(Placentia, CA) – An update on new beers coming from The Bruery…
Reserve Society members were sent the following early this week (courtesy of stoad):
—————————————–
We’ve got 4 more for you right around the corner. The following beers will be available for order between tomorrow, March 16th through March 30th at society.thebruery.com.
Provisions Series: Salt of the Earth, 3 bottle limit, $10 per bottle [release date: 4/1]
Salt of the Earth is our play on a gose. Not to be confused with a gueze, the gose style originated in Leipzig, Germany. It is a wheat beer traditionally brewed with salt and coriander as well as lactic bacteria. Clearly not following the Reinheitsgebot, we figured we’d knock it up a level by using an addition of truffle salt in our gose, adding an earthy and funky element to the aroma and flavor certain to tantalize all of the foodies out there.
Mischief Gone Wild, 4 bottle limit, $12 per bottle [release date: 4/1]
Most of you have already had our hoppy Belgian-style golden ale, Mischief, and are already familiar with it’s unique character. Well, as you know, we at The Bruery get a bit bored of doing the same beers day in and day out, so we decided to introduce brettanomyces to the already mischievious equation and now, as they say, the beer has gone wild. Dryer, differently complex and really quite delicious, Mischief Gone Wild is unrestrained in just the right way.
Cuir, 3 bottle limit, $20 per bottle [May]
Cuir is our third anniversary ale. It is the same recipe as Papier and Coton, created using the Solera method. Layered with complex flavors of dark fruit, vanilla, oak, and burnt sugar, we blended a portion of both Papier and Coton that had been aging in oak barrels with this new batch of the same beer, adding an additional layer of complexity that will grow over time as we continue to age and blend with each anniversary, creating an older average age to the ale.
100% Barrel Aged Cuir, 4 bottle limit, $30 per bottle [May]
This is our special version of Cuir, just for the Reserve Society. While the general release is 25% barrel aged and 75% fermented with oak, this beer is 100% out of the oak barrel leaving it stronger in flavor, alcohol and complexity.

Patrick Rue said in the above thread, “I apologize, this will be yet another year of no brandy / rye anniversary. We do have 4 barrels of brandy, but after hearing about how no one really wants a one bottle allocation, I’ve decided we’ll save those barrels for next year and produce more brandy barrel aged anniversary in the meantime.”
The Bruery’s 2nd anniversary party was held in late May of last year so expect this year’s party to be held (and Cuir to be released) around that time. There was limited distribution of last year’s anniversary ale so there’s hope for those outside of Southern California.
