Revolution Brewing (2020)

Just, maybe, don't buy it?

Revolution is doing all kinds of cool shit right now, so to only post the one thing you don't like seems a bit shitty.

As stated several times in this thread, I think Revolution is easily one of Chicago's best breweries, so take my "clap back" with a grain of salt.

 

Lighten up, dude. It's clearly a mistake and I'm giving him a little shit. Other patches are like $3 or $4 so someone obviously fat-fingered the price.

Thought the laughing emoji I added made it clear I was joking.

 

Rev is generally awesome, but I would love to hear the justification for charging $31 for what looks to be a standard patch.

They make mistakes and clearly this is one

 

That is a sweet-a** patch. Honestly, I could totally see this being a $10 impulse buy for me. Then, it'd likely wind up buried in my kitchen drawer once I realized that (a) I'd have to scrape layers of dust off of my guitar gig bag to iron this on, and (b) all of my backpacks are made of weird, waterproof synthetics that would probably melt if I brought an iron within 3 feet of them. Eh f*ck it, maybe I'll just shotgun a Straight Jacket, buy the damn patch, and stumble around the attic looking for my 20+ year old LL Bean pack.

 

I appreciate the heads up. I let the team know because it’s definitely a miskey.

 

Sounds like you just designed the new million dollar slogan for Miskatonic Brewing.

 

The release schedule posted at Revolution yesterday. The server wasn't sure whether Mixed Berry Ryeway would be available via draft next Friday.

Perhaps the Binny's collaboration pour is what they are referencing for August 15.

 

I thought I saw something about them collabing with Hop Butcher again- I’d guess it’s that

 

No mixed berry reviews yet??

 

Mixed Berry and Supermassive are on draft at the brewery (and Monday for the Milwaukee reopen), $12 for 8 oz. I didn't purchase a draft pour, but looking forward to popping a can at home.

Lots of other good draft options as well, with Working Mom, Cuvee De Triomphe, DDH Mango Hero and Paddy Wagon. Thought Point du Sable was OK.

Received Supermassive Cafe Deth and Code Switch in my Deep Woods "Mystery Pack", happy.

 

Picking mine up this afternoon, along with Black is Beautiful. I’m really excited to try that one as the supposed DT base. Nothing like imperial stouts and BBA barleywines on a 90+ degree day!

 

I had a Mixed Berry last night (probably not in the best tasting state of being) and it was delightful. Tons of berry. I will have another tonight prior to multiple beers before. Interesting that it's only 12.4% percent which seems like one of the lower ABVs from the Deep Woods series in a while. Guessing that's from all the berry puree/juice. It's very red.

 

Just picked up my MB Ryeway. Such an easy and smooth process. Extra bonus of getting a free 6 pack of Ghost Ride Kolsch

 

Aww man, I thought I was just special!

 

Excited to try mixed berry. I had a Boss Ryeway a couple nights ago (sometimes, with this heat, I need something lighter than a stout). It was delightful. I think some of the cognac punch that existed when fresh has subdued and it’s now rich and complex and way too easy to drink.

 

Such a nice surprise! Solid people.

 

I would be ecstatic to get some free Ghost Ride when I pick up tomorrow. I love that beer.

 

As always, the Rev Brew Crew killed it at pickup yesterday - and that free Ghost Ride was a nice surprise. (and I thought it was me being such a nice guy?!?)

I had the Mixed Berry Ryeway side by side with a Ryeway To Heaven last night -- The Berry version is a nice summer complement to the Deep Wood series - it is very (berry) good. Regular Ryeway To Heaven is one of my favorites, and would still get top billing for me.

I agree with @ktr5010 about the lower ABV of 12.4% being due to the berries - just like Deth by Plums was 11.7%. Others relatively lower were Deth by Cherries at 13.1% and Deth by Currants at 13.6% vs regular Deth's Tar at 14.8%, along with both Strawberry Jackets at 13% vs regular Straight Jacket at 15% in late 2019. (though the SJ released in Jan '19 was 13%).
