Bruery Societies 2015 Allocations/Discussion Thread

So Befuddlement and Mash and green peppers (2013), basically?

 

[benbikes4beer]

So just Befuddlement then

This was during year 1 of Hoarders if I'm not mistaken. I wasn't in Hoarders that year (I am this year) and I'm pretty sure I've had more opportunities to buy that beer this year than the Hoarders did last year.

The Bruery must have one hell of an archive.

Befuddlement was a 2014 HS exclusive, which was the second year of the HS.

This should ruffle some feathers. RS/HS get Sourrento and Wanderer tomorrow while public at the TR gets Tart of Darkness w/ Cherry & Vanilla.

I won't lie, it's difficult to rustle my personal jimmies, and this kind of does.

 

[CommanderofAwesome]

Never understood the love for ToD w/C&V. Maybe it was my bottles, but I barley got Cherries or Vanilla.

 

[CommanderofAwesome]

Wanderer is up. This is the 3rd or 4th time since last yr it's been available I believe.

or dark sours at all


except for Five/Pentagram


but that's a brett beer so it's cool

"limited"

That's true, typically dont like dark sours as much and I loathe Dark Saisons. Has to be the worst style of beer.

 

[beerandraiderfan]

Tart of Darkness w/ C&V might be the best beer Bruery has ever made. Well 2nd best (Chocolate Rain). ****, Black Tuesday Reserve is pretty awesome too.

3rd best.

 

[benbikes4beer]

Yeah Cherry and Vanilla was the PERFECT treatment to an otherwise underwealming beer.

 

[franch]

i don't like TOD or dark sours very often (and never sour stouts). TODCV was AMAZING.

 

[matedog]

Didn't get distinct vanilla, but the cherries were strong for me. I'm not really into ToD, but the C&V variation was awesome.

 

[daniel1]

Maximum rustling: it was limit two for ToD.

SONOFABITCH!

Good lord those glasses are beautiful. ISO the same

These are up on the store. One per. Less than 20 left

 

[axeman91821]

Much obliged daniel, managed to snag one. I don't usually care a ton about glassware, but I really like that one.

 

[DougOLis]

Thanks for the heads up!

 

[caaam]

either they're gone, or they're society only. Either way I missed out

 

[domdomdomdom]

Anyone know what glass that would be?

I was thinking it was this one

From the email - "Custom crystal Riedel tasting glass" so chances are high you are correct

Drank a plain jane bruery shelf turd last night and enjoyed it more than many of the society only brews ive had in recent memory.

8 maids a milkin is solid. I highly recommend drinking one while eating gingersnap/gingerbread cookies.

Huge cocoa character in it with sweetness and some lactose-like mineral thing going on. I bet the barrel aged version will be exquisite.

 

[axeman91821]

My trustee got a growler fill of it for me and I thought it was really good as well. My cousin and I paired it with giant Reese's peanut butter cups, which worked quite well.

Huh interesting. I thought it was absolutely terrible. I could barely finish my glass. I thought the Belgian part of it just overwhelmed everything with its shittiness. Wonder if my bottle was just bad.

You know what... im sorry. I should have precursed my post by saying yesterday was really an interesting day for my taste buds and it might not have been in the best state to form opinions and publicly post about it.

When I got home from work, I decided to drink egg nog that was a year old. (Homemade science experiment with whiskey added to it.) That was in a growler in my fridge from last year.
It looked good and it smelled fine so I took a huge gulp and then proceeded to vomit. Fearing I gave myself an insane dose of salmonella, i started drinking whiskey to attempt to neutralize my innards.

3 healthy glasses of smooth ambler later, i then ate supper (bacon) and then decided to open the 8 maids with a sidecar of gingerbread men cookies

your experience may vary

hmmm, weird. That is how I tried it too and I agree with shadowane

Dude...wow. What's on tap for the weekend? Unprotected sex with a dozen of your city's finest crackwhores? Cutting your airbags and seatbelts out of your car before you start a Grand Theft Auto LARPing group?

I have some two year old eggnog that have been enjoying this month. I am sure yours was fine.

 

[user 305778]

Glad to know I wasn't crazy. I read somewhere else about someone liking it as well. The description sounded good too! So disappointing.

 

[djmichaelk]

...3 healthy glasses of smooth ambler later, i then ate supper (bacon)...

I'm pointing to this post from now on whenever I have just bourbon and bacon for dinner if the wife complains.

 

[spicecowboy]

FWIW some Southern hemisphere control on Humulus terreux.

I had a bottle a few days ago and thought it was by and large subtle and well held.

No aspect was remotely conspicuous or offensive.

 

[benbikes4beer]

Has anyone had Humulus Rueuze? I'm a huge hoppy brett beer fan, but by and large really don't like dry hopped sours. (de Garde doesn't count lol)

Seems most people do the Amarillo hopped sours which end up tasting like briny pickle water. Quite interested in the Elements of Funk line.

H Rueuze definitely had the pickle issue. We had it head to head with Dry-Hopped Oak Theory, and Casey won in a walk, largely because no pickles.

Elements of Funk are good but tend to be over-carbed, so open with caution.

So store them at room temp, ride them to a bottle share in my backpack, then immediately open?

If it's a foam party, definitely.

 

[user 306926]

Anyone able to grab one of dem stemmed Terreux glasses for a glasswhore?
Yikes, reading back.... only if everyone else is taken care of first.

Were there a limited amount of these or just an access issue?

 

[daniel1]

Blue BBLs and Griffon Bruxellois now up. I'm laughing at the description for Griff saying its cellars me for up to two years. It's what, three years old? Anyone try it recently?

They were given to people who attended the Terreux Vue event with some remainders going up on the store.

I opened one ~8 months ago and it was flat/not good.
