Bruery 2018 RS/HS Allocations

So assuming I'm done purchasing for the year (no guarantee, I rather liked American Copper...), as a Hoarder my spending (bottles and membership) increased by 9.4%. If I'm math-ing correctly, I believe that means that if I account for the extra 5% discount, my beer acquisitions increased by just under 9.9%. I'm okay with that, but early NY resolution is not to increase...

 

It's beer-wine time.....

Once the Bruery actually updates the website. Honestly, c'mon man.

 

They're up now.

 

$30 tap room credit?? Is that a HS thing, or did I miss the fine print on my RS?

 

Rs here and I got mine sometime in summer

 

If you're RS you have a $30 credit to spend by the end of the year. I think it was a result of them lowering the price of RS last year after people had already paid to re-up...

 

I thought the credit expired Sept 30? Or did they change that?

 

You had to renew by Sept 30th in order to get the credit. I am HS though.

 

I used mine on a hoodie for a Christmas gift last weekend so it's definitely not expired. Again, I think the September 30th date was the cut-off LAST YEAR before which you had to renew in order to be eligible for the credit.

 

Is there a code or something on file that they know about the credit? I never used mine still and should soon. I thought it was for only crowler, not merch.

 

And it shows nothing about it expiring this year.

 

They had info on file (just looked it up on computer), I used mine at Terreux on a Crowler and a hat, so it works on merch too.

 

Ok Cool. Thanks! I Better use it before my membership ends next week lol

 

Just make sure you have the page printed out from your email. That’s a must.

 

If you just print the body of the email, there's a tiny number printed at the bottom of the "Good for $30 credit" section that they'll check against their system to make sure it hasn't been used before.

 

Anyone know what's in the Hoarder's welcome package for 2019? And the RS one? and when they are available? I'm guessing 1/7/19 ?

 

If things like Cherry CR and American Anthem are them unloading unsold stock then I bet those are in initial package. If they're brewing new batches then who knows.

 

I was looking at the TR bottle list online yesterday and saw Melange 12 (it's gone now) - I was hoping that was foreshadowing for today but apparently not. I'm slightly irritated if they did sell it to the public cause in three years as a member I have not once been offered an online allocation. Maybe it was a typo.

 

Picked up the Chronology old ale 4 pack. The 24 is tasting fantastic right now, has been staying under the radar and is a magical beer imo. I will give the Bruery this much, they really know how to do old ales...

 

AttaBoy is on point! Very fruit heavy which is good--should age well as it mellows.
HCuvee is a bit cinnamon heavy, but it's gingerbread alright. If I recall, cinnamon doesn't fade with age which is a shame. Still a good beer unless (like my wife) you don't like cinnamon in your beer.
