2017 SARA Cellar thread

[chemman141]

Are they not brewing that again? That is one of my favs from them.

Just saying I miss it and can't wait for fresh bottles of it. That citrus funk is where it's at.

No, I'm pretty confident they have more—during a recent trip there, a friend and I saw the labeled 12-bottle boxes through the upper window while waiting outside.

Plus, the foudred version did compose 1/4th of the blend for Variations on a Theme (and the other components—wood-aged Anais (AKA Foudre #2), Four Legs Good, and I believe the correct batch of Lady in Grey—have all been released in bottles), so I'd say it's just a matter of time.

Awesome, can't wait.

I remember the first time I was fooled by a certain label on a box through that window.

Anybody in the East Bay interested in a pair of 2016 and a pair of 2017 SARA'S Cellar glasses? I have too much glassware, and will give these up for some Fieldwork crowlers, Alvarado cans, or any other readily available hoppy beer in the East Bay. Send me a PM.

Can someone tell me what just the membership cost was for 2015 and what the bottles were for 2016? I'm trying to work out some $$ and shipping issues that have gotten out of hand with my partner who was supposed to be handling our beer and trustee. Thanks in advance!

Sorry, another question or two...Why were there only 6 bottles in 2016 as opposed to the 12 in 2015? Was it two bottle of each in '16 since there were only 6 bottles?

I'm sorry, I'm completely blind in this. Any and all info without having me read the entire 2016 thread is helpful.

Basically my partner never had my trustee pick up any of our beer over the last 9 quarters and some of it may be as good as gone since it's been so long. Before I lose my **** over the money I've given which may be gone not even considering the beer, I wanna make sure I have my ducks in a row.

Sounds like a wasted membership. I'll take your spot. Thanks.

Yikes. Do you know if Sante held onto them? Their general policy is to hold member beers until the next release (so essentially they hold onto each release for 3 months), although they may be a little flexible.

Hit me up if you need a new trustee.

Hit me up if you need a new trustee.

I've actually taken over and started to speak to the trustee myself and I don't think he's been the problem, it's my partner who I trusted would handle everything.

Thank you very much for the offer though, I appreciate it.

 

[shanrath]

Wait—not to be overly critical, but how do you go over two years (and three ~$300 payments) without seeing any of your beer, club extras, or really (from what it sounds like) even a shred of your membership and only now start asking questions?

This sounds like an awful situation and I wish you the simplest resolution, but it sounds very strange.

Idk, trust? I was told the beer was always safe in the hands of the trustee, which I'm just learning now wasn't the case, so I was never really too concerned with when I received it. In hindsight, I obv should've stepped in sooner.

What's the rustic report on the Loquaciousness? I don't think I've ever tasted a loquat even.
