Bruery’s White Chocolate: Wheatwine, Bourbon, Vanilla Beans, Chocolate

The Bruery has announced another mystery beer in the Reserve Society –White Chocolate. Those who are a part of the society have a chance at 6 bottles of this new release, along side 10 bottles of Oude Tart.

So what is it? The base of White Chocolate is a 100% barrel aged wheat wine dubbed White Oak Sap. …a “summer” barley-wine style ale, but made with a wheat heavy grain base, White Oak Sap is aged in used bourbon barrels for nearly a year and comes out rich in flavors of coconut, honey, caramel and vanilla. In addition to this, The Bruery added cacao nibs (chocolate) and vanilla beans. Thus creating White Chocolate

Bruery Reserve Society ’12 Deets, Memberships On Sale 9/26

A letter from The Bruery about the 2012 Reserve Society…

Dear Reserve Society,

A few months back we announced that there would be a change in the way that the Reserve Society would work in the future. We received a lot of feedback from our current members on what they thought of this new concept and after taking a step back and reevaluating our plan, we realized that the majority of the feedback made sense – the Reserve Society shall remain completely intact as it has for the past two years.

The price will be rising, but this rise will go towards a larger supply of included beers (like TWO bottles of Black Tuesday) and we’re working on getting a couple of very cool pieces of quality Reserve Society only merchandise made for you. Also, please note that the tickets for the Initiation Celebration will be sold separately since we realize that not everyone will be able to make it.

As always, the current Reserve Society members have the first right of refusal for the next year’s membership. We will be putting the new memberships on sale on September 26th and you will have until November 11th to guarantee your membership. After November 11th, we will be opening the remaining spots up to new members.

**Please note that some of these beers will also be available to the general public, but as a member of the Reserve Society you are guaranteed the opportunity to purchase these beers without fear of them selling out and for a discounted price**

We are still unable to offer shipping for the 2012 Reserve Society membership. FedEx, UPS, and USPS rules do not currently allow the shipping of beer from a brewery to a consumer (just from a licensee to a licensee, or for the case of wine, from winery to consumer). There is a fairly high risk that if we do ship to you, we will have issues with the packages being confiscated or destroyed once the contents of the packages are known to the shipper. We apologize for the inconvenience, and we will work with our fellow craft breweries to have this policy changed. We will, however, provide storage for all Reserve Society allocations until March 1st 2013. It is the responsibility of the member to arrange for pick up. A trustee can be designated at the time of purchase if the member is not local to The Bruery by having that person’s name as the “Ship To” name. Any changes in trustees must be made by emailing [email protected] [Any beer not picked up my March 1st, 2013 will be considered forfeited and will be sold at auction to benefit a charity of our choosing.]

We hope to see you in February for the initiation celebration!

Cheers,
The folks at The Bruery

COMING SOON: The Bruery/Cigar City ISO:FT

There will be 2 releases in the Cigar City Brewing/ The Bruery collaboration.  In addition to Marrón Acidifié, a beer dubbed ISO:FT will be released.  For those of you that don’t trade beer, ISO:FT is code for “In Search Of: For Trade”. I hope you can figure that out.   This second edition will be harder to get than Marrón Acidifié.  While Marrón will be in limited supply to Cigar City/ The Bruery’s distribution markets, apparently (still confirming) this beer will be offered only to Bruery Reserve Society Members.

ISO:FT is already up on BeerAdvocate.com and classified as an American Wild Ale.  The proclaimed “CalifFlorida” beer features guavas grown in Florida, and dates grown in California.  The beer is oak aged.   Those are all the details confirmed thus far.  Both Marrón Acidifié & ISO:FT are up for sale for Reserve members at the link below.

9% ABV

Cuádruple – If the monks of Belgium had access to the agave plants of Central America, this is the beer they would have brewed.  We used heaping amounts of dark agave nectar in place of the typical sugars in our version of the classic Belgian Quadruple.
