    You've got me hyped, friend. Can't wait to crack one tomorrow.

    To complete the nerdiness, here is what I gave to the curbside team today. Their eyes went big and they said, "This is Awesome!"
    While I'm sure they thought, "What a nerd. Keep giving us your money." (big smile)

    Not seeing it either.

    Also started just doing a printout of each order since I’ve been picking up 4-5 orders for the last few

    We can’t wait until you crack a crowler of it.

    I’m picking up tomorrow up with the Star Wars crowler. Plan on firing up the green egg when I get home and solo doming said crowler. Hoping I’m timing Fawkescast simultaneously

    People bitching about Rev curbside lines need to go through a Portillo's or Chick-Fil-A drive through.

    Okay - I have always enjoyed your posts, but now you have my respect.
    My Egg cranked out some kick ass chicken thighs last night, and since Jewel had Pork Butts for $.88/lb, I'm smoking 3 on Sunday with different rubs: cajun, mexican, standard. Pairs well with Fistmas (or any other Rev beer).
    Just follow the smell to Oswego...

    Jewel Pork Butts is the worst Hop Butcher haze I’ve had yet

    Ok, we’re beyond the second to last release (more or less) so when do we find out that mystery collab?

    I think @ktr5010 broke the news that it's a Half Acre collaboration...but I haven't seen any indication about the beer itself...

    @TomFoolery_x - thanks - sorry my pics won't show up. I'll get a better picture sharing service.
    I was just showing my nerdy spreadsheet with the 5 orders, names, order numbers, etc...

    @HouseofWortship - well played. That's some high-level word-play and ball-busting. Have you been to one my shares in Oswego? (prior to March 2020)

    @Nbrock24 - nicely done.
    But the pork butts from Jewel were the Hormel brand. (I did not say *****, Mel)

    You'll love my pulled pork after I rub the meat and smoke it. (okay, now stop it!)

    Yeah. That's what was mentioned off hand on the last Zoom tasting. I've also been checking TTB every few days to see if a label gets approved.

    DBVSOD is fantastic. Big dark fruit streak through the middle of it that I didn’t expect. Very complex, very enjoyable, and like others have said, probably the smoothest 17% ever.

    **rides bike in the freezing rain to Revolution**
