend that more BA'ers go back and make it a part of a regular thing. The last few newer food trucks were not bad either. I say this after I gave up on eating off most food trucks the past few years b/c of pricing vs. quality/enjoyment.

 

I should have paid more attention when the boxes came up in the archive sale last year. But are they normally the current price and the tour is included? Or is there a fee for the tour added in as well?

 

Did I miss the release of MeeMaw's Sticky? A local retail store just got some. I guess it's distro only and not a society release?

 

I think about $165 was standard in the past...a couple of them varied a little. But haven't seen them bundle in the "tasting experience" in the past.

 

It was listed in today's March allocation email... Maybe the distribution chain just moved faster than expected.

 

Dang, I checked my allocations earlier and decided I wanted The Bruery Hoarders Cuvee (2017), but don't like doing orders on my phone. Finally got to the computer to order it, and it's sold out.

 

Looks like it’s back up for sale.

 

You’re done with the Bruery? I always got the impression they are your favorite brewery. What happened?

 

Kicked out over this forum like the dude from last year?

 

While critical as you may have been, you tended to come off more like a Bruery apologist (not in a bad way).

Maybe as someone who was actually close with a lot of the staff, there were more hurt feelings involved whereas if comments you made were made by randos (like me!), the staff would likely be able to more easily brush it off.
