Rare Barrel Founder's Society

[matedog]

Their bottled offerings are pretty standard. Worth grabbing some if you haven't had them, but if you only have a limited amount of take home space try a bunch of stuff on tap and skip the bottles.

Yeah, I haven't known the red sours to be particularly better or worse, just the base beers aren't super interesting. They are solid and well made, but not something most sour people would get too excited over.

 

[cardinalbruintriton]

Are their red sours no good? Either way I'll at least try it on draft first (I'm assuming that's going to be a option?).

No adjuncts = it sucks

Any TB'ers here that are local to Rare Barrel available to trustee?

My friend and I split a RB membership and have 12 bottles accumulated from this year. However, our current trustee lives in SoCal and only travels up to the Bay Area sporadically to visit family. Any help would be greatly appreciated, even if short-term.

Cheers!

You can have your box shipped to your So. Cal. trustee as well. That's what my trade partner does, and then I ship to him.

Paying for double or triple shipping is not super fun.

They were pouring it at FWI on Saturday and it was quite tasty.

Message sent. Thanks!!

I'm digging that they are bringing back their more successful brews (Ensorcelled, HSH, and hopefully Map). The first two were Founders releases, but second batch are public.

 

[tosh1]

******* hell - 24 bottle limit for Ambassadors. How much did they make?

Home Sour Home?

If so, last year it was a limit of 2 per founder's membership.

 

[johnnyramirez]

franch, you want any of this release? I dont need 24 bottles.

I like that they're doing it and making an absolute fuckton of bottles. I don't want anywhere near 24 bottles of Home Sour Home, but I'm glad that I know I can get whatever I want (read: what my wife wants).

 

[tosh1]

Home Sour Home?

Yep Home, Sour Home. It was my second favorite release from last year. Not sure I will be getting 24 bottles of it however.

 

[benbikes4beer]

MotS and HSH were easily my favorites. 24 bottles. I don't even know if I can even.

 

[matedog]

Jesus, 24? I guess it'll be around for a long ass time.

 

[RyanG1]

These are perfect for aging

 

[bdogg1]

I was able to try that HSH this past weekend and it was damn tasty. i can see why some say it is their best beer.

 

[benbikes4beer]

In the past if you told me you were going to brew a sour but with a little maltiness to similate a pie/cobler thing going on I would have turned it down. Beers like Windowsill and HSH definitely made me reconsider.

I thought Soliloquy was drinking pretty solidly at Firestone as well.

I like how they aren't charging $30 for this bottle.

There's no wax on it so it saves us $5

[cardinalbruintriton]

Mother of god that's a lot of peach cobbler. But I guess it's cool with the liquor stores that will re-sell them.

 

[abecall98]

I would have bought none at $30, just like I passed on Ensorcelled, but I am buying 4 or 5 of these home sour home now. Funny how just $5 changes my mind.

I'm hope they are moving away from the $30 for previous club releases. I also hope that one day the extras from current releases can be lower than $30.

 

[benbikes4beer]

I think they'd find that they sell more and make more money if they sold bottles at any price with a 2 at the beginning instead of a 3. I would be much more likely to buy one more bottle, or any bottles at all for a 28 dollar beer than a 30 dollar beer. It's stupid I know but I'm just being real with myself. Humans are weird like that.

 

[benbikes4beer]

Although, for this beer in particular, I would probably spend $30 :/ The Bruery make 30 not seem so bad while degarde's got me all like

 

[Rau711]

Anyone not getting 24 bottles of Home Sour Home, I know a guy (hint : Me) who would buy/trade for a couple.

I have a feeling a few of us aren;t getting the entire allotment bud. How many are you looking for?
