Crushable. Creamy, fruity, and hoppy.

2024 The Bruery No Oven Required

 Orange County Malt, Grain more

5/3/2024 - dczapka Likes this wine: NR

It's been quite some time since I've been so excited about a Bruery beer based on prior history, but given the pedigree of American Anthem, how could I help myself? I was pleased to find that the peach character plays a huge role in this beer, coming out on the initial sip and lingering long through the finish. The cinnamon and vanilla are both present but satisfactorily restrained, which is a plus, but the stout character doesn't quite pop. It's no American Anthem, but it is awfully delightful!

Tropical yellow fruit, juicy, and weighty on the palate. Definitively Monkish.

2024 The Bruery Mistah Nice Pie

Anyone who knows me knows that I have VERY strong feelings about the Red Sox, Fenway Park, and the city of Boston in general. Despite all that, I had some solid expectations for this brew—but it didn't quite hit those notes. The nose provided all the flavors of a Boston creme donut, but the sip immediately hit with notes of cinnamon, which doesn't quite match up. Nice cacao and vanilla, sure, but the overall effect was a mild wheatwine that just didn't have enough oomph. Good, but I wanted more.

2024 The Bruery Party On, Grove!

 Orange County Malt, Grain more
Options

4/14/2024 - dczapka Likes this wine: NR

Joined some friends to watch the end of the Masters, and decided it was a good time to share this brew. The nose certainly lets you know that there's a solid amount of rye in the malt, but don't get it twisted: this is a juicy, POG-forward beer from top to bottom. I got a huge amount of orange, with a touch more pineapple present when it's a bit cooler. And the lingering vanilla on the finish helps smooth out the whole thing. One of the better Terreux offerings in quite some time!

2024 The Bruery Blossom's Creek

 Orange County Malt, Grain more

I was rather looking forward to trying this once I heard about the combination of hibiscus and cherry, and I can't say that it didn't deliver to my expectations. The first sip is, unsurprisingly, very tart, with a nice floral note to follow. The cherry gets a little bit buried in the mix, and the salt also has a pretty surprisingly strong presence, but I would imagine that, with a little time for some of the acidity to mellow out, this will round out pretty nicely.

Fresh crack, may need some O2 to really open up

Nose/Floral - bright fruit and oak, golden delicious apple
Sweet - maple, cocoa, honey, butterscotch, caramel
Nutty - almond
Spicy - some cinnamon
Earthy - tobacco, herbal and anise. Fairly savory
Smoky - no
Woody - bright astringent oak
Fruit - more on the nose. But bright apple
Color - dark copper
Palate - astringency up front, big presence, lot of heat
Finish - lingers without being overbearing
Value - solid QPR, priced appropriately
Overall - who doesn’t love cask strength BT. After opening up it becomes less overtly tannic and more of a caramel sweet bomb

2024 The Bruery Dreamception

 Orange County Malt, Grain more
Options

1/21/2024 - dczapka Likes this wine: NR

I had only drank Dream Bar once, as a taster at The Bruery around its release, but even without a great memory of its forebear, I knew instantly that Dreamception was a wildly different beast. About the sweetest Bruery beer I've had in a very long time, this thing is thick and rich, a complete coconut bomb that is in no way ashamed of what it is. The finish is smooth with vanilla and marshmallow, and there's even a dash of macadamia detectable after the swallow, but this is straight-up dessert in a bottle.
