The Bruery (2021)

Just saw an email that the OC Fair is on this year. Opens July 16th.

 

I thought I remember them saying something about it in one of their last happy hour YouTube tastings. Something like they want to do something but trying to figure out what they are allowed to do with restrictions

 

Box is coming together...

@iLoveDonuts these sound awesome!

 

So the box is going to be in cans. Interesting.

 

I definitely prefer that since I have to mule it to Texas from DC.

 

I am casting an arched eyebrow at "blonde stout" though... Is this more "imperial brown when you mean Barleywine" style naming shenanigans on their wheatwine?

 

Hopefully blonde stout like naughty sauce.

 

Definitely, plus to see price point

 

My first thought was something like Hold the Spoon

 

Was saving my last mash and FT. Finally opened it, it’s drinkable, but more of a cinnamon bomb than when fresh. Bummer. Hope this one gets done again. Can’t find the bottle Mark, but I think a year is about the shelf life

 

Oh damn. Poterie drinking REAL good.

 

It’s going to be a good box.

 

Big ole, viscous, adujncted, barrel aged, blonde stout

 

My brow remains good naturedly furrowed

 

Did this link always have 3 beers and I missed the Créme De La Créme (2nd blonde stout)? Or was it two originally and they just recently added a third?

 

I'm pretty sure that one was added later on as I missed it as well.

 

It's a Box, 4 beers 2 cans of each + 2 small batch glasses. Can confirm the beers are fuego, our donut friends (pun intended) are awesome,(oxford comma because Val insists) and we will be doing some fun stuff with them as well.

Another few important questions for this group.... Virtual Happy Hours. We think they're fun and a thing, I want to keep them going as I know we have a big group of non local members and fans who seem to enjoy them. Our next one is planned for 4/16 at 6:00 PM PST (the time change was due to a vote we took on twitter and it seems to be a better time for people to tune in). I'm playing with the format a bit - this will be more of a panel focused on barrel-aging and blending to coincide with the release of our barrel series box in April. We're going to have some pretty fun guests on, Patrick will be joining us, along with some peeps from Highwest Distillery, Cigar City, and a few other TBA friends. We'll have a Virtual Happy Hour pack again that is focused on barrel-aged beers that we can comment on. So my questions are these:

1) What really is the best time to tune in live for a livestream on a Friday?
2) What questions would you have about barrel-aging and blending (I would like to focus mainly on questions this next round)
3) Who do you want to see on this panel?
4) Are you as excited as I am about this donut box?

TLDR; donut box is going to be awesome. Send me your questions for our barrel-aging and blending panel. PS if this get's ...... 30 likes Ap Creative will share the box designs for the donut box here.

Peace!

 

Personally I'm always doing family stuff in the evenings so probably any time you chose would be bad

Barrel aging is the one thing I feel would be super interesting to hear about though... Everything from how you decide what type of barrel to use, methodology on the beers that use two or more different barrel types and how you decide what to combine, what's a premium barrel type you'd never use and why?

 

April 16th is my birthday! Do it!
