Revolution Brewing (2020)

Well, as a non card-carrying member of fightclub, at least I got a chance to read the descriptions. #stillarevfanboyFUPAGod

 

ISO DBVSOD Apple brandy single barrel crowler

 

I bought it before I saw your post. Sorry, wasn't trying to implicate you in my disappointment. Yeah, I like those 2 beers, but I drink them all the time. Still have multiples of both in my fridge.

 

Damn it, I totally forgot that was Destructor he mentioned last week. I didn't want to waste time (and wasn't going to buy both), so just quickly added the AB. Hope I don't end up regretting this impulse buy.

 

No regrets!! Yeah, these 32oz crowlers cost $50 each ($1.56/oz), but these are special double-barrel beers compared to BCBS variants which will run close to $1.54/oz.

For just $5 more last year at $55, we got GI Dbl Barrel ($3.25/oz) and they are probably the most comparable things to compare from the two breweries. (GI Dbl Barrel was aged for a year in 11-year-old Elijah Craig barrels then a year in 12-year-old Elijah Craig barrels).

Happy to take the plain crowler and drink soon vs GI fancy packaging if it keeps the cost down too!

 

Man, this is why you keep getting throat punched at Fight Club meetings....

 

I'm a few hours' drive away, so I've never had the opportunity to nab one of the special barrels when they hit crowlers a few days after a release event. Thanks for offering them in advance this time! Very much looking forward to trying both of these.

 

If anyone in city looking for another person to split / do a share with crowlers, let me know. Have a lot of other things (other Rev, Benthic and variants, etc.) could add to mix. Appreciate @Jagrmaister offering though not sure will work with our respective locations.

 

How long do you get to pickup your deep woods order?

 

You pick an hour time slot when you order.

 

When do these go on sale for the normies who dont have VIP access

 

Making one offs like this surely has to be more expensive than mass producing something like DT.

 

If you wind up having to change your pickup time, Rev is super chill about it. Source: me, I've done it a couple of times now. I shoot them an email ahead of time.

 

Rev posted on FB the public sale will be on Tuesday the 17th, and they seem to always be in the morning of the Tuesday before the release dates (https://revbrew.com/the-2020-2021-deep-wood-series).

Rev has always posted these "events" on Facebook, and this one is at: https://www.facebook.com/events/364826321447470/

 

Heed their suggestion to drink within 3 days. I kept a refrigerated DB VSOR crowler for about 2 weeks. It was flat by the time I opened it. Not sure why their crowlers hold up so poorly compared to other locals doing crowlers like Corridor and Goose Island

 

Apple Brandy is not utilized enough in Barrel Aged Beers IMO...Apple Brandy Noir is still one of my all time favorites, but havent seen it in ages!....would love to try this one

 

What time does the pre-sale usually go live? I stumbled into it last release and want to make sure I’m ready tomorrow morning

 

Rev has not posted a time, but if prior form holds true it will be 10am. BUT, you never know...
