Bruery Allocations

this

 

thank god there's only BA 5 Golden Rings, Bois in French Barrels, mystery beer 2, late harvest syrah / black tuesday, left, before the holidays

 

am I the only one having a hard time seeing Gray Monday on there website?

 

It goes on sale tomorrow, so yea, you would have quite the time trying to find it right now.

 

I would have guessed more than BT and less than CR landing at $35. In my book hazelnuts should be cheaper than fancy Cocoa nibs and Vanilla beans. Then again the Bruery always has pricier beers so I am not shocked by any means. Generally I don't get the vibe that Patrick and Co are trying to screw people over, they are just using expensive ingredients and a lot of them. I'd wager that it is more likely Grey Monday spends greater time in the barrel which accounts for some of that potential $5 difference.

All that said... 4 please.

 

On a related note, Bruery just tweeted that Reserve Society 2014 memberships are "almost sold out". I wonder if it's more popular this year; last year they were selling memberships up through December 31st IIRC.

 

Late harvest syrah isnt that for hoarders only?

 

In addition to that length of time, how much more hazelnut do you think might be needed to have the same impact on a barrel of beer as strong tasting as BT? And how much more loss of beer when you have more of an ingredient? And I would imagine they have a (well deserved) healthy margin on their high end beers by now (at least I hope so). So marginal ingredient cost differences seem unlikely to shift the cost dramatically, unless it's upwards. For example, would I be wildly surprised if BT + wine cost $45+? No... but I'd expect BT+any sort of baking ingredient to be $40

 

Same with Bois French Oak, yes.

 

my question is why didnt they announce the noble collaboration for next month?

its still listed as November on the reserve society site

 

I won't mind if that collaboration is moved to December, I'll be spending enough as it is.

 

im actually just wondering if it will be out this year

 

It will be out in December.

 

alright thanx for the quick answer matt

 

These are the folks who I believe are hosting the site and may have had a hand in the design: http://www.mtinc.net/

 

Yeah...only.

 

Which still means RS is probably selling out before the end of the year, which means it's more popular (or they're letting in less people which I doubt). I recall just as nanobrew did that the memberships were available until 12/31/12.

 

i got my reserve society as a post xmas gift to myself last year
