Nevermind

Why isn't The Bruery doing an archive sale of the 1 beer that was literally inspired by a pie?

Wasn't windowsill infected?

 

[DougOLis]

Wasn't windowsill infected?

Yes. Intentionally.

 

[FBIinformant]

They claim they didn't have any.. or much of anything archived on that one. As much of a fan as I am of KCRW in general, I never bothered buying it because it was $20. Kind of wished I ticked it at least once.

 

[Rau711]

Got my first sealed bottle in M10, pretty slick looking.

 

[franch]

The Bruery Melange 10. A true out-of-the-park homerun. Tastes like Melange 3 mixed with cinnamon, spice, and just the faintest hint of chile on the finish, but nothing's overdone. Incredibly drinkable. Minimal alcohol burn. Just a fantastic night-time sipper.

imperialking this is exactly the review we were looking to see.

 

[drgarage1]

Not waxed. Must be terrible.

 

[boogercrack]

anyone got a feel for when we'll start seeing terreux bottles?

 

[3rdto1st1]

After it opens in April?

i guess i missed that announcement. thanks buddy.

 

[matedog]

Any rumors, confirmed or otherwise, about a separate Terreux society?

 

[realmz]

Any rumors, confirmed or otherwise, about a separate Terreux society?

Seems initially unlikely.

Nick: How available will these beers be? Are we looking at a Terreux Society?

Jeremy: It will be the same quantity that we’ve had in the past, and we have the ability to do more beer here than we’ve ever done previously. When that quantity grows I have no idea. But I can say that we plan on being aggressive, and by aggressive I mean we plan on making some beer, and getting it out.

As for a Terreux Society, not that I’ve heard. Most of the Terreux beers will be allocated in the same way that they are now, a lot of these beers will go into Hoarders and Preservation Societies, and we’ll be doing some special beers for the Societies as well. As far as I know, there are no plans for a separate club.

Wow. Welp, their loss. I know many people who will drop next year and many potential customers (like myself) who won’t sign up if they do that.

Doubt they lose anything. Anyone who doesn't renew will just have their membership bought up by someone else. And then it it does finally come about (if ever) those people will probably have first crack at any new society. If you're enjoying things already, stay the course.

 

[evilc]

I'm staying on. Love the sours, love the Midwest stouts I get trading the Bruery stouts

 

[buzzword]

lol wut

Usually one of the beers per quarter would fall under that brand. I think next quarter gets a Sans Pagaie for example.

well yeah - I guess the obtuse point I was making was that RS didn't even get an honorable mention.

one of the only reasons I renewed this year was sitr peaches

All good points.

RS memberships were taken in manner of a few hours, and that's after all the infection BS. They're not losing any sleep over you not renewing.

I don't think it's true that they don't care, or as you put it not losing sleep. Right now it's not hurting their bottom line. In fact the turn over may increase sales as new members probably max out more often. That said with all the surveys they do, they are trying to keep a pulse on the big picture and not just the 5% active on the beer boards.

If they didn't care I doubt they'd send out multiple surveys geared towards improvement

Do you mean the same survey over and over, but perhaps expecting different responses? hmm.

 

[stakem1]

Tomorrow is the beginning of the 2nd quarter and I feel strangely good about only buying 1 case of beer so far this year.

Just got the Terreux announcement email. Is it me or does Beret sound exactly like Bottleworks XII?

Imperial sour wit with raspberries?

Cuivre™

​

17% abv
$29.99 - $23.99
Purchase Limit: 6 BottlesThis beer will see general distribution


The traditional seventh anniversary gift is copper, so we've named our 7th anniversary ale "Cuivre" which is "copper" in French.

Cuivre is our seventh anniversary ale, loosely brewed in the English-style Old Ale tradition using our house Belgian yeast strain and then blended using the solera method. A portion of each of our anniversary ales is saved in our barrels and blended in with the next year's production, providing more complexity and depth of character that comes with age. Layered with complex flavors of dark fruit,vanilla, oak, and burnt sugar, Cuivre is a robust ale, surely the perfect beer to mark this major milestone.

​

Imperial Or Xata™

11.2% abv
$14.99 - $11.99
Purchase Limit: 4 bottles
Reserve Society Exclusive

Horchata is a traditional, sweet, milky drink originating in Spain and Latin America that has become quite popular in Southern California, particularly with Mexican cuisine. Our take on the traditionally non-alcoholic drink is a blonde ale brewed with a heavy dosing of rice, cinnamon and fresh vanilla beans along with lactose for a little extra creamy character. If you didn't know better, you'd think it was carbonated horchata. The flavor is hard to describe, but for those who know it, you know you love it. This limited edition variation on our seasonal release is spruced up with a bit more malt and more spice for an extra kick.

Yep, another month where I purchase absolutely nothing
