Ambassadors of Sour Online Pre-sale

What | This batch of Home, Sour Home is a blend of 3 different batches of golden sour beers aged in oak barrels. The first portion of this blend was fermented with English Ale yeast, various strains of Brettanomyces, and Pediococcus bacteria. We then blended this batch with barrels of golden sour beer that were only fermented with Brettanomyces yeast and Pediococcus bacteria. The final component to this blend was a golden sour beer that was fermented with English Ale yeast and then racked into unrinsed barrels that previously housed Brettanomyces bruxellensis var. Drei yeast and Lactobacillus delbrueckii bacteria. This base beer blend featured light tones of dried peaches and apricots and displayed a low to medium acidity and a dry finish. We felt these characteristics would support the juicy flavors of peaches added as well as complement subtle notes of cinnamon spice and smooth vanilla bean.

$25 was the same price as batch 2. The "pins" sound fun.

Happy to read Rare Barrel's stance on the Wicked Weed situation.

 

[ewwiccc]

Dark sour with cherries... Hmm

 

[HeadytheElder]

Seditious ways sounds like a cherry version of Ensorcelled and I'm cool with that.

When are they gonna do something with grapes tho!!!??? I keep waiting.

Anyone else having an issue ordering extra bottles of Seditious Ways and it not letting you select to keep the beer there. The website is making me select a shipping option.

Had this happen before, clear your cookies and re-login and it should fix it.

 

[tosh1]

I have zero interest in extra bottles of this one, so nope.

That didn't fix it last time for me, had to clear cookies.

 

[Dogleg1]

Yep, had to clear cookies and it then worked. Thanks chemman14

Two other buddies share the membership with me so I get an extra of each release so we each have a bottle. Haven't bought more than the 1 extra this year so far unfortunately ...

Anyone local that can "trustee" a box for me? My regular trustee is out of town for a while and I've got more than enough accumulated at Rare Barrel to fill a 12-bottle shipper. I can offer a bottle of Map of the Moon as a thank you. Cheers!

If no one local takes you up on this you can have it shipped to me and I'll send it out. No thank you needed just pay the $12 for a shipper.

Thanks for the offer, but it looks like someone locally has me covered!!

Awesome!

Well I'm a bit surprised. So my plan was always to get my beer shipped to my cousin (in SF) who would then turn around and ship it to me. No work for him - try to make it super easy since he's doing me a favor. I email him the labels, he slaps them on the box, I setup a FedEx pickup, and away they go.

I order my first two boxes from them last week. They made it together to SF just fine, and my cousin put the labels on them. Today my first box arrived to me. Its not a bottle shipper and there is no protection for bottles. Nothing. Just a cardboard box with a 12 bottle divider in it.

I'm somewhat astonished. I paid Rare Barrel good money to deliver beer to SF, I would expect it to be shipped in a proper shipper, or at least bubble wrapped. The second box is delayed, and FedEx just had "label illegible" as the reason. I"m guessing its a broken bottle since there was no protection provided at all.

Why would they offer this service if they aren't going to provide proper shipping of their product?

casa Agria ship the same way. I assume TRB also use GCO to ship, and I assume GCO is used to handling boxes like that. Fed Ex for sure are not.

In fact Casa Agria happily ship 3 bottles in a case box with no protection.

For an extra charge they will pack them in shippers but you must indicate that.

 

[Sage1]

Yeah I think it’s pretty standard issue for wineries and breweries on the west coast to use GSO because then they don’t need to use more expensive shippers.

 

[wolfman1201]

Where? I just went back through the allocation and there isn't a spot to ask for shippers, unless you do it in the comments. For $26/case of beer to go approx 20 miles, it should cover the cost of a shipper.
