RIDE THAT GOATTM
13.8% abv
$19.99 $15.99
Purchase Limit: 4 bottles
Society Exclusive

Ride That Goat is our spin on the classic, hearty, German wheat beer. Brewed to be bold and aged in our barrel cellar for a year, this is a rich variation on a stellar beer style: weizenbock. We took all those gooey, chocolatey, bready, vanilla, banana and spice flavors found in the German-style wheat bock beer and imperialized them. We then rammed everything into a full-bodied bourbon barrel embrace, catapulting flavors of vanilla, caramel and coconut. Believe us when we say, once you Ride That Goat, you'll never go bock.​

PRAIRIE RUETM
6.9% abv
$14.99 $11.99
Purchase Limit: 4 bottles
Society Exclusive

Prairie Rue is a collaboration that was born out of years of admiration and friendship between the founders of Prairie Artisan Ales and The Bruery & Bruery Terreux. Using hops chosen for their lemony and floral aroma plus 100% Munich malt, this farmhouse ale was barrel-fermented in oak with several strains of brettanomyces, revealing pleasant wafts of prairie grains, orange blossom honey and lemony-floral funk. A refreshing, crisp bready backbone is complimented by a balance of citrus hop flavors and woody, earthy flavors and spice characters. When thinking about this beer, it's hard to say whether it's more of a Prairie beer or a Bruery Terreux beer. And that's exactly how collaborations should be.​

ARRRGGGHHH!TM
7.7% abv
$14.99 $11.99
Purchase Limit: 6 bottles
Preservation Series

MASHTM (2015)
12.5% abv
$19.99 $15.99
Purchase Limit: 6 bottles

An English barley-wine aged in bourbon barrels, Mash is an intense yet balanced beer with notes of burnt caramel, toasted bread, ripe pear, dried figs, vanilla, toasted coconut and finishes with oak tannin. This has become an instant favorite around the brewery due to its balance, subtle complexities and overwhelming deliciousness.​

that ride that goat sounds deeeeeeelish

that ride that goat sounds deeeeeeelish

Is this sarcastic? I'm having a little trouble believing that people are that excited about a 14% barrel aged wheat beer. I'm passing on all of mine. Prairie Rue at least sounds interesting.

 

[mantismb]

Prairie Rue is a great Farmhouse Ale. Smooth and balanced. Ride that Goat is a really thick traditional style Bock with that imperial Bruery twist. It was well talked about in the tasting room.

To me it tasted like an Eisbock I had a few weeks ago. I wouldn't write it off just yet, but I could see why some wouldn't care for it.

Nope, but I have a soft spot for all things bock. Local option petite morte was the same style and was delicious.

Takes all kinds I suppose .

A brewer friend clued me into one of his industry inside jokes that

deeeeeeelish

was code for diacetyl. I can't unhear that so now I always assume it means infection haha.

**** it. I'd still buy it.

 

[user 305963]

I've been waiting all year for this. Only 20.5% and deceptively smooth?

Anybody had a chance to try Ride That Goat or Prairie Rue yet? Trying to figure out how much to get.

On the other site people are raving about ride the goat so I bought two. Carmel and vanilla notes with a subtle barrel presence. Rue from what I've seen untapped and on the other site it was a bit of disappointment. Prairie has better offerings in their year round catalog for lesser of the price than Rue. <--I bought one of the Rue and two of the goat.

I don't like bocks but they made it sound like a barleywine so I was sold.

Sorry may not address exactly what you're looking for.

That's what I've gathered so far as well.

JEEZUSS

Today's allocations are huge. ******* brutal on the wallet.

​

Black Tuesday®
19.9% ABV
$29.99 $23.99
Purchase limit: 12

For most of you, Black Tuesday needs no introduction. This beer is our take on a bourbon barrel aged imperial stout. The 2015 edition is the biggest release yet in many ways, clocking in at 19.9% ABV. Rich caramel, toasted malt, vanilla, burnt wood and anise are just a few of the many flavors in this rich, decadent imperial stout.

​

Black Tuesday ReserveTM
20.5% ABV
$39.99 $31.99
Purchase limit: 6
Hoarders Society Exclusive

For years, Black Tuesday has needed little, if any, introduction. But Black Tuesday Reserve is a different matter entirely. Brewed in early 2014, Black Tuesday Reserve was aged in bourbon barrels for 10 months and then racked into a second collection of bourbon barrels, where it rested until bottled in autumn 2015. The double barrel-aging process of the 20.5% ABV beer has made it even more decadent while intensifying its characteristics, with flavors of dark chocolate fudge, sweet vanilla beans, bourbon-laced macaroons, sticky caramel, brown sugar, and German chocolate cake frosting.

Imperial CabinetTM
Collaboration with Jester King
8.3% ABV
$22.99 $18.39
Purchase limit: 6
Limited Release

Many things can happen when collaborating breweries come together. Like us and Jester King. We both share a deep affinity for sour and wild beers. But rather than rest on our laurels, we challenged ourselves to brew a beer reminiscent of a nearly forgotten, early 20th century cocktail, the Ramos gin fizz, employing our wildly traditional methods to do so. We began with some of the cocktail's signature ingredients - lemon, lime and orange citrus fruits, botanicals and sweeteners (sorry, no egg whites) - and then let our collaborative brewing process run wild. The result is laden with herbal and floral notes, bright lemon and lime zest, orange blossom honey, vanilla, warm oak and comforting spices. The Ramos gin fizz is a hard cocktail to find, and when you do, it takes 10 minutes to make. Our collaboration with Jester King will be similarly elusive; however, it took nearly a year in the making.

​

Mélange #3TM
17.3% ABV
$29.99 $23.99
Purchase limit: 6
Limited Release

Mélange #3 is a blend of three bourbon barrel aged strong ales. White Oak Sap, a wheat wine, our Anniversary Series old ale and our imperial Stout, Black Tuesday, join forces in this luxurious strong ale that links some of the best characteristics of each of the contributing beers. Chocolate, dark fruits, oaky vanilla and rich toffee-like character reach through the bourbon veneer for an intensely satisfying quaff.

​

UkuleleTM
13.5% ABV
$22.99 $18.39
Purchase limit: 6
Reserve Society Exclusive

Here's a beer that will pluck on your heartstrings. Just close your eyes and say aloha to Kauai, where the idea for Ukulele began in the form of a Passion Chili Whiskey Fizz, made with bourbon, passion fruit, Thai chili and ginger ale. Ukulele's tone and volume intensifies with each sip, dancing on the tongue with massive, tart tropical fruit flavors and ginger spice, crescendoing with the slow-timed release of heat from ghost chili peppers and warmth from bourbon barrel-aging. Ukulele is truly a gift or reward to share with friends.

​

8 Maids-a-MilkingTM
11.3% ABV
$11.99 $9.59
Purchase limit: 6
Seasonal Release

8 Maids-a-Milking is the 8th beer in our "12 Days of Christmas" series, and we'd be udderly crazy to release anything but a milk stout. So we made an imperial milk stout to stand up to whatever Old Man Winter throws our way from now through 2019 with the final release of our series. 8 Maids-a-Milking is brewed with lactose, which is commonly referred to as milk sugar. It's the only type of sugar that is unfermentable by yeast, which adds more perceptible creaminess and sweetness to the finished beer. This mouthfeel and sweetness is complemented by robust layers of milk chocolate, subtle spice accents from our house Belgian yeast and roasty, cafe elements indicative of our take on the style. Celebrate the seasons with the best of both worlds: enjoy some now, and lay a few down for up to 4 years to be enjoyed upon the release of 12 Drummers DrummingTM.

​

Humulus TerreuxTM
6.3% ABV
$11.99 $9.59
Purchase limit: 6
First Release

Humulus Terreux is the type of beer that gets our stomachs tied up in knots of excitement. It's a chance for us to experiment with both hops and yeast, creating unique, juicy and funky flavors with just these seemingly simple, earthen ingredients. Each batch of Humulus Terreux will use a different hop varietal and one of the several strains of Brettanomyces yeasts that we have incubating in our laboratory to create a one of a kind, wildly traditional bière™. The flavor possibilities are endless when combining possible hop notes of citrus, pine, flowers or grass with the barnyard funk, earth and tropics that can come from a 100% Brettanomyces fermentation. While each beer will showcase a different, distinct character, the overall result will always be dry, funky and delightfully hoppy.

Six Black Tuesday Reserve. Holy ****.

Six Black Tuesday Reserve. Holy ****.

What is that then? Eight in total?

 

[CommanderofAwesome]

Is that eight total then?

That was my thought.

 

[user 305963]

Yeah, I thought getting 2 BT Reserve in the HS allocation was generous. Getting 6 more is downright painful, for the wallet and the liver. I'm gambling on a Ukulele as well.

Oh, and there's one more that wasn't listed above...

I see that now. Scrolled too quickly. I picked up one of these as well.

 

[Brubaker1]

Did I miss something is the mystery beer still a mystery?

EDIT: I guess there's just one mystery beer. Thought I had seen two listed there before.
