Bruery 2015 RS/HS Allocations

Lulz. Eight more bottles and it isn't even July... #hoardingdoneright

 

I opened one a month ago. I am quite sensitive to diacetyl and was not able to detect any. The mango pulp really added body to the beer which is atypical for the style. Collectively I enjoyed it even though I dislike mango. However, as it warmed up you could pick out unfavorable attributes such as grassiness, sulfur and a strong wheat presence which are all things I typically dislike in my berliners.

There very well might be bottle variation but I also think their berliner yeast strain needs time to hit its stride and clean things up.

 

You guys wait a day so my check clears and I can get in on the second chance stuff.

 

Filmishmish is sold out. SITR w/P is still available.

 

That's surprising.

 

A little perhaps, but not terribly surprising though, just depends on how much of each they made available really.

 

We need to crowd-fund a guinea pig to pick up and open bottles the week they are available. Pretty bummed I put in an order for peach hottenroth the day before sales closed (Thurs) to hear several negative reports on that Fri/Sat.

I know most that are close to the TR take advantage of draft pours to avoid opening bottles until they have to but someone needs to dive on the grenade and let everyone know of impending disappointments. I usually go there ~1-2x per month but not on a regular schedule. Even if it were something like taking turns with other BAs opening a set of monthly allocations to get the word out, I'd be down.

 

"On Tuesday, we're tapping what is soon to be a cult classic: Culture Club. It's a limited release sour blond ale made refreshingly tart with the addition of lactobacillus, brettanomyces, peaches and cherries.


Thus far, it has only been available at our Copperversary and Tasting Room in extremely limited amounts. Starting at 12:00 p.m. on Tuesday, June 23, you'll find it in the Tasting Room again. "

 

"Soon to be a cult classic" ... REALLY??? LMAO!!! Not presumptuous at all

 

It's no fuzzy peaches.

 

Wasn't a fan of Culture Club at all

 

A REAL cult classic. You can't just... make a cult classic happen by saying it. (Yes, I understand the use of the beer name in this)

 

More Sour in the Rye with Pineapple and Coconut please. Much better than Fuzzy Peaches. Though both absolutely tasty.

 

Pretty sure it's a play on words... "CULTure Club"

 

Yeah, wasn't a fan of culture club at the anniversary. But this upcoming cocktail cup tho....

 

I didn't have any at the anniversary... I was too shy.....

 

that tiki mug is amazing. im sure it wont be cheap but totally worth it i think lol

 

Wait, that was Kagagoogoo, I need to bone up on my 80's jams.

 

DAT TIKI MUG THOUGH!!! I can see that being an instant cult classic!!!

 

The reviews for Culture Club are pretty polarizing. Anyone care to share their thoughts on the brew?
