Bruery 2016 RS/HS Allocations

If I could get SitR, Sans Pag, Film, and Rueuze on the shelf, I would start to question being a member honestly.

 

Or I don't need 8 bottles of it considering all the other beer out there. I still have multiples of last years version and think I only drank 2 for the year. As much as I love bruery beer there are lots of other breweries out there and I only can drink so much.
Finally, had ruebarb last weekend, it was fantastic.

 

So two of my favorite Bruery beers are going to be out there in more abundance and I get them for 20% off list? I'm failing to see the negative here.

 

I think it's in reference to your comment about questioning your continued membership.

 

People don't read. It clearly states that this on the website:

"A limited quantity of bottles may be available for public release in the Tasting Room and on TheBrueryStore.com"

It will NOT see massive distro. It won't even hit stores. It will only be available at the tasting room and on the website.

 

It wasn't meant as a negative. More excited to see the sours that caused me to join in the first place availabe o shelves.

 

I wasn't the one who made the comment, but I wholeheartedly agree about killer beer being more available. But, I'll totes keep using the discount as long as I can.

 

soooo... is Poterie worth it?

 

Yes

 

I should have been more clear in my speculation it will be available for public vs member only. Which you confirmed. Technically its already distributed via the society membership as it is.

 

While I like Sourrento, this months allocations bummed me out. Yeah I know everyone's wallet is jumping for joy but I want that SITR w/coconut and pineapple now.

 

Even if they were to go public, you are guaranteed access to a set amount at a discount in addition to all the other stuff we love.

 

Scotch poterie may have set the record for the beer to go from HS exclusive to RS. But that saves me from buying six more. looks like a cheap month for me.

 

Looks like the additional merchandise is back up.

 

WTH? I thought the ordering deadline was yesterday.

 

My guess is that too many people forgot to order... or were too broke to.

 

Matt confirmed that tonight. I think today is the real last day.

Quick reviews for tonight.

Filmishmish is closer to years past than last years batch, and for me that is a good thing. Tons of funk in the nose and lot of apricot with a nice sour bite to it.

Sourrento - I just had last years batch week before last and I think side by side, I think the previous batch is slightly better, but that might be solved by letting this years batch warm up a bit.

Both are great beers overall and if you like previous batches then you will like this years batch.

 

Opened a Blue BBLs last night, it's tasting fantastic, can't wait for the next batch.

 

About 45 minutes ago, I received an email from [email protected] with the subject "Order Was Refunded." The email says "Your order from The Bruery Store with order number xxxxxx has been refunded." I logged in and looked at my order history, but I don't have an order with the order number mentioned in the email. Based on the sequence of order numbers, the order number mentioned in the email fell between orders I placed on May 29, 2015 and June 19, 2015. I replied and asked what the refund was for since their email didn't say, so I'll see what they say. Just wondering if anyone else got one of these emails?

 

Do they still use a single excel spreadsheet to run their entire business?
