    Per email I just received:

    Dear Reserve Society member,
    It's time again for some beer allocations and this month we have a spectacular trio of offerings.
    The following beers will be for sale between today and March 30th via society.thebruery.com

    Otiose
    5 Bottle Limit - $20/bottle ($17 after RS discount)
    Defined as "serving no practical purpose", the recipe for Otiose was developed during a rare break in the brewing schedule; a recipe we came up with to satisfy our own desires and nothing more. The result is a sour brown ale aged in oak barrels to which we added guava. Riddled with tropical notes which are balanced by it's malty backbone, Otiose is a rich and decadent sour ale.
    8.2% ABV, Cellerable for up to 3 years
    Sans Pagaie
    5 Bottle Limit - $20/bottle ($17 after RS discount)
    French for "without a paddle", Sans Pagaie is our take on a Belgian Kriek. We added an incredible amount of cherries to this sour blonde ale and then we decided to add more. The result is a well balanced fruited sour ale, perfect on it's own, even better with a slice of chocolate cake.
    5.8% ABV, Cellerable for up to 3 years

    Bourbon Barrel Aged Smoking Wood
    3 Bottle Limit - $20/bottle ($17 after RS discount)
    RS EXCLUSIVE
    Brewed with beachwood and cherrywood smoked malt, and aged in bourbon barrels, Smoking Wood is a delicious demonstration of what wood has to offer when it comes to beer. This imperial smoked porter is brewed with a hefty amount of rye malt, contributing to a full body and light spiciness. Toasty oak, caramel and vanilla flavors balance the smokiness, contributing to an intense yet refined flavor profile.
    The previous release of Smoking Wood was aged in rye whiskey barrels while this more limited version was aged in bourbon barrels, contributing a different nuance to the already complex ale.
    13% ABV, Cellerable for up to 3 years

    Pretty excited for all of them but especially the Kriek....one of the reasons I bought the RS membership.

    The two sours sound amazing. Now I have to figure out how to pay for them all. I didn't realize how quickly the new beers would be coming!

    This is going to hurt the wallet. I might be maxing these as well.

    So Otiose is basically ISO:FT without the dates?

    So when Patrick said allocations every other month the "other" was clearly a misstatement

    You didn't get the memo. A month for the Bruery consists of only 15 days. That memo must have just been available to Tier 2 members on the RS forums.

    Damn this is amazing, these beers look so good. My local bottle shop is going to be hurting from all the business I won't be able to afford to give them because of these fine Bruery beers.

    So stoked for the party, too.

    The smoked bourbon porter sounds damn tasty.

    These all look amazing. And just yesterday I thought I was going to be able to stay ahead of my beer budget.

    I am guessing he misunderstood the question. He was probably thinking you were asking "how often will I need to pick up my allocations with a UHaul?" or "how often do I need to give you my entire paycheck". Either way, every other month seems about right

    I feel ya on this. I rarely even stop by the bottle shop anymore. If I do, I'm buying 20% of what I used to. Beyond the $$$ issue, I'm running out of room to house all this great beer. Cellar can't take no 'mo!!

    Also, while 'Sans Pagaie' is very fancy schmancy, I always thought 'upshits' Kriek would be an awesome name for a beer. Don't know if that would pass the TTB approval process, but it's worth a shot.

    I'm excited for all of these as well. I do wish everything was spread out more than 3-4 weeks so I could have more time to save. I'm spending like $130-$200 nearly every month just on RS stuff lol. OUCH! *my wallet talking*

    I am excited for that sour brown. That sounds amazingly tasty with the guava.

    Cheers!

    Glad I split my RS with two other guys. I can't afford all this by myself!

    I'm in for half a RS membership and I certainly can't afford half the allotment! I may give the Otiose a pass and get my share of the other 2.
