if you are a 2016 member, you can log into your ambassador account and at the top of the ambassador main-page there's a link to renew. You have until 9/30 @ 11:59:59p to renew. If you miss that, then i'm guessing you have to wait until 10/11

If you're not a 2016 AoS, then you wait until 10/11 @ 9am PST to sign up.

Just joined. Using my cousins address in CA to ship to, and then he'll ship the boxes to me. Looking forward to getting to try some more of the RB stuff.

Cheers!

Looks like these are still available. Didn't they sell out instantly last year?

yeah like 5-10 minutes last year (but they had some server downtime).

I suspect that they opened up a lot more spots this year because of their increase in production and having higher bottle limits.

I think there's also plenty of folks not renewing. I didn't and know several friends who passed this year as well. I think it's a well run program but I feel like in the last couple of years their beers have become just a bit too sour for my liking. I still enjoy the beers, but not as much as the first couple of years. Seems like way less fruit and oak flavors and way more mouth-puckering sourness. I will gladly visit and still pick up some public on sale bottles.

I agree with this, they taste like they could clean pennies recently.

Who's making RB's wort?

I think it’s still Hermitage…?

 

[chemman141]

Isn't it Heritic?

they may not be doing it anymore, but I know at one point Sudwerk was as well.

three absolutely stellar breweries there.

 

[rrryanc]

They're also brewing wort. Which you can **** up, but you have to try really hard. And a large part of that is recipe, which I'm assuming Rare Barrel would decide.

This, and IMO heretic is pretty solid. The other two though....

Sudwerk has come a long way and I actually do think they're a stellar brewery.

I agree. They did a 180 about three years ago. Not my favorite by a longshot, but much, much better than Hermitage.

Agree, but still not great IMO. Hermitage is just BAAAAAAAD

 

[DannyFullpint]

Sudwerk did well at GABF, Heretic is awesome.

Hermitage in this case, not Heretic.

 

[tosh1]

I retract my comment about Sudwerk, you are all right, that Funk Hop Farm beer was great.

But what great stuff are Heretic doing that I am missing?

Evil Twin is a fantastic beer.

Since when? I mean it's a solid double (baseball terms here), but I wouldn't call it fantastic.

How the **** do you stop using baseball references in the middle of your sentence?

 

[chemman141]

How to **** do you stop using baseball references in the middle of your sentence?

My thoughts exactly LOL
