i tried this, when i get to the next page it asks me to fill out my shipping information. once i add CA it immediately adds $17 to the total price. I have been going at this for 30 mins now, super frustrating.

This is for "There Are RUles" right?

If this is for the Ambassador bottle shop (https://www.therarebarrel.com/Shop/Ambassadors) then those have to be shipped.

"I'd be happy to place the order for you. Is it ok to charge your card on file? Your the second person to email me today about this issue so I have let our web person know so he can look into the issue. Let me know if it happens on a future purchase and if you do ever have any glitches, logging out and back into your account will often fix most of them so that is always something to try as well."

This was 3 mins after i sent the email. These guys are quick and professional.

So quick, I actually accidentally paid for shipping because of the same "bug" and they were quick to refund and re-do the order sans shipping.

SO stoked they released this again! They teased us at the beginning of the year with growler fills.

 

[matedog]

I wonder if they are doing Home Sour Home this year. I'll be bummed if they don't. There is maybe one release left this year?

 

[tosh1]

Hoping Sourtooth actually tastes of ginger this time around.

I got tons of it with B1. I may have missed B2.

I believe someone asked Jay during one of the tours and he said no 2016 HSH.

y no Home Sour Home?

y no Home Sour Home?

I dont know, I'm not completely devastated by this news. I enjoyed the Tiger last time I had it, will be ordering one or two of them.

no i liked the tiger as well, just thought this was the last release of the year and meant no to home sour home. but looks like @ewwicc confirmed it for me

 

[Dogleg1]

Anyone else having problems accessing their Ambassador account?

 

[coldstorage]

Yeah somethings wonky since yesterday. Password won't work. Password reset won't work.

 

[ewwiccc]

mine works fine.

Can someone tell me if the Shadows of Their Eyes indicated as Batch 4 on untappd is actually Batch 3 from this year? Or did I miss a batch?

Can someone tell me if the Shadows of Their Eyes indicated as Batch 4 on untappd is actually Batch 3 from this year? Or did I miss a batch?

I'd think B3 and B4 should be combined. There's only been 3 bottling dates according to the label page:
https://www.therarebarrel.com/product/Shadows-of-Their-Eyes/ and the two untappd add dates are pretty close together (within a 5 weeks).

I dont think you missed a batch

2017 AoS growler is white now

2017 AoS growler is white now

White is the new black! Casa Agria also did a white growler for the founding members that renewed.

New glassware looks sharp:

New glassware looks sharp:

Another set of glasses I will never use haha. I don't think I even took mine out of the paper bag they gave them to me in last year.

 

[coldstorage]

These look nice. I think all the glassware going forward has been pretty bad actually. Year two was the worst. That bulletproof thick glass they use for box wine at the local pizza chain or something. Gross.

 

[ABSTRACTlegend]

New glassware looks sharp:

part of me wishes they would put the Rare barrel logo on it instead of ambassadors

 

[Gambit1]

part of me wishes they would put the Rare barrel logo on it instead of ambassadors

Completely agree - overall they have very nice branding, but the "Ambassadors of Sour" in both name and logo just isn't working for me.

SFBW events look pretty cool this year. JK, Trillium tap takeover, and WW collaboration all sound interesting. Would love to try Trill fresh out of the keg.
