And I may be moving back in late December as well. And bringing with me lots of SARA, TRB, and etc goodness.

Plum CFP is delicious. Hop mess is glorious.

Plum CFP is delicious. Hop mess is glorious.

Plum CFP was my favorite of the day. Sweet candied plums in the front. Perfect carbonation and acidity. And as it warmed, the flavor got less sweet and it got SUPER funky. Leather and musty funky.

Peach CFP was slightly underwhelming, although we'll see what a little time does. It doesn't have anything to do with the beer being bad, and it might just be my own expectations being off. I was surprised the peach flavor wasn't stronger given it was double the fruit. If you handed it to me blind, I'd have said it was a FS beer. Still very good though, and excellent peach aroma and flavor.

Peach FS was great. Perfect balance and always a favorite FS of mine.

Hop Mess was interesting. Very hoppy, very tropical fruity, and some good Brett character. Only a little tart. In a similar realm of Brett Loves Citra, but I like BLC more than Hop Mess at this point. Very unique and enjoyable beer though.

Both of the Sleeper Cuts (Bing and Balaton) were awesome. Huge fruit, super sour, and brilliant color. Balaton had a little carbonation, and Bing had little to none. The acidity sort of tricks your tongue and it almost feels carbonated. It didn't detract from the experience all that much. It was a great beer for a $6 (half price) pour.

I got butter. Didn't buy.

Troy said give it a couple weeks.

Interesting. I got a pour and didn't taste that at all. Then again, I'm pretty insensitive to diacetyl.

Oh man. How amazing is that family preserves Laredo plum? That has to be one of my top faves.

Was just headed here to ask the same thing. None of the people I know who entered have heard back yet. I hope we get some news in the next few days!

I heard Troy received way more emails than he expected (no surprise) and that he's thinking it'll take him extra time to get through all of them.

Andy,

Thank you so much for your application. I grew up in Michigan, great place.



Unfortunately, we are not able to offer you a membership into our Extended Family at this time. There’s really no good reason for this. We had over 400 applications and it was incredibly hard to narrow down whom to invite. In the end, we just weren’t able to invite many great candidates such as you.



We truly appreciate your passion for our brand. We know this process took time out of your day to apply and we are grateful for your support. We hope to see you at a release soon.



Respectively,



Troy and Emily


Awesome that he is responding to each letter personally. Sad I didn't get in.

Anyone have details on the small batch collab? Looks like BdG+cherries??

No rejection letter myself. He probably just deleted my original email.

 

[Iliketurtles]

Has anyone heard affirmatively that they've gotten in (that wasn't already in the club)? I'm not counting on it, but it would be awesome.

 

[RyanG1]

Hi Casey!

SRS, very nice of them to personally respond. Did not expect that at all.

 

[SecretSquirrel]

No go here, bummed but I guess more money for lambic....

I can get you reserve bottles for lambic. Just shoot me a PM.

 

[agrippin]

No go here. Oh well, at least I don't have to camp out for his beer.

 

[abawol01]

No one got in. An epic troll executed by Troy.

 

[SasquatchMooseKnuckl]

Another rejection here. Bummer. Probably my favorite brewery out there right now so I was hoping for the best. I really appreciate that Troy took the time to respond though. Class act. Looking forward to continuing my support for him and his family

I got the same email minus the "I grew up in Michigan, great place." part. So it's only sorta personalized as he has a template email.

Still nicer than, "Hahahahaha. **** you, you didn't get it. Maybe next year! Love, Troy."

Still feels like that though.

 

[SecretSquirrel]

Saw someone post a "I got in" message
