Agreed, so far the Flanders Red is the only one I'd go back for more of, though at least for me they've all been fun to try. Particularly given how well-executed the Trip In The Woods series has been so far, I was hoping for a more... restrained approach. But if they make an ice-jacked Bigfoot matured in Tokaji Eszencia barrels for the fall release, all will be forgiven.

Most of them seem to be:

1. We took a fairly standard beer style (Sure, fine)
2. Then we put it in a bourbon barrel (Usually OK)
3. Then we aged it on a suspicious ingredient (Huh?)
4. Then we blended it with a poorly matched other beer (What?)
5. Then we dry-hopped it with a fruit puree that clashes with all of the above.

I really liked the farmhouse whiskey barrel beer.

With that said, I had plans to pick up my Q3 beers on Day 1, modeled the end of a week long vacation around that pickup date. Then they changed the pickup window just a few days before.

Guess I'll pick it up when I pick it up at this point.

I belong to 3 beer groups (Bruery, FiftyFifty, SN). Good chance its only 1 in 2017. **** only makes me hate beer more.

Passed on this one last year, how are you all liking it so far? Seems like the Bruery Preservation society, do they offer any other allocations beyond the ones included in the membership?
