    They just tweeted out there’s about 500 packs left, so looks they they definitely upped the production. Guessing there was a super early rush and then calm though.

    No proxies really limits the pool of people thankfully.

    If Rev continues to do online releases for their deep wood brews, I will continue to buy. I love how they've handled releases the last 12 months or so.

    No proxies is a huge help. And idk about the production. Last time was limit 3, I'm almost positive. This time limit 1. That makes for a lot more to go around.

    I thought it was 1pp so I looked it u, but turns out we’re both wrong. Limit was 2 last time. So yeah, limit 1 defintley helps as well.

    Done, and super easy. VSOJ, Supermassive, and a couple of glasses. Glad I checked here when I did.

    Beer bro shitlords watching their "resale" value tank. I love it almost as much as I'm going to love drinking this beer.

    Thanks for the reminder on glassware! Just picked up the VSOJ glass and a couple imperial pint glasses.

    More than happy only getting 1 4pk if it means everyone has a chance to get one. Really glad they went with no proxies as well as it then may have been a different story for many of us. Just as pleased getting a new release of Supermassive. Kudos to Rev once again.

    Looks like it finally sold out. Can't believe it was up for that long, here I was worried it'd be gone in under a minute. They really did a great job anticipating demand!

    Love those Imperial Pint glasses for all the 16oz beers out there - holds the beer and the head perfectly. and they make great gifts too!

    It was at least two because I bucked my usual trend and grabbed a second 4-pack.

    They look awesome!

    Truthfully, I wanted another glass after my 2.5 year old broke one of my BCBS glasses. The irony is not lost on me that I'm replacing it with more Rev glass :stuck_out_tongue:

    I hate to keep saying it, but this has been one of the (few) upsides to the pandemic; a lot of places (breweries in particular) that were more inaccessible before, have really down an awesome job getting their product to people in new ways. As someone who loathes standing in line for beer (I'm antisocial and I go alone :sweat_smile:), Rev's curbside releases have been killer.

    With that said, I can't get there this weekend, but I also can't wait to get back in the taproom and have these beers in their "proper" setting.

    Yes. The one aspect which was missing during the closures was the special barrel taproom releases. The April release, with resumed taproom service, was perfectly run, especially in light of the restrictions (capacity, mask) in place at the time.

    I appreciate the extra steps they are willing to take, and able to execute, to spread the love as widely as possible for the limited / high demand Deep Woods offerings.

    Can't wait to go Friday for the pick up and variants on draft!

    Yeah, it's really confusing. I ordered curbside for Rev, but it's a 5 hour wait at MORE. I'm sitting in my car on the shoulder on 290 with my shoes off. Something went awry..

    Where are you seeing this? I’m seeing individual cans get closed for stupid amounts. Sampler packs of all three closing for three digits…

    There is going to be a flood, but right now it looks like fomo is hitting hard.

    My comment wouldn’t post with my own emoticon :-(

    That MORE release sounded good when I saw it on Instagram. Well, good until I saw that it was back to in person line ups.

    Let’s be grateful that Rev doesn’t use Oznr and can run things off their own site too.

    You didn't crush 32 oz of 14-17% beer by yourself on a Tuesday night like @GuyFawkes?
