Bruery RS/HS Allocations (2020)

Did pick up BT reserve since I've only had 2020 which was phenomenal.

I'm kicking myself for saying it because I really don't need more beer. But, I agree with @mrmsmith regarding the smoked beers. I'd also wonder if the coffee has killed '17 Rue d'Floyd.

 

Had 17 RDF a few months ago in July and my untappd review was
"Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Perfect 5 out of 7. Drinking better than ever."

 

Peter Veeder is great. I like it more than both Rutherford releases. BT is more forward than Thomas and the Cab is a lot darker and richer.

 

After seeing a couple of Hoarder's box single bottles for $16 earlier this week, I was excited to see Raspberry Valley in today's sale. Then I saw the $27 price and now I am back to saving my money for 2021.

 

Plan to scoop up the 2018 BT Reserve today

I would cry tears of joy and buy every single 2016 Hoarders Cuvee if that ever came back.....

 

Ditto. I respect that it was small batch, hard to make, expensive/risky to store... but like those OG Christmas beers there's a point $$ is clearly going to bring a lot more joy and value elsewhere on the menu.

 

I told myself yesterday that I was done...but I wasn't...no regrets.

 

Ooo... Shipping notification received on the new Hoarder box... But which one to try first!?!?

 

Forgot all about Share This: Mint Chocolate Chip, woof. The Chocolate Orange one was a dud for me too. Melange No. 11 is right up there too for me.

Second on the Smoking Wood, I'm down to my last one. Would love to see Bois Fume as well! Maybe Smooth Criminal too?

 

Same.... based on previous 12 days of Christmas Sales, do they leave up all the beers until the last day or until they sell out? Like if I am on the fence about a beer can I wait until the end to weigh all my options? I still see Day 1 and 2 beers so I am thinking maybe...

 

Both... They'll stay up, but are first come first serve. Anything with a limit of 1 feels like a candidate to sell out before the end, but you never know.

 

Thanks, that's what I meant! I really should have replaced the or with a "/". Just wanted to make sure they weren't going to arbitrarily take away Day 1 beers on Day 5 or something like that.

 

Cracked a Mother Funker tonight. Acetic as fuck, but drinking better than I remember it tasting when it was fresh. That being said...a few ounces still had my throat feeling totally raw. Nice novelty pour, lol.

 

That's good to know, I have one still and I was curious if it was still paint thinner or not.

 

Ha ha ha... After all the "love" this week for Mint Chocolate Share This, I bet you'll all go nuts for...

Black Tuesday Double Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout Finished In Vanilla Barrels 16oz crowler. hmm, intriguing.

 

Another vote here for Geriatric Hipster! That beer blew my mind the first time I tried it!
Would also like to see the Chocolate / Orange version of Share This make a comeback. That beer was great. (Don't ever make that Mint Chip again, though, lol)

 

I see BA 4 Calling Birds is up today. No idea how that has held up, but it was easily my favorite release of all 12 years of Christmas (at least close to the original release date).

 

@iLoveDonuts @APCreative_ Given that crowlers need to be shipped immediately, are you able to divulge whether any other crowlers will be showing up later in the sale? Or are these today the only ones? Not looking for specific beer names, just wondering if I order/ship cans today if it means I'll miss out on the opportunity (assuming I don't want to pay $15 to ship a single crowler).
