Pretty sure it did, and bing cherries.

Did Wanderer have blackberries before?

Pretty sure it did, and bing cherries.

I hope they do a CBS release for it again.

CBS has said they will, I think.

Back when beer lines were

 

[realmz]

I am sorely disappointed by the reformulation. Clunky Bruery anni trounces the fruit. I would not be lining up for this beer.

 

[franch]

this is going to be a much needed cheap month in the franch hoarders household

 

[StarRaptor1]

Wanderer (now blended with anny), Poterie, Chocolate BBLs and Chupacabra now up. Think they accidentally put up BBLs instead of Chocolate Rain?

LOL seriously?

Why the hell is Wanderer now blended with anniversary? (Other than the obvious, I mean)

The Wanderer is a special blend of oak aged ales that we made with Craig and Beth from San Francisco's City Beer Store. Blending a mix of sour ales and our anniversary ale the base of this beer has a delightfully sour tinge on top of a hearty malt backbone. To add to the flavor, Craig and Beth selected blackberries and cherries to be added to the ale adding to it's already fruity complexity. This ale went on to win the silver medal for wood & barrel aged sour fruited ales at the 2011 Great American Beer Festival and we are very excited to be bringing it back to our lineup for our 2013 Society members!

Sure sounds like it's always had some anni in it

 

[Usofar]

Maybe the percentage has changed since this is the first year they listed % of it?

Internet sleuthing ftw. I still stand by my original statement. The blended anniversary is more aggressive than memory. I was sorely hoping I'd taste more blackberry. Perhaps it will evolve and taste different out of the bottle, but I would encourage others to at least consider if they'd enjoy a more BBA-forward version of Wanderer.

 

[ABSTRACTlegend]

Damn The bruery terraux really going out of their way for this 1 year anny sale.

As a lowly PS, I could (but didn't) buy Confession. What else is available?

Couple older Sour in the Rye, Roble Blanco, Sourororurobo, Ukelele. Might be forgetting one.

I guess Hoarders got another shot at Room For Me. Balls.

 

[JulianB1]

Roble Blanco lol. Embarrassing they would continue to sell that ****. Only thing I've had that's worse than Bully Guppy.

 

[blackgnome1]

I'm regretting not splitting this membership, haven't maxed on many things first year in RS. Mocha Wednesday and Les Ronces have been the only stand outs to me thus far.

Flimishmish tasted acetic too me, whats the taste like vomit, too much time in the barrel kinda description. Hoping for more out of the Terraux, still no word on the tasting room?

 

[daniel1]

Roble Blanco lol. Embarrassing they would continue to sell that ****. Only thing I've had that's worse than Bully Guppy.

You know they even know it sucks when it's 1.5 years old and they haven't increased the price from the first time they sold it.

Hell, they added $2 to the price of Room For Me and it's only a couple months old.

The last time this was released, drinking it physically hurt me for 2-3 days after the fact. I thought the bottle was contaminated with battery acid. My throat felt raped/black and blue when I woke up the next day.

The only other experience I can compare this to is having a gastroenterologist do an exploratoty stomach scoping with a sidecar of fixing an esophageal stricture.

really? I'm surprised, that one was pretty mild on the sour to me and nowhere near mother funker/upland levels.

Allocations up. Where the **** is Chocolate Rain?

Exactly my thought.

Exactly my thought.

I did see it in the coming soon section of the email. I guess that and Grey Monday are both late.

as it was in march, but not april.

don't worry though, I'm sure it's not a QC issue.

 

[stakem1]

Saixon sounds pretty good.

"Saixon is a saison - not a typo. But it’s different. The saison style traces its origin back to Wallonia, the predominantly French-speaking (and bordering) region of Belgium. We asked ourselves what the style would be like if the pendulum swung East and took root closer to the German border of Belgium. And then we brewed it.

Presupposition meets new inspiration in this Belgo-German hybrid. In addition to the dry, crisp and funky notes you’d associate with the classic saison style - and the wildly traditional use of Brettanomyces, Saixon also features three generations of German hops: old school (Hallertau Mittlefruh), second wave (Opal), and new school (Mandarina Bavaria and Hallertau Blanc). Santé? Prost? Cheers!"
