    Keeping 15 beers going after a share isn't the easiest thing to do.

    Finally decided it was time to open my 2015 WC. Drinking very nice with a much stronger vanilla presence than I recall from recent WC‘s. That was the year the ABV suddenly jumped to 16%.

    First try of Royal St Sweets... I just can't get into the banana, but my goodness this beer has an incredibly luxurious creamy body! Is that a byproduct of the banana or accomplished with the base beer?

    I popped one a couple weeks ago and it was drinking amazing. Much better than recent releases, and just pure white chocolate.

    I drank a 2016 last week that was perfect. Also pure chocolate.

    Had my last can of last year’s Muffin Stuffin. The nose on that beer is still so insanely on point. My first can was a little too cinnamon heavy for my liking, but this can had very little to no cinnamon and it was delicious.

    There has definitely been some change in the WC recipe over the last couple years.

    As I finished the 2015 bottle last night, I noticed sediment in the bottom. Don’t think I’ve seen that in a while. I’m guessing they’ve gone to pasteurization though I don’t know if that would have any effect on taste

    WC 2016 was my first Bruery beer, just after I had moved out from the East Coast. It’s what made me seek out any and all Bruery beers I could find. While I’m glad I had that beer and all the other Bruery beers it led to, I definitely don’t get the same ‘white chocolate chip melting on my tongue’ flavor that I did from the 2016.

    Anybody in DC gotten delivery yet? Just curious how it went. Appreciate the effort on their part to keep employees employed.

    Huh, so April allocations coming next week and not tomorrow?

    That seems normal. Allocations usually follow Society Monday/Social Tuesday and next week is first Tue of April.

    Correct! We plan to drop new beers into allocations on the first Wednesday of the month this year. This was planned around the thought of letting members try new beers first this year at our Society Socials on Tuesday. We haven't announced it yet, but we're planning on doing a virtual Society Social next Tuesday at youtube.com/thebruery.

    Also, we're doing another virtual happy hour this Thursday, and talking about hops Offshoot beers with our friends from Crosby Hops and Virgirl Gamache Farms. Should be fun if you want to tune in. Hope to see you all there, remember to read emails as we have a ton of updates coming your way.

    - Daniel

    Right... Tomorrow is the first Wednesday:wink:

    But to the point in the post above, the caveat is really that it can't be the first of the month because there also has to be a Tuesday first for the social.

    All good! Looking forward to next week. Thanks for all you and the team continue to do to keep the beer flowing!

    DOH! The allocation schedule follows the first Tuesday, so it's the first Wednesday after the Tuesday of the month. But, next week's beers are pretty exciting! Sticky Chunk :hugging:

    I know it’s a big ask, but is there any way to get a “Society Social” Pack, with at least some of the new beers to try along with you all?

    I ordered the Offshoot pack for this week, and am so excited to try the new WEST COAST IPA!!!!

    Are there are any updates regarding how to do pickups? Do you need to reserve a time?

    Did anyone else get a “Q2 PS Membership Billing” email from “Brandon Goodwin”?

    Have never had a PS membership by the way, guessing it’s spam?
