    Maybe a bit, but honestly, they've always responded to me quickly and professionally with any issue over the years - pre, during, and post pandemic procedures. The Rev team is top rate. Which reminds me, don't forget to tip everyone!

    Heh. Typically I proxy for other suburbanites, and I always shake my head and wag my finger at those who don't tip.

    Yes Meg is the best. She responds within minutes the few times I've had to get help with something.

    I would image the same as usual. Sometime between 8:30 and 9 AM. Rev doesn't announce a time, the link just goes live in their store. As someone who has bought most of the releases over the last year in the public pre-sale, thats how its been done.

    This is the way to be. I never understood not having the drive to keep the inbox as clear as possible. Once you get backed up it never ends.

    Funny how my comment is attacked for being snarky and holier than thou when I read comments like that on a daily basis around here and no one bats an eye. Glad Rev is cool and does things right for people, but you know if they hadn't been cool you guys would be flaming the shit out of them right now.

    Yeah not to be on my high horse…hops on saddle…, but if you’re spending $200+ on this release, you can handle the $20 spot for the rev crew

    False premise; Rev is always cool.

    Your comment was snarky not because you said you're not sure how Rev will handle it. It was snarky because you said "btw, I read the email first, then purchased", thinking you were truly a genius for it.

    Wrong. I'd say, bummer I screwed up and be happy with my 4 cans and move about my day. Their beer, their rules.

    :grimacing:
    Sorry about that and thanks for the heads up. I meant to list it at $350.

    Seriously though…
    I suppose you can flip anything you want. But if you’re a VIP to get early access you would think some friends would greatly value the beer and you could pass it on to them, or at least have a great share or make a nice trade?:grimacing:

    I haven't received a confirmation email yet for my order. Anyone else not get one?

    Just a few minutes ago, Marty was adding these freshly roasted coffee beans to complete our final draft variant – Unmitigated Audacity, a 17.2 ABV behemoth. The last two Weller Special Reserve casks of Double Barrel V.S.O.D. get the Supermassive Café treatment with over ten-pounds-per-barrel of Freshly Roasted Dark Matter cocoa-fermented coffee ... just because. The result is, essentially, Supermassive Café Double Barrel V.S.O.D.

    Joining Unmitigated Audacity on Friday:
    X.O.J. – 16.3%
    Batch 1539 has been a component in each iteration of V.S.O.J. since its inception on draft in 2017. Experience now its lean, lumber-laden swan song -- a full five years in the making. Subtly hazy with American oak tannin and fully-oxidized, evaporatively-concentrated malt sugars, this may be the most boldly flavourful English Barleywine we've ever produced. Goodnight, sweet prince.

    Boss V.S.O.J. – 13.3%
    Two-and-a-half years after filling these WhistlePig Boss Hog Calvados finishing barrels with sweet component Barleywine they've reemerged with mind-bending oaky nuances and a silky, mature malt structure the likes of which we've not hereto seen.

    Looks like somebody shared a code to the public and REV has now flagged those order and corrected the link. This is real fight club level stuff for VSOJ. Probably end up having to stand in the VIP line next time because somebody sucks at following the rules.

    I was pleasantly displeased to see I could purchase 2 packs of VSOJ this morning.

    LOL, and now someone shared the VIP links so they had to delete them and redo the links ...

    This is going really well for everyone ...
