    Hope they eventually make it to Michigan. Would love to taste Rev brews other than when I visit Chicago.

    I don't know where they plan to distribute buy assuming all goes well i would think you could find it there no problem soon enough. Be patient though, they aren't even distributed in Chicago for another couple weeks

    Because they're going to can it once the canning line is up and running?

    I will say that bottling Cross of Gold seems odd to me. Some of the talk in one of those Three Floyds threads about Deesko was about the bottling (and cost) of a low ABV beer. I don't much cotton to any of that nonsense, but I will agree that when you see a 22oz. bottle of beer on a shelf, and it's not available otherwise, there can be the expectation that it's "special". I know Cross of Gold is an award-winning beer, but will folks be excited to pay the bomber premium for it?

    But I don't know what the pricing will be (or is, at Kedzie). Give Finch's whatever flack you want (and that they may well deserve) but I do appreciate that their bombers are priced on the lower end of the spectrum (insert comment about where the quality of their beer lies).

    From what I've heard, Cross of Gold should be around $5 retail, pretty reasonable for a bomber. I still think there'd be a market for it in a $10 sixer, especially with Gossamer potentially going seasonal only.

    And yeah, I'm really looking forward to cans of Eugene.

    What else are they planning on distributing? I finally got to visit the brewpub last week and I really liked Red Scare
