Revolution Brewing (2021)

Variants for next week's release sound incredible:

VERY SPECIAL VANILLA DETH JACKET (ABV to come)
A blend of Jim Beam Distiller's Masterpiece Bourbon French oak PX Sherry finish-aged Stout and Barleywine, and two Vanilla Deth "money barrels" – one dosed with three pounds of bourbon-soaked Papua New Guinea. vanilla beans, and another stuffed with toasted Forêt de Tronçais French oak. Lumber-derived vanilla soars above a torrent of sweet caramel, date, and softened roast. Pinkies up, kiddos.

VERY SPECIAL OLD FLAK JACKET - SINGLE BARREL (14.5%)
A single Heaven Hill barrel of sweet component Barleywine and dry component Ryewine aged three years, and a couple hosefuls of twice-barreled dry Barlewine, just as a treat. Cooked sugar, Shvanilla, and enough maple to warrant dual citizenship in Canada make an amicable rukus before a prompt finish compliments of three years resting in American oak.

Rum Barrel V.S.O.J. (15.8%)
Unblended sweet component Barleywine aged in a pair of sopping wet Great Lakes Distilling Rum barrels for three years. Familial expressions of malt sweetness and time resonate within a chasm beset by towering walls of barrel and spirit.

 

You're not lying!!

 

omg this is next week already?

 

Still curious to see how special releases will work now that Rev uses Toasttab (for everyday ordering, at least).

EDIT: Nevermind, looks like the march store is still active. I'm guessing they'll still use that.

 

Were limits posted yet? I don't have the book of faces. Guessing unlimited for SJ, 2 (maybe 3) for vanilla, and 3 for blackberry?

 

Prices and Limits posted on 11/1 for this release:
Straight Jacket – $25/four-pack, no limit
Vanilla Deth – $40/four-pack, limit 3
Blackberry Finn – $40/four-pack, limit 2
Proxy pickups will be allowed for this release. Straight Jacket and Vanilla Deth will see some distribution. Blackberry Finn will be a brewery exclusive.

 

Thanks. I missed that.

I was close though!

 

Welllllllll limits on Blackberry Finn were originally 3 & got changed to 2

 

Regardless...

 

Nice short read on the three releases coming that started out as draft only at release parties.

Temple of Deth is very very good. Stopped by today to grab my two pack and talked with one of the owners about the process. Really cool. Go try some before it kicks!

 

They did 2 packs?!

 

2 packs of 8ox cans.....I had it in the cart, hesitated & missed it

 

Congrats to Rev on winning the gold in the Barley/Wheatwine category and then Runner Up for Best in Show at FOBAB.

Obligatory "they were robbed" post.

 

What did they win with? I forgot to look at what they were bringing.

 

All the winners are posted on the site now. https://www.fobab.com/hall-of-fame

 

VSOJ

 

Having had both Gold & Silver in that category there is a very large gap, in my opinion, between the VSOJ & Silver
