Revision California Distro (2018)

It's gonna get harder to find and grab some Rev cans as the word spreads. But that's okay because their regular IPA's are just as delicious if not better than their hazy west coast style.

 

The bomber bottles unfortunately I've seen still have a sep 17 date

 

I've seen more than a few bombers out there that's old. It's getting like Knee Deep. I think the issue is that we here in SoCal has so much to choose from these days that why bother with something that's new and still in bombers. And the $$ ain't cheap. Cans man!!!

 

If you can find some look for Citra Revenge bombers from Rev. Still pretty fresh and my favorite from the Rev.

 

Just picked up Planetary Fog DIPA batch #2, canned 1/18/18.

Pretty solid. Maybe even better than the first batch.

 

LL is Smooth fluffy Pillowy Hazey Juicy Goodness almost on the level as some Monkish cans but not quite there. Tasted a Little bit of soapy water aspect in LL. Still an good beer. Its nice that you dont gotta wait in line for them which is a plus. I will continue to seek out these cans tho. Solid shelfie beer.

 

If they can sustain it, I think Revision's model is going to disrupt the hazy players that charge $20+ for a 4 pack AND require brewery pickup.

The fact that Revision can offer biweekly hazy beers that cost $16 for a 4 pack AND bring them to my neighborhood? Sorry, no more room in the fridge for $20+ 4 packs, especially one's I have to go out of my way to get.

 

This is what I love about revision. I'd rather go to my local liquor store for 4/5 revision can than travel 20-30 miles to fieldwork /asb/ cellarmaker for a 4.5/5 can.

 

While I don't disagree with the convenience factor, I find several of Revision's efforts to be far closer to the East Coast NE-style haze offerings I've tried versus what I've had from the brewers you listed. While there's been a couple of their (Revision) hazy recipes that have been a slight miss for my palate and preferences, several of them I've rated higher than what I've had from FW and ASB. So I'm curious to hear which ones from Revision you've had that have been a 4/5 for your preferences, as I might have some other recommendations for you to try if/when they get brewed again.

 

Planetary Fog and Gimme Da Loot available at El Cerrito Liquor in Corona.

 

Started popping up in OC also..

 

I agree that revision is making better beers than asb and fieldwork most of the time (and way cheaper). I guess what I meant was I'd still prefer to buy them if they were a step below those guys due to convienance and price.

 

I agree to your palate being messed up from sniffing glue!!!

 

5gal kegs of Rev DIPA vs Planetary Fog vs Gimme Da Loot? Haven't had either of PF or Loot yet. Which one should I get if I were to get one of these 5gal kegs? I'm thinking maybe it's too much haze?

 

PFog Batch #2 has been great this week. Hazy DIPA. Loot is just a IPA, but really you can't go wrong either way.

......But at a beer share we had on Sunday afternoon, someone brought a bomber of regular Rev DIPA. The West Coast bite was a nice change.

 

I've had the DIPA out of a bottle before. I like very much. Loot has some really good hops. Only prob with DIPA is 8.0%. I think Loot is 7.

 

Where in OC?

 

Provisions in Orange.

 

Rev's Gimme Da Loot on tap at BT's BBQ in HB.
