Rare Barrel Founder's Society

[bdogg1]

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

I am gonna agree. I do like the RB stuff but it seems their price point is going up and up.

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!

That makes sense. I was thinking this enrollment started right away like El Catador. Live and learn.

Have the Founders releases generally been that pricey?

All of them are a "$30 value". I don't think I have ever maxed on them. Usually get my included with membership and a bottle or two more if it's really good. Most other releases are $20-$24 before discount.

I find the best value out of the growlers ranging from $20-$23 before discount.

Of the first 3 Founders releases there was only an option to purchase an additional 1 or 2, this is the first allocation with an option to buy that many additional bottles? Or did I simply not max out due the cost (I guess I could have lost track at this point)?

I don't understand why this one is on the high end of the price spectrum...hibiscus is cheap.

 

[grrrah]

It's because they have to justify the $300/10 bottle membership price.

But I totally agree with you. They should have but the bullet and given 3 of these and sell them at $20 each. Sourtooth had to be comparable I'd imagine.

 

[wuntrikpony]

Sourtooth had to be more costly I'd imagine.

Ginger is pretty cheap too...

 

[grrrah]

Damn you beat my edit

 

[bdogg1]

Is it the amount of time they are in the barrel?

 

[bdogg1]

I will be stopping by for sure on Saturday. It's just a matter of when I am coming through the city....

 

[loeyjarko]

LOL why you guys are paying $30 for this is so far beyond me... U can buy 3f for way less and it's actually good.

[rmaste6282]

It could be the Pedio they are pitching, instead of Lacto and Brett like their other beers.

 

[jtmartino1]

No, it's because they can.

AMBASSEDORS OF SRS ASSEMBLE!?!?

FORM OF.....LACOBACILLUS

 

[tosh1]

Map of the Sun is the Growler fill and they have a new Boysenberry beer on tap. Guess I will have to stop in tomorrow afternoon.

 

[matedog]

I hope this is on tap at the event on Thursday: Tangerang – a golden sour aged in oak barrels dry-hopped with Motueka, Citra, and Columbus and a collaboration with Cellarmaker Brewing Company. The bright acidity of the golden sour complements the juicy tropical fruitiness from the blend of hops. This release is draft only.

And growler fills if you have a 1L Cellarmaker one

I emailed them asking if they would allow fills on Thursday for this, but they said they can't because they want to save it for their Collab Party on Friday, which is understandable. Said it may end up on tap tomorrow night, but they aren't sure yet. So, I'd say 50-50.

How about my 750mL growler???

 

[rrryanc]

How about my 750mL growler???

From the email:

Extra Growler Fill - Have a 1L Cellarmaker growler? We're happy to fill it with Tangerang on Friday from 6-10PM. Limit (2) per person and open to Founders and the public. For this event, we'll only be filling Cellarmaker 1L growlers.

 

[matedog]

From the email:

It was a poor attempt at a joke referencing Cellarmaker's inability to fill a 750mL growler which wasn't even right since they don't fill 32oz, not 750s. Ugh.

 

[cardinalbruintriton]

Damn $24.50 per fill.

 

[drgarage1]

Damn $24.50 per fill.

A lot cheaper than most of their bottles...

 

[loeyjarko]

[tosh1]

Im out for tommorow...grrrr

But confirmed I will fill Growler with Becoming at 4 on Friday and with the Cellarmaker one on sunday. I can deal with that.
