Bruery 2018 RS/HS Allocations

Maybe that means we'll be getting a ton of Grand Reserve in 2020!

 

That’s what I thought too but the email said they have to keep refreshing allocations because the demand has been so high this year.

 

That marketing didn’t work on me but the one before it where that said they changed the recipe to make it darker and aged it longer did work. I bought more haha.

 

Has anyone heard anything about early entry for the Black Tuesday event?
Thought I heard about an email going out to a lucky few.

 

I got my early entry e-mail on the 17th.

Session 1:
3:15 p.m.: Early Access check in opens

Definitely seems to be Terreux's take on Last Slice, I'm into it!

 

Pretty interesting about the wine hybrids: https://beerandbrewing.com/brewing-with-wine-grapes/

 

ISO!

 

Ah that reminds me of last years event... Stood in like for a 10 min breather at Mostra to score the BT BA coffee beans. Grabbed a bag, had a few dozen more tasters of BT variants and like the drunk dope I was left my beans at the event.

Cheers to those attending, last year was a blast! Blending was a lot of fun too if you want to make your own variants.

 

Beyond update on early access (which I received), anyone else get updates or teasers on tonight? It's been very quiet and kind of disappointing. I usually like the lists or other teasers to build hype leading to the event. As of now, it's like it barely exists.

 

This is everything I can find on the event:

ISO: non-BT allocations

 

Black Tuesday is looking pretty BLACK this year.

 

I enjoyed BT, definitely tasting good. Highlights of the show for me were the Spicy Island Tuesday (pineapple + habanero), the breakfast cereal BT, and the mix of Grand Reserve BT with Double Barrel Tahitian vanilla BT (recommended by the guy pouring in that delightful HS only room with couches). Needless to say, I was quite pleased with the night, with one (minor) issue: there will never be enough bacon wrapped dates.

 

This is pretty much my assessment. Also a shout out for Pistachio Strawberry Vanilla BT, and Samoa BT (blending winner) which I really enjoyed. Key Lime Pie and King Black Tuesday were okay, kind of disappointed by King. Did anyone enjoy slushie BT? I also thought the Mixology BT was a cool concept.
