    So apparently there is a recall on a number of Revolution beers, the below one included (I opened one now for testing purposes, and I also had one on Sunday, and it seemed fine to me).
    While it may have slight Belgian characteristics that might be unexpected for this type of beer, I don't find it undrinkable. Personally, I'm going to enjoy this six pack and keep an eye out for a new batch in the future.

    Maybe @bowzer4birdie and any other Chicagoans on here can back me up, because I think I've seen a few posts of this beer as well as some others on the list and I don't recall anybody saying anything bad about them.

    Good luck Revolution-you're still my second favorite local brewery.

    Wow. Still on the first page! And I thought I was late to the party :astonished:. You must all be "enjoying" your day as much as I am. Sometimes, I really wish there was a job where you could perhaps make, serve, and enjoy beer with people who might have the same passion. Oh if only that were a thing....:wink: Daydreaming aside, let's bring this back down to earth. It's time for the Glass of the Day Awards!

    Some of you may have found out by now that the Staff is sympathetic, or at least empathetic when a fellow BA experiences tragic loss. Ladies and germs, please let us all acknowledge and appreciate for one last time @JakeScully 's :confused: Leffe chalice. Please avert you eyes to pic #2 if you are offended easily:slight_frown:. Cheers, and a very somber congrats.
    2nd: Any other day my friend! Timing is everything, but nonetheless congratulations on finally scoring this beautiful Thistle @BeerVikingSailor ! The Holy Grail of glasssware as far as I'm concerned!
    3rd: The highest honors are never received by establishment glassware, but some must go noticed and revered. @Salt-n-Beer , thank you for your proper and beautiful Stift Engelszell post.

    Honorable mention goes out to @dcotom for his clever use of this Southern Comfort Collins glass :wink:.
    Cheers everyone, and I will see you all soon!

    GotD.

    Well, considering I spend all my time on this thread being jealous of both glassware and content of said glassware, I'm gonna call that fair!:slight_smile:

    While I haven't had this year's batch, I was steered away by more than a few opinions out there that stated something didn't taste 'right'. At least they didn't drag their feet in acknowledging something's wrong.

    Before @bowzer4birdie says anything-I don't think I've ever seen that location for one of your beers before.

    A single I purchased about a month ago because I've heard some good things about this beer. The verdict? It's a crisp and refreshing easy drinker along the line of a Belgian farmhouse ale that's grassy with a little citrus and mild funk. In other words, perfect for a mild day such as today. I've done my part propping up the virtual bar, a nap is coming after I finish this!

    Good afternoon. My kids insisted on Mexican chocolate with their waffles before school, I shall insist on my version. Pictured, the first, now having my second with tamales...

    This is a Berliner weisse from my favorite Swedish brewer, Brewski. This is awesome, great balance, drinkable as hell. And I'm happy to finally have a Teku glass!

    Instead of beer, we decided on something with a little more octane than the Corona.

    I personally have not experienced any "off" flavors in that one yet. I had one yesterday and posted it on this thread, it was delicious. I have one more can in the fridge still...

    Big thanks to @2beerdogs for yet another delicious beer from his NBS BIF boxes. This marzen is crisp, easy drinking, nice body compared to a lot of the light bodied festbiers today, and just pumped with clean flavor.
