Revolution Brewing (2023)

Thank you. Would also miss you and everyone I've come to know and enjoy time with over the years. Fourth generation Chicagoan, never lived anywhere else, don't plan on moving despite the pleasant invitation to relocate.

I merely believe it is rational and fair to allow individuals, families, businesses and NFPs to prosper and pay a fair and equitable tax rate to fund services benefiting our entire community.

 

He can’t move because he already committed to his username…

 

I always forget, does the members Thursday pickup have all the draft variants?

 

Correct, just one. They announced one of the draft variants:

Sanctuary #27 - D.B.V.S.O. Thundertaker Express - Single Barrel - 18.6% (contains lactose)

This lean, brawny, Thundertaker-heavy blend of Rye and Milk Stouts was aged in Limestone Branch and Heaven Hill barrels before receiving a “smooch” of freshly roasted Dark Matter coffee. Cocoa, toffee, and vanilla spring from the glass before each booze-and-oak-punctuated sip.

 

Via Rev's newsletter-



It’s time to reenter the Deep Wood for the release of the formidable Deth’s Tar, an all-new Café Deth Coffee blend from Dark Matter Coffee, and the long-anticipated return of Deth By Cherries.

• Deth’s Tar: $25 + tax

Draft-exclusive Variants
In addition to the release beers, we’ll be pouring some one-of-a-kind takes on our Deep Wood program. Join us for:

• D.B.V.S.O. Thundertaker Express, Single Barrel - 18.6% ABV
  This lean, brawny, Thundertaker-heavy blend of Rye & Milk Stouts was aged in Limestone Branch and Heaven Hill barrels before receiving a “smooch” of freshly roasted Dark Matter coffee. Cocoa, toffee, and vanilla spring from the glass before each booze-and-oak-punctuated sip. **CONTAINS LACTOSE**
  
  
• PX Deth’s Tar - 16.2% ABV
  After two years in a single WhistlePig Boss Hog VIII Lapulapu’s Pacific French oak rum finishing cask this off-dry component Ryeway to Heaven boasts notes of vanilla, maple, candied pecan, caramel, and treats the palate to a long, dry, oaky, boozy finish.
  
  
• Double Café Deth - 14.8% ABV
  With over five pounds of freshly roasted Dark Matter champagne yeast and Nelson Sauvin hopped coffee per barrel, this coffee-lovers variation of Café Deth is a celebration of our partnership with the raddest roasters in town.
  
  
• Peach Brandy V.S.O.R. - 13.0% ABV
  We've been itching to release this beer from the moment we first laid nostrils on this pair of peach brandy barrels, one a steely American oak ex-bourbon, and the other a luscious, soft, French oak ex-wine cask. Two agonizing years later this off-sweet component of Ryeway to Heaven layers stone fruit and maple betwixt a latticework of rye-imbued spice and firm, silken texture.
  

 

PX Deth's Tar seems confusing as the description mentions Ryeway. Maybe my reading comprehension just sucks.

 

So sad i will have no access to Revolution BA offerings this fall. Truly IMO the best in size, value ,quality, and taste. Superb BA offerings.

 

@gatornation - Not sure if you have access to Tavor, but Revolution has been selling select releases on that platform. Perhaps Halftime as well.

I track this for BCBS which I stopped buying a few years ago, so may as well begin tracking Deep Woods Releases which liver permitting will always buy.

I didn't realize Ryeway to Heaven, my favorite DW, started off as a taproom only release.

Dam son, talk about comprehensive.

 

Peach Brandy is actually Cherry Brandy VSOR.

Until 10:00am CST, ask me anything (reasonable)

 

1) Saw you waxing poetic on wet hop beers, and that Rev's didn't sell well. I assume there's no hope of it returning any time soon?

2) Favorite on-tap variant for this Fri/Sat?
