only 2TD for RS.

 

[CommanderofAwesome]

Trois is less than 3 French Hens, not sure how that makes sense.

 

[realmz]

Had 2 TD and 3FH recently. Would steer clear. $45 oxidized messes.

For a company that already has QC issues, even after implementing a very expensive QC initiative with mediocre results (new & separate brewing facility + pasteurization) I'm SHOCKED to hear this.

These beers admittedly predate said process...and most of the QC issues. I just think its old beer that's only attractive to #newmoney tickers.

The beers are 6 and 7 years old. Even for breweries without a history of infection, the odds are still high that bottles of that age end up oxidized.

That is the point. Hell even beers after aid process have a lot of issues.

The point of the comment was I'm not surprised that they're awful, given the Bruery Track Record.

@rryanc I'm aware beers get oxidized.

I feel like I'm missing something here. You're attributing the beers being oxidized to the Bruery's track record, when the odds are extremely high beers of that same age would be oxidized for every single brewery.

2009 was when I first got excited about the idea of cellaring, and I've been trying to clear said cellar of many of those beers recently. Stone, Sierra Nevada, Alesmith, Dogfish Head, Deschuttes, and more. At this point, it's far more of a surprise if a 5+ year stout/barleywine/old ale isn't oxidized.

There's plenty of things to criticize The Bruery over, but it's a helluv a stretch to add in 6+ year old bottles being oxidized to that list.

Brother, I've been there.


I'll be more careful with my incredibly humorous sarcastic comments in the future. Thank you.

FTFY

I have (and im willing to again) trade anything in my cellar for more papier, 100% cotton and 100% cuir.
4 years ago I felt 2 turtle doves was tasting older than it should but I like that kinda thing. I would have loved to bought another to drink again but my current financial situation is not condusive to spending $40+ on a beer.

 

[stakem1]

euhhh donno why im teasing myself following along with their 12 days of Christmas sale but i am

seeing a limit of 4 cases per person on derde golf made me lol
but seeing one of my favorite in the christmas series (BA 4 calling birds) is priced $10 more than BT made me scratch my head

 

[boogercrack]

That'll also make the 2016 RS availability of BT a flush 20 bottles.

You laugh, but I proxied 66 bottles of BT for one person last month....

 

[CommanderofAwesome]

Another day, another $$$ saved. Today's sale is pretty terrible IMO. This was like what, the 4th time they reopened allocations on BT?

InB4 rryan corrects me with the actual number of times/weeks BT16 has been available.

I realize this person is likely an ancy, over-eager beaver of a new member and is probably getting bottes to share with his buds.

But deep down, a part of me also wants to believe that somewhere out there is a Bruery loving version of claaark13 that has no qualms about getting Black Tuesday shitpants drunk on any given work night multiple times per week. Envisioning that, warms my heart. Theres just something to be said about a dude who willingly drops 2 grand on multiple bottles of the same beer. And to that person (make believe or not) I ******* salute you.

Haha, he isn't even RS yet! He recruited 20 people to buy 3 each for him, and then the ones he was able to buy. I was blown away. He said he is keeping about 2/3rds of them. He says Black Tuesday is his ultimate favorite beer.

If you're still on BA, read through RDMII's posts in the Bruery thread. Guy either grossly exaggerates or buys and drinks a ludicrous amount of Bruery beers.

If he's the guy I think he is, I'm always just amazed when I read what he drinks. He's claimed to have downed two weekday beers in a day before dinner. Just incredible if true. I'd like to think he has to be the size of Andre the Giant.

Whelp, there be the confirmation on the ancy, over-eager beaver part.

I used to trustee for the guy lol My work got really busy and I could no longer keep up with his pick ups. He would even buy off of my allocations at times. It became taxing to pick up 3-4 cases at a time. He's a good dude. He just really loves his Bruery beers.

Per Xul's post, I looked at the BA thread...

His avatar is that bruery blueberry sour that was so acidic it burned a hole in my tongue. His last comment in that thread is about drinking all the bruery sours once a month. I wonder if he wants to buy all of my bruery sours at cost that ive accumulated over the course of a couple years and never intend to drink.

If you set up that deal with him I'll kick in some of mine that I could stand to sell.

Hello. Nice to meet you.

Not quite to that level yet, but I'm kinda amped I'll have 20 BTs I'll probably have drank by May.

There really are zero shelf BBA stouts here I enjoy though. I just have no qualms opening one into a quart mason jar on the regular. I don't get why people always complain about how big of a chore it is to drink.

I drank a '15 Black Tuesday recently and it tasted more like an anniversary beer than the BT I remember.

Dont get me wrong I enjoy soloing BT, CR, MW, GM, wineification and blue bbls. In fact, I got shitrocked on black friday and chugged an entire chocolate rain because my friends said it couldnt be done that late into a share.

Wait, I think I get it now. This dude has no option to outright buy any of these except BT once a day per year when it goes public. I guess I understand, between all those BT variations at one time i might have spent more.
