Digging into last year... looks like they never released Shades of Cool. Golden sours w/ black currants

Maybe it wasn't that good so they blended it to make supermassive?

"We just made a beer that is a brett saison and it's got a bunch of different fruit in it. Some of those fruit had earlier contact with sour beer." - Jay on The Sour Hour - Episode 33.

Interesting.

This growler fill for current ambassadors only?

This growler fill for current ambassadors only?

Anyone with a rare barrel growler (black ceramic, white ceramic, or the newest kleen kantee) can fill it. Current ambassadors (2016) will get the 10% discount. No other growlers other than their own (which have only been given out with membership) can be filled.

Hope that answers your question

I think growler fills are for anyone with a growler?
Edit: yep

I am definitely starting to re-think my 6 membership strategy. Too much beer, too little time.

Why would you ever think this was a good idea for any brewery.

 

[tosh1]

Why would you ever think this was a good idea? For any brewery.

I was assuming (hoping?) he meant 6 memberships of 6 different breweries?

This haha, seeing as its against the rules to have multiple TRB memberships. I guess you could sign up family members, but why?

Maybe so you'd feel entitled to give them constructive criticism x6

Yay 1 extra map of the moon bottle can be purchased. Better than 0!

I guess I am going to have to split that one extra with my buddy I split the membership with.

So is this a different batch from untappd check-in for this beer that dates back to October of last year?

I believe so

 

[ABSTRACTlegend]

WTF, only 1 bottle extra for purchase of Map of the Moon?!?!?!

Come on Rare Barrel

 

[sdreaper]

Sure it is only 1 bottle, but how many of the 5 releases last year were we able to purchase extra?

 

[johnnyramirez]

Impossible Soul, Feed the Monster and I believe Becoming were definitely large releases. Supermassive was available for 1 extra but not guaranteed for all members. I dont recall extras of Soliloquy

So of the 3 ambassador releases, 2 were large and this one is like Supermassive, 1 additional but not guaranteed. Seems to follow the same model as last year.

quite something was 1 bottle extra as well

 

[sdreaper]

Well ****, I don't have the email for Soliloquy so I can't see if there were extras allowed for that one and I mistook one of the public releases as being ambassador...so

3/17 Quite Something - 1 bottle like Supermassive
4/20 Afterlight - large batch
6/15 Map of the Moon - 1 bottle like Supermassive (maybe Soliloquy)

Which would still follow the same model as last year.

Inb4 next 2 ambassador releases have no additional bottles for purchase. =(

I'll be doing my first member pick up this weekend, I went through the steps on their site to give them a heads up, think I did it right. Do they usually email some sort of confirmation that you're good to go on the pickup?
