    Thanks - just a beer fan and a Rev fan. Gotta say, in 2015 and earlier my BA budget was 80% BCBS. This year it's pretty much 90% Rev and a mish-mash of other stuff in that other 10%, with maybe 2% for BCBS.

    I'm going that way too, Vinny. Especially this year, since I've struck out on both Binny's and Jewel BCBS lotteries, it's just easier to get Rev. Cheers buddy!

    I'll echo the praise for Cherries, it was so excellent me and the missus ended up having two cans of it last night.

    I'm usually not the biggest fan of cherry in stouts (the last one I can remember LOVING was BCBS Cherry ages ago) but this one hit all the notes for me. It's an all time well done cherry stout in my opinion, being honest though it's not a style I have often, so take that for what it's worth.

    I'm starting to worry that all these self interviews are moving past isolation entertainment into a psychosis brought on by prolonged sheltering in place.

    This is a good Pilsner, consistent with the style, good change of pace for stout season, though seasonally it may work better to commemorate the riot (April 21st) nearing Summer. Glad I have three more, but even happier to have picked up a second set of West Coast-Hero.

    Thanks for sharing, awesome haul including the half dozen glasses which were even nicer than the glasses released last year.

    Want to also concur on the always great customer service from the entire Revolution crew.

    Took a gamble on the mystery bag. Ended up with a Vanilla, ‘18 regular, a sweet Galaxy Hero shirt, comic book, two magnets, Anti Hero koozie, and a Rosa pin.

    To follow up: having my AB DBVSOD (that’s quite the acronym) now. I do not regret my decision at all. This is phenomenal.

    Nearly exactly what I got. Excited to revisit the vanilla.
    I am so angry with myself for forgetting to add that to my bag when I pre-ordered.
    Also trying a honey jacket for the first time. Missed the one during the 2019 summer. Loooottsss of honey flavor. I have a sweet tooth that I try to keep in check but this is very sweet without veering into cloying for me. Others may find it too sweet. This would be great to pair with a piece of banana bread

    My Deep Woods pickup is tomorrow but I snagged a 4-pack of Riot at the food coop today. I am LOVING this beer, and not just as counter programming to stout season. Just a wonderful beer and I hope it becomes a regular release.

    My crowlers are now past their prime. Guess I'll drain pour them.

    Pour some pedialyte down immediately after, or you’re going to be responsible for a sewer crocodile with a very bad hangover.


    This Deth by Cherries is much less tart compared to my memory of the first batch. It’s basically a cocoa / oak / vanilla / dried Cherry candy bar (but not sugary sweet). Not a super thick sludge like all the hype stouts these days.

    I really liked it, and am also happy that I only got one can. Drink ‘em fresh, defeat that ever-expanding cellar!

    Did you check to make sure there isn't a half naked man drinking your whales in your closet though?
