Bruery Perservation Society

The thing I'm still not 100% clear on is are these Preservation beers ones that are going to be publicly released or publicly distributed. Because although I'm only an hour away from The Bruery, there's a world of difference in paying $54 for 3 beers that I could get at my local WF vs ones that I can only get at the Provisions Store.

 

I'm in the Bay Area, so publicly released or publicly distributed, it's still a bargain for me. I'm paying $20+ on almost all Bruery bottles with the exception of Autumn Maple, 5 Golden Rings. Everything else is $20+ at my shop nearby. Anything barrel aged is $25 easily. Reuze for example is $30 I believe at the shop. So it seems like a bargain to me

 

Anyone got the on sale time?

 

I don't have the time, however signups will open up when the new webstore goes online.

 

which is supposedly today

 

From today's email it will be Wednesday

 

What did the email say?

 

ecommerce (beta) goes live on wed. :dancing banana:..oh and provisions closed.

 

I might have to bite the bullet on this one... but over the course of the year it's 216 and reserve society is only an extra 80 bucks on top of that. although the quarterly charge is a nice touch

 

Is there a list of what beers are available in this? I would like to see what is available before I buy it, although I think I'm gonna probably end up doing it regardless just for the sours

 

They dropped a little flyer for this in the 3 beer gift set they had available from the Provisions store over the holidays. Trying to find the one that came with mine but no luck so far. I remember looking at it and thinking it was a pretty good deal, every quarter was two of their "bigger" beers ($~25+) and a third one for $54 total. Followed a Sour + a Strong ale + a third structure for the beers every quarter, there was a style for the third but its slipping my mind. I know I saw Black Tuesday, Chocolate Rain, White Chocolate, Sour in the Rye with Kumquats, and that coffee barley wine they're making on the list but in separate quarters. If I remember correctly, the 4th quarter was almost all mystery beers. Going to keep looking for the flyer for a more exact list.

 

The webstore is currently offline at the moment, so if everything goes according to plan(which may or may not happen), the new store and signups will be online tomorrow.

 

Here's the beer listing by quarter from the flyer I had;

1st:e Quarter: Sans Pagaie, Imperial Loakal Red, Chocolate Rain
2nd: Quarter: Kumquat Sour in the Rye, Mystery Provisions Ale, BA Coffee Barley Wine
3rd: Cherry Oude Tart, Weizenbauch, White Chocolate
4th: Mystery collaboration, mystery sour, 2013 Black Tuesday

 

holy crap are reserve members getting those beers as well? imperial loakal red, i love the regular stuff! cherry oude tart, ba coffee barleywine, damn that list is looking pretty good, and pretty damn close to the RS beers

any speculation or rumors on the 2 mystery beers?

 

Crap. Now I might need to be in. They had me at Chocolate Ryan and Kumquat Sour.

 

I wasn't going to do this, and I thought I waasn't going to think twice... well think twice I did. I am definitely signing up as soon as I can.

 

Yeah I'm in. Hopefully I can sign up Friday still. I'm definitely in.

Chocolate Rain
Kumquat Sour In The Rye
White Chocolate
Black Tuesday
Cherry Oude Tart

Hopefully they allow multiples of Chocolate Rain, Sour In the Rye and Black Tuesday

 

I hope one of them is the Blueberry Sour that was mentioned for RS members. Then the other 2 I have no idea

 

I'm looking for a trustee, would just need somebody to ship the three bottles once per quarter. I'll send you some tasty beers in return, BM me

 

Wonder if you will have to be a member all year or just be able to join every three months or so?
