    Has Rev ever done a coffee Straight Jacket or a heavily dry boutique hopped Straight Jacket?

    Coffee Straight Jacket I don’t think so. Coffee Institutionalized yes and Toasted Coconut Institutionalized also yes. Those 2 were one time drafts maybe 5 years ago called Gentlemen’s Reserve.

    I vaguely remember also seeing strawberry jacket labels on the TTB site recently ...

    Didn't Bourbon County coffee barleywine dissuade everyone from thinking that adding coffee to a barleywine was good idea?

    Yeah good point. Supermassive was released last June so was thinking (hoping :wink:) the same this year.

    Yeah, I was gonna say, let's let GI continue to tinker with things and makes products we never really wanted to begin with. Let's let Rev continue to do their thing and crush it pretty much in all aspects. It's hilarious when 1 bottle of KY Fog or #4 is basically the same price as a whole 4 pack of DT, SJ, and Ryeway.

    The positiveve feedback from Fobab the year they put BCBS Barleywine through a randall with coffee persuaded them to do it. It wasn't bad by any means. Every thing GI does is polarizing. For everyone who likes prop, someone else hates it. For everyone who wants bcbs coffee back, some else says it's a pepper beer.

    listen - I, too, didn’t think coffee barleywine was very good fresh. But whenever I had a bottle last, it was excellent.

    and I curse moments like that, because every time I crack a beer with a couple years on it that defies expectations, my “cellar mind” switch flips from “drink it down!” to “your future self will love you if you just hide one more case in deep storage.”

    I mean, fair enough. I will say though, the beer nerds at FOBAB aren't exactly a great representative sample for the broader public who will pick up the beers.

    Also, BCBCS doesn't taste like pepper, but GI always chose coffees that were far too acidic for my liking, so I guess I'll slink over with the unredeemables. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: @Sabtos

    Interesting. I think I've got a bottle sitting somewhere in the basement.

    Based on the order they're writing out the May releases, my take is that the Deep Woods release is actually July 16.

    Pics or it didn’t—oh wait, I guess it did happen? I dunno, I’m too lazy to look it up. Thanks for not adding a link and thereby causing me to spend more time typing this little rant on my phone than it would take to actually look up whatever the heck you’re referring to!

    I'm not smart enough to link it here...I'm old.

    https://www.instagram.com/beeraficionado/ is the main page, and click on the upper left hand picture? And watch him tower over regular sized humans? This is the best I have. Going to bed!

    So in addition to copying FFF's imagery and branding , 18th Street is also copying their owners middle finger posing?

    Haha, I'm taller than Doug and can say that I'm comfortably under 8 feet. Maybe Drew is just short.

    Also, please stop posting me up in the paint. It's unfair. #unathleticpointguard

    Hey Team - 5:30pm CST would be a cool time to crack a Cuvée and tune into Instagram Live where Marty will be talking to Creative Oak in Paso Robles, CA where we sourced the supplemental oak for Cuvee. Should be interesting stuff and a sign of many projects to come in the future.
