Rare Barrel Founder's Society

The yearly survey is out. Some of these are interesting....

• We are currently working on offering 3L bottles. Is this something that would interest you?
• What bottle format would you prefer to purchase our beers in? (750ml / 500ml)

A switch to 500ml would make me sad.

Once again, I am requesting a beer with grapes. I feel like they will use billberries and cloudberries before they use grapes at this point. Also, I am requesting an option to buy the membership without the growler for cheaper.

As an out of towner, I definitely prefer they keep the beers in 750ml as it makes for the most efficient packing and shipping. And I am fairly apathetic to 3L.

That was my reply. But it has also been my reply every year since the start.

****, I should have said that too. I said I would like the option for vintage bottles to be heald instead of making me pay $15 to ship one bottle of beer 10 miles down the road.

Thirded. I even said I'll take a single free pour in the tasting room over another ******* growler.

I was so happy when Dionysus allowed members to renew without buying the $50 growler.

Their fourth or fifth attempt at a cherry sour, it seems. I actually liked this one a bit more when they had it on draft.

yeah, this was decent from what I remember. Reminded me of casey montmorency cherry stuff. Since it's been on draft before, sounds like this should be a public release?

man, that label is horrible. I really hope this one isnt red waxed.

After skipping any pours for probably... 6 months I tried that dry hopped golden that is on tap now and have to agree that they really are dialing back the acidity and getting more complexity in the beer. This, along with the recent-ish blog post about blending both seem like a good sign.

Also heard they tried their hand at a grisette which will see bottles soon which I will probably go hard on.

What | Sloe Daze is a blend of golden sour beer aged in gin barrels with sloe berries! Gin barrels and sloe berries… two new and exciting ingredients for us. The gin barrels used to age this blend showcased strong aromatics of oak, vanilla, juniper, and gin botanicals. To balance these flavors we decided to blend together 2 small batches of golden sour beers that expressed a moderate acidity, with delicate notes of jasmine and pear. The addition of sloe berries enhances the gin botanical aroma and adds a subtle sweetness. Balanced and complex, Sloe Daze showcases layers of aromas and flavors with whispers of spruce, grapefruit peel, and hibiscus, overlaid with soft flavors of tart plum, coriander spice, and juniper berries. Sloe Daze clocks in at a whopping 10% ABV, but you wouldn’t think so by how easy it drinks.

Unfortunately or fortunately the guy who wrote that article doesn't work there anymore.

Not as in
"I dont believe you!"
as in
"did they already sell it and I missed out? or is that some product shot you witchfrafted out of your qwerty piano?"
