Bruery Allocations

I'd have to assume Black Tuesday is in the bunch. Grey Monday and Melange #1 can't be far behind... my wallet is scared. I bet they mix BA Autumn Maple in there too. Next month is BA Strong Ales I believe so hopefully GM will wait until Nov.

 

Unless I'm missing something, there are 10 RS beers left in the year (plus a Provisions release or two possibly), and here's how I would roughly guess we'll see them:

OCTOBER
Black Tuesday
Rueuze
Bourbon Autumn Maple
Rye Smoking Wood

NOVEMBER
Mystery Beer #2
Grey Monday
Melange #1

DECEMBER
Melange #3
Bourbon Smoking Wood
BA 5 Golden Rings

 

Its WAY better than New Glarus RT. It actually tastes like the inside and outside of a pie.Its lightly tart and somewhat sweet . The aftertaste is like sweet, bready, well, pie crust. I was really amazed. (And i loved RT)

 

FTFY

 

Pretty sure Melange 3 isn't an RS only beer, whereas BA 5 golden rings is.

 

Yeah, its was more satire on what's actually worth getting.

 

I think nicks6217 was being snarky about the relative lack of interest for Smoking Wood, 5GR, and the other beers he crossed out.

Also, M#3 isn't an RS exclusive, but it's still an upcoming allocation. I was listing the remaining allocations, not just society exclusives.

 

Snarky it was.

 

Going to be an expensive few months.

 

I would tread carefully when it comes to snark.

 

I've heard, RIP to fallen hommies!

 

What do you have against Rueuze? The bottle I had a few weeks ago was pretty damn good and I'll definitely be maxing out on it again.

 

Saw Melange #3 at a bottle shop here in San Diego last night. Didn't look to see if the bottle was dated Most likely a previous years years?

 

It is an older year, 2013 hasnt been released yet and will probably have a year on the label. Also dont think M3 sees any distribution. It is $30 from the tasting room.

 

It was definitely #3 it was marked 39.99 and the only bottle I saw on the shelf. I was surprised to see it there myself, a little pricey for me though.

 

most likely they are and RS/HS member and are illegally selling it second hand (hence the large markup). If I see a store doing this I choose to not buy anything from them. There are plenty of other great stores out there.

 

"I was told that Mystery Beer #2 was going to be late December because they wanted to close out the year with something incredible."

This sounds very encouraging; looking forward to finding out what it will be. A BT varient would be awesome but something tells me with the 2014 BT varients that are hoarder exclusives, a BT varient for the 2013 RS/HS members is unlikley.

 

I'm very curious to see what Mystery Beer #2 will be. The last big surprise of the year, and I've seen no hints about what it could possibly be.

 

I thought Melange #3 saw some distro last year? I saw it at a bunch of stores that don't normally put out RS/HS member beers.
