Bruery 2014 RS/HS Allocations

Was able to grab some Wanderer, SitR w/ Kumquats, and another Mocha Wednesday sans issue. Given this sale is spanning a few days, I wonder how much stock they have of these beers. Must be more than they had for the previous "stress test" sales.

Would have grabbed more Bottleworks XII too as I love that beer, but I still have three bottles kicking around in the cellar and I'm trying to cut back

 

Look at it from an appeasement standpoint. Those 3 (and MW for Hoarders) are HUGE hits. Easy way to call down the masses and keep the complaining to a minimum. Style wouldn't matter for appeasement if what they're offering had been hugely popular in the Socieities. And with the 3 sours, the pricing is a little but higher than Couverteur, but it's roughly what would've been spent on that beer if it had released.

 

Not sure if serious, or just trolling...

I don't know why they're doing it and I'm not going to complain about the opportunity to get more of these tasty intentionally sour beers.

 

dead serious. My melange 3 was tart.

 

You need to click on the current allocations tab, it doesn't show up if you just click the 'beer' thing at the top right.

 

What a great cellar sale! Mocha Wednesday is still up on the site.

 

So for the Hoarders members, anyone heard anything about Befuddlement? It's something we were supposed to get 2 of with our membership, so I'm really kind of curious.

 

I cannot wait for it, it's the primary reason I joined Hoarders. I'm hoping it's coming this next allocation.

 

Before they removed some of the descriptions, I think it was listed as Tart of Darkness (w/fruit?) and a "strong ale" blend.

 

-- 2 bottles of Befuddlement - Blend of Anniversary, Sour in the Rye and Boysenberries
This was from the line of what was included in membership.

 

Also, anyone heard anything about what the status of Pilot Beer #1 (the Old Fashioned style beer) is? They announced the winner on March 27th, curious when we'll end up seeing it.

 

I believe it was anniversary ale, a sour ale, and boysenberries.

 

So I had an M3 last night, FYI. Not a hint of tartness nor any signs of infection of any kind.

 

Got one each of BWXII, Wanderer and SitR Kumquats. Glad I did - looks like BWXII is gone now. They said there wasn't enough for all RS/HS members to buy 1 of each....guess they weren't kidding!

 

I'm so confused how there are still bottles of SitR w/Kumquats and Wanderer available.

 

Duh. Patrick Rue is the original Hoarder.

 

I'm not complaining.

 

Presumably a combination of ample supply and a lot of RS/HS members not really needing or wanting any more bottles. This is the second time this year they've offered additional allocations of those beers, so everyone has had plenty of chances to stock up already.

 

Of course the online store isn't accepting gift cards right now :|

 

Sadly yes
