Rare Barrel Founder's Society

[bdogg1]

Had some Pupil on Friday too. Great beer.

Every beer I have tried from societe has been damn good.

 

[Hookemhops13]

Definitely gonna try to make it there but tentative plan is Napa Sat-Tues, SF Tues-Thur, Sonoma Thur-Sun so we will just have to see. Definitely gonna try to hit RRBC, Toronado, and City Beer Store though.

Well the drive from Sonoma to there or napa to there isn't to bad. Def easier if you were in the city but not always shorter hahaha.

Also, when are you heading to RR? I live in Petaluma which is the town right next to Sonoma.

Not sure on exact day yet. Most likely not Sunday since we are pretty busy then. Possibly the second weekend when we are in Sonoma since that is closer. I'm really hoping to find some good bottles while I'm out there so as it gets closer if yall have any tips let me know! (Come on Toronado bottle sale!!)

Beercraft in Rohnert park has a nice selection.. You go through there on your way to RR.

Thanks guys. Added these to the list!

Are they still the most expensive beer in the city? I'd personally just go to a Whole Foods. At least City Beer has taps.

They were fairly expensive when I went in July. The selection was okay, but not earth shattering. I found enough to keep my thirst quenched when in town.

Better than Ales Unlimited for certain bottles. I just go to [insert secret spot] that charges at least $4 less than AU on certain bottles.

AU is pretty pricey for sure. But they do have some nice bottles from time to time I haven't found elsewhere.

 

[evilhead]

They supposedly got Peche 'n Brett last time, but it was gone so damn fast I missed out.

Yeah but whole foods doesn't have the pickled jalapeno cheese spread they make at Healthy Spirits. Worth the extra $1 or 2 on a bottle for that ****. mmmmmmm

I think I broke the Rare Barrel society thread....

It'll repair itself once announcements are made.

Likely I am in.

6 extra bottles ( a day) at $30 a go....thats seemingly like a big increase in production for a Founders Only Release.

 

[DanzBorin]

Am I supposed to be getting emails about releases? I ask because I haven't seen anything.

If you have a mule or friend who used your account to buy bottles, they may be forwarded to his email. Happened to me a few times.

The email was sent like within the last hour.

For Ambassadors, you should be getting your release emails next year, if I am not mistaken.

For Founders (2014) we just got an email about this current year's #4 Founder's release. Glad we can buy lots of bottles of Cosmic Dust, that has been my favorite so far.

edit: jeesus that is expensive, maybe no extras for me!

These are gonna sell out slowly, that's a large ass allotment, and I don't see everybody buying too much at $30 each. My homies are gonna get a hookup for this release.

Not sure how Cask Strawberry sells for $17 and Cosmic Dust sells for nearly twice that much.

GABF medal, bro.

SARA just doesn't cut it

I don't know, but I wish I could just actually buy more SARA bottles. They just are too hard to get regardless of price, but I'll settle for the Rare Barrels I can.

SARA>Rare Barrel though, and I don't think much will disagree. But availability is next to non existent unless you are in the right place, right time at SARA. Only scored a couple bottle releases.

These founders nights are a great deal to try the expensive bottles at a good price on tap though.

I always chalked up $20-$30 prices for Bruery, Cascade, and Rarrel to what has to be a costly barrel aging process. Then SARA and De Garde start selling great barrel aged stuff for under $20.

I liked that they asked in that survey a few weeks ago about whether the Gold medals made any difference, at least it gave me a chance to express my complete ambivalence to that kind of guff.

Not sure, but I much prefer the beers coming out of De Garde and SARA.

degardebrewing is usually $9-$15, let's see SARA do that! Thankfully, SARA's been pumping out way more sours lately, both in bottles and on draft, so I'm happy.
