Bruery Societies 2015 Allocations/Discussion Thread

[buzzword]

that's exactly what I thought. sneaky, sneaky...

Rhubarb sounds like Windowsill.

 

[CaptainFleeker]

I'm hoping Ruebarb is not as sour as Windowsill. That was one really seriously sour beer. The combo of rasperries and rhubarb sounds good to me though.

 

[rrryanc]

Rhubarb sounds like Windowsill.

It's like half the ABV though, which is certainly a step in the right direction.

 

[JulianB1]

I'm surprised people are poo-pooing those allocations. Everything except Cinnamonk sounds pretty awesome to me.

 

[daniel1]

Agreed. And I'll probably get a couple bottles of that too. Because why not.

 

[Xul1]

Agreed, I'm critical of a lot of the things they do but this month's beers sound great. Cinnamonk would be a lot more appealing without the cinnamon factor, but maybe they used a light hand when adding spice. The fact that the Elements of Funk series is similar to Saison de Lente is welcome news, I always thought that was an underrated beer, especially with some time in the cellar.

 

[JulianB1]

Maybe the best thing about these is that 4 out of the 5 sours are below 10% ABV (some considerably so) and only Cinnamonk is the kind of thing that sounds like the base is leftover SitR blended with leftover Anniversary old ale.

 

[CaptainFleeker]

Cinnamonk would be a lot more appealing without the cinnamon factor.

My thoughts exactly. Take the cinnamon out, regardless of the amount, and a sour brown with blueberries aged in bourbon barrels sounds incredible. And the part that I think people are missing is that it clocks in at 12.1% ABV which really has me intrigued.

 

[masterofsparks]

Cinnamonk is the one from this month's allocations that sounds questionable. There's too much opportunity for a horrible car crash of flavors, and a 12% BBA sour seems likely to be a sugary mess.

 

[Scalzo]

Mystery beer for RS is still a mystery??

 

[Xul1]

Mystery beer for RS is still a mystery??

Correct. Neither mystery beer has been announced yet.

 

[waltersrj]

Mystery beer for RS is still a mystery??

Probably infected lol.

 

[StarRaptor1]

Probably infected lol.

probably not sour enough

 

[CommanderofAwesome]

probably not sour enough

Just rerelease Ebony & Oak and Cacaonut Blend.

 

[wyatt1]

Cacaonut fresh was really nice.

 

[StonedRaider]

Just rerelease Ebony & Oak and Cacaonut Blend.

If I dig through my closet I can probably put that blend together. Any suckers willing to be test subjects?

What year BT are those?

 

[FBIinformant]

I can't imagine what some of those beers taste like now. Seriously, that Bootleggers collab? Run B.M.C ?! Seriously?

 

[StarRaptor1]

What year BT are those?

Looks like 2013, 2014 and 2015

 

[DruRho]

2011, 2012, 2015

http://mybeerbuzz.blogspot.com/2015/11/bruery-terreux-juggling-walruses-coming.html

Walruses is rumored to be the Terreux mystery beer. I have (hopefully not misplaced) moderate to high expectations for Room for me if it ever gets bottled.

 

[daniel1]

Has to be a mystery beer, right?

 

[Xul1]

Seems like it. Based on the ABV and description, I'm guessing it's Anniversary blended with Oude Tart or Sour in the Rye. Not super exciting as a mystery beer, on paper at least, but I guess it's probably at least better than Roble Blanco.

 

[waltersrj]

What is this **** and has anybody tried this at any time? What is the other mystery beer ?

So they have their marketing department making beers now? I mean, its basically CR with Salt so they could make a joke about a show that aired ~>15 yrs ago?

 

[Xul1]

Considering some of the things their brewing team has come up with, letting the marketing department make some decisions might not be a downgrade.

I mean, its basically CR with Salt so they could make a joke about a show that aired ~>15 yrs ago?

The 16.4% ABV and "brown imperial stout" designation mean it's clearly not just BT with adjuncts. Not sure if it's BT + **** or BT + something else, but I wouldn't expect it to taste like CR with salt.

Im on board with management making this decision so long as it means:
1. no more beers inspired by or meant to mimic cocktails
2. they stop blending beer noone likes and adding adjuncts to make it "new." By this point i think we all have a coffee press and can do that **** ourselves at home.

Marketing team might be better at sanitation too! (Aka all the infected beers).

I couldn't make out the ABV from the photo, but at 16.4% you're probably right. Either way, my point remains the same. It's a bit gimmicky but I bet its good. Not complaining, just having some fun with it.

I actually really liked Ukulele (and I loathe pepper beers) and really enjoyed Cabinet. Hell, I didn't hate Robo Blanco.

As for beer no one likes, most of the misses for me this yr have been the sours. Souren, Confessions, Bourgogne Blanc, Tart of Darkness were all big misses IMO. Imperial Or Xata was the only non infected, non sour beer that I thought was awful this yr.
