    Along those lines, if @BeerCruncher got his own Hero beer, what would the hop bill be?

    It was there for the VIP option on Monday...maybe all of the FUPA Gods gobbled that up.

    I love the style, but honestly, I would love to see similar style in a smaller format. Perhaps 10, 12, or 14 ounces? So few breweries do a glass in that size, that I find myself grabbing the same two glasses over and over at home.

    Emailing for sure helps...but the Rev crew is super accommodating on these release days / dates. If you have a legitimate order, they will fill it whenever you show up. It's obviously best if everyone shows up exactly when they are supposed to, but I'd bet they will never just turn you away.

    I wouldn't sweat it too much.

    This right here is an example of why @BeerCruncher is so deserving of the promotion he just announced on IG. Even after a fairly glitch free online experience today, ending a stellar Deep Woods season, he is still working to make sure Revolution is putting the best effort as to service and honing the best products for consumption, connecting meaningfully with the consumer.

    Thank you, Doug for your tireless efforts- from providing industry insight to our little corner of the BA community, to your impact on the craft beer scene in Chicago generally, but most importantly for your service to the people of this community through efforts like the Lurie Children’s project.

    May your future endeavors and continued success inspire others to such service and philanthropy!

    Since I just demanded that my sister obtain it for me in the next week I should probably double check, does Ryeway to Heaven see distribution and would she find it at a Chicago binnys this week? I know the apple brandy version was super limited but regular is just limited disteo right?

    Yeah they distro regular Ryeway. The Binnys I went to yesterday still had it - this was the suburbs and not the city, but still...she shouldn't have a problem getting it.

    Plenty of Ryeway to Heaven was available at the Binny's in Portage Park as of last week and I am pretty sure it would be available at most Binny's in Chicago area. Can call them to double check. Also Ryeway is still available at Rev for curbside pickup and will save ya some $ compared to Binny's, that ya can tip the awesome Rev crew!

    I wish their were more Willi glasses. When Half Acre stopped using them at Lincoln, I was surprised. They had that Willibecher/grenade combo of glasses that hits everything I really want from glassware. Similarly, I wish more people made grenade style glasses.

    The Half Acre collab glass is an 11.25oz Willi, so right where you're asking

    The wrestling themed one coming down the line is going to be 13.5oz fitting for our 12oz cans (ie League of Heroes). I am very excited about this one.

    You can do full color on the big 20+ oz Wllis but I hate when you pour our can sized in the glass and it only fills up say 60% of the way.

    Wow thanks so much for the kind words. The check is in the mail.

    In all seriousness, it's a lot of fun to get to have dialogue with people who are as passionate about drinking our beer as we are about creating it and running a successful business around it. Thanks for keeping this forum going and let me know if you ever want to deep dive on a topic.

    A couple weeks max, we had to tweak the artwork today to ensure it prints the way we want it to. I'll show a preview of it sooner though.

    Ha! Maybe instead a couple cans of VSOJ mysteriously find their way into my On & On and Apple Brandy Ryeway order? :wink:

    And no, I’m not above begging. BIL!
