    They make great beers, except for one that I did not enjoy because I thought it was too heavy on the rye for me, besides that really good stuff. I usually don't reach for their beers for two reasons, price and I really don't prefer big bottles.

    Just buy a ton of Hottenroth, it's like $8/bottle, and its tasty.

    They have three tiers of their society for a reason. People, myself included, love what they do. Half of my cellar is Bruery, with more to come every month.

    Myself and a friend just completed a couple of trades to land GM, BT, MW, and CR. Really excited to try them all!

    Like any limited release highly rated beer, they are definitely worth trying. It is best to go in on some with a friend as 750ml is alot to drink by yourself. I'm a fan of Avery beers which are $15 for less than half the size of a $30 bruery beer, so I would say it's worth it. Is it expensive? Yeah, but clearly people will pay that much for these kinds of beers and most of them sell out instantly even at that price. So while it may be unjustifiable for some there are enough people that will buy it out, which is why breweries like The Bruery and Avery can charge as much as they do.

    Bruery beers are almost all worth it. They are one of the best brewery's in the world. Hands down.

    I absolutely love The Bruery's beers. The price point at first kept me at bay, but once I visited the tasting room and got to sample a bunch of different beers, I figured out their style and was hooked! Yesterday's anniversary party continued to solidify my love for what they do as I got to sample about 15 different Bruery offerings I'd never had before, and that's a hard thing to do nowadays. I was extremely happy when I tried to take a picture of the haul and had to switch to pano to get it all! For all those that don't care for them, to each his own, and more for guys like me!

    The Bruery makes great beer, they have a large variety so you're not stuck with just one type. Also most Bruery buyers are fans of the high ABV and their beers are highly cellarable so no need to consume immediately. The last thing is that they are convenient as I can buy straight from their website. Buying a beer for over $20 is a crap shoot, but it's always comes down to doing your research and knowing your palate.

    I've enjoyed their beers, but the price keeps me from wanting to try more of them.

    They are worth it, they produce consistent quality beers. I dont chase their regular distribution much, besides their Anniversary but their club beers are superb. I don't buy with my wallet either. I've drank many small companies and big company barrel-aged beers; it's all good but The Bruery puts out top-notch, quality barrel-aged beer. The label is appropriate and presentable to friends or special occasions, they've have set the standard on the West Coast for the 750ml format ONLY, price included. I still buy Bois and Sucre when I can find it and its variants. The Bruery is the only company who is nationally distributed, has like a three or four tier membership club and only sells 750ml. They typically nail most of their beer concepts, minus a couple infections but everyone has those.

    Bruery beers cellar well if you're going to get beers to age.

    Thanks guys! Tart of Darkness looks real interesting, I was just hesitant to se if it was worth $20 as well as their other offerings.

    I find their beers to be worth signing up for membership. I'm not the only one.

    Do they ship the membership beers to you if you live out of state?

    Everything is worth what its purchaser will pay.

    Solid company with varying styles per taste. Give them a shot. Golden Rings I enjoyed. Yet to try the sours, but not much into the style other than some of the more well known breweries out there.

    They make many beers which are below $20, and a few which are below $10. At least in California.

    They are hands down my favorite brewery, I love the strong, sweet beers. Especially the stouts! I do agree though that their price point is a bit much, however it's worth it to me.
