Bruery Reserve Society 2014 Allocations/Discussion Thread

[RyanG1]

I had it on draft. Paging Ryan_G and grrrah as they were there to experience the pain.

Seriously, it was terrible. If I want a ****** margarita, I'll buy a ****** margarita. I won't go through the effort to buy a crappy imitation beer version.

I don't see how anyone could've enjoyed that enough to buy a bottle. Maybe one to try, but not a second. Just disgusting, like the bad FFF collab beer.

Huh. Mine was bottled. Wonder if there is a difference.

How about we try the beer before bashing them?

That's just ridiculous dude. C'mon, this is beer.

 

[gregkoko]

People here drink beer?

 

[Usofar]

People here drink beer?

Only when it doesn't taste like beer!

 

[jtmartino1]

This is the Bruery we're talking about, do you think they're going to pass up the chance to do something gimmicky?

They're drawing all their inspiration from New Belgium and DFH.

Gimmicky popular breweries are the worst.

 

[StarRaptor1]

From the Blending Sessions

Some of the ingredients I worked with

The beer we submitted - 50% Black Tuesday, 25% Mash, 25% Sucre, Maple Syrup, Bacon, Coffee... as Usofar mentioned, it didn't scale the way we wanted it to.

My favorite blend was 7 Swans + Mischief and Rosemary

 

[grrrah]

I'm late to the bash party, but yeah, Roble Blanco sucked. But maybe it was our russian River sized taster flight. Nah, it sucked.

How about we try the beer before bashing them? I really just think that The Bruery can't win. Had they released another BT variant(or **** variant) people would be bitching that they're just releasing diabetes in a bottle. They're releasing sours and there's complaints about them being underwhelming surprises. Fwiw I think things like Berazzled, Fruited Hottenroth and more BT variants should be released but I didn't sign up for the mystery beers. If I don't want them or think they're gonna be trash I simply won't buy them. It's not like I'm getting ripped off by them, I am still getting everything I paid for when I first signed up.

Clooney?

 

[domtronzero]

Clooney?

WHEN ARE YOU COMING BACK TO THE STATES?

BTW, I think I found a pic of your dad and us in cub scouts. Was your dad the pack leader?

Ha. Yeah, he was for most of the time.

I'll be back for 2 weeks over Christmas and New Year's. We should definitely meet up when I'm back.

I'm the one holding the US flag with the bear cub kerchief. Lawlawlawlawl

That's your dad right?

 

[matedog]

Clooney?

Definitely not Kilmer.

 

[domtronzero]

Definitely not Kilmer.

Blarf! Looks like me recently (the fatness, not the strikingly handsome looks).

 

[DougOLis]

I'm the one holding the US flag with the bear cub kerchief. Lawlawlawlawl

That's your dad right?

Yup! That's him! I think I might be the one holding the other flag.

 

[domtronzero]

Yup! That's him! I think I might be the one holding the other flag.

I wonder who that Johnny Ramone-lookin ******* is on the right.

 

[domtronzero]

I wonder who that Johnny Ramone-lookin ******* is on the right.

Oh wait. That's a woman.

(Edit: all jokes aside, I hope that's not your mom)

 

[DougOLis]

(Edit: all jokes aside, I hope that's not your mom)

Ha. Nope, not my mom and I'm not sure exactly who that is.

YES! The Alpine nostalgia has spread to another thread. Don't let rcubed or Tyrsis see. Nazis.

Wasn't a scout, but that park though .

 

[Tyrsis]

Alpine needs to just burn already, and GF can take over brewing in Mira Mesa.

These poor bastards picked the wrong time to send out a survey on the 2014 Reserve Society. I mean I know they want honest feedback, but I'm not sure the timing will lead to many balanced reviews. Should be interesting.

 

[Xul1]

Did any Hoarders get a survey? I haven't received one since summer...not sure if they're sick of my opinion or if they're only sending it to RS.

apparently they don't want my opinion as I have not received a survey request (yet at least)

I'm RS and haven't received one either. I was fairly brutal in the last one they sent, then sent a pissed off email about the ****** 2015 initiation beers. So they may not want my opinion either.

 

[3rdto1st1]

It's a survey about the tasting room. I'm Hoarders, and I got it, but I think it's gotta do with being on the tasting room email list?

 

[Xul1]

I'm also on the tasting room email list. Oh well.

The one I got was just RS in general I think. It said you may get another if you're on the Tasting Room list.

 

[DougOLis]

I'm also on the tasting room email list. Oh well.

Did you visit the tasting room this year? Could be based off people who have visited recently.
