Bruery 2018 RS/HS Allocations

As well as 4-packs of YAFI...but YAFI is available at the premium single can price.

I hope/expect them to put more inventory up and make it available again before the allocation window is up as my friends I split my membership with want several items and I have not purchased any of them yet.

 

Bruery only option has BA 10 Lords, Chocolate Thunder, BT 2018, Mash & Spumoni.

Did anyone even sign up for the Terreux only option?

 

Remember Bakery at least is just a public pre-release. PMR explained above that they've allocated their stock already so there will be more for everyone, it's just hard to put on the site right now.

 

They had tons of cans of Bakery in the Tasting Room this weekend, you'd figure they'd at least wait for the allocation period to end. But since it is hitting distro, it's likely just a matter of making more available on the site.

 

It's always confused/bugged me when there are bottles available in TR that are not available online.

 

Really? As much as I usually appreciate your taste in beer, there are some things I will never be able to understand about you, friend.

 

I appreciate his taste in food. or at least, I should say, I respect the amount he eats

 

4-packs of YAFI got restocked but not Bakery?

 

I did and don't regret it. We're waiting on a Pinot Noir collab, a Key Lime Pie sour, and Rum BA Tart of Darkness.

 

While I can understand the frustrations people are having with Bakery, I have to say that it's nice to see a Bruery beer have that much demand (assuming it's not more of an inventory control issue).

 

I could be wrong but i think the frustration stems mostly from members who pay a great deal of money for “exclusive and early access to beer” but end up getting shut out on the latter while someone who isnt a member can walk into the brewery (even in DC) or a distributor and make the purchase.

Even if I was to walk by a bottle shop today and they had it, I wouldnt buy it because the price I could have gotten it for with my membership discount cant be beaten by the rediculious three tiered system and pricing in my state.

 

They retail for $7.99 here in CA (at least at the Bruery), what do you think the price would be in PA

 

I would guess ~$9-10, and that's w/o discount which we got.

 

I totally agree with @thetastywort , I wouldnt buy any Bruery beer on a shelf knowing im passing up a discount and paying the upcharge.

 

Whatever the Bruery states as the retail price plus an extra dollar is typical here in PA. And thats assuming we even see it.

So, roughly $9.50ish per can after tax instead of $7 after discount and tax if I was to buy it online and do pickup with my other allocations.

 

Shipping is the killer for me. I pay it for the ability to get exclusive beer. But for distro level beer, it's a loss. I can get a 4 pack of Mischief for $15 locally. I've got to pay sales tax either way. But the $2.25 discount I get doesn't offset the $10 in shipping I would have to pay. So even if there was a markup at the retail level, I'm still better off.

 

Where was the first one?

 

My can had some geyser action. It was straight out of the fridge so even colder than I prefer. All that said it tasted great. Better than the taster I had in the tasting room. So I wouldn’t say it’s necessarily infected but that is my first thought.
