Revolution Brewing (2023)

1. Will Revolution's Barleywine collaboration with Firestone Walker be distributed to the Chicago area (keg or packaged)?
   
2. Do you anticipate the current and prior year release count of eleven different offerings (give or take) as hitting the sweet spot in terms of sales, demand and managing the Deep Woods Program?

Looking forward to picking up and trying the Czech Dark Lager with the DW release, and also a six pack of Cold Time Lager!

 

There is hope and I'd love to bring them back, I just don't think they make much sense for wide distribution except some kegs for bars that are hyper into them. Our timing was not good that time with the hazy rise.

Double Cafe Deth - Fun story...I was part of the Coffee cupping with Dark Matter this time and I don't typically participate cause I'm not a great coffee taster. I joined more for content capture. After going through the blends, everyone was geeked on this one blend that we were all blind to and the votes started moving in that direction. There were two flags that I raised though which were 1) This coffee is so cherry-forward, but our 3rd release in this group is Deth by Cherries, 2) Cafe Deth always has this distinct taste and while I love this blend, this is wildly different than what every other Cafe has tasted like. So then the experts took over and went in a completely different direction with the blend, but we decided, let's make a Variant for the party out of that one which turned out to be an experimental blend using Nelson Sauvin. I haven't had the actual version yet, but that's how it came to be.

 

I legit don't know for sure since that won't release until January 2025, but my best guess would be no distro on cans.

2 - January
1 - April
3 - July
3 - October
3 - November

That's my sweet spot at the moment

 

Did you get Prop Day tix?

 

I'm sorry but the AMA ended at 10am CST so I'll have to leave you in suspense

 

Way late to the party, but still want to ask - was this beer brewed with or dry hopped with Nelson Sauvin?
I saw the email too and I'm just getting more confused the more I read about what's happening with Nelson Sauvin:
"With over five pounds of freshly roasted Dark Matter champagne yeast and Nelson Sauvin hopped coffee per barrel"

Nelson Sauvin-hopped coffee?

 

This is a bit dated, but pretty concise and hopefully helpful:

So exactly how does this hop fermented coffee process work?

Hop pellets are potent little capsules that contain gargantuan levels of acidity, spice, and fruit. Managing the exact hop dosage is very important to get the desired effect in the final product. Catuai was chosen for this experiment because of its stability and consistency, two characteristics that helped to gain more control when conducting experiments. To make a long story short, the end result was essentially dry hopping three different fermentation tanks holding the Catuai, each with a different hop. Citra, El Dorado, and Mosaic hops were chosen because of their differing characteristics with spice, fruit and herbal notes .

 

Dark Matter Coffee beans are potent little capsules that contain gargantuan levels of acidity.

 

What you're telling me is this is...
Deth's Tar dry beaned with coffee that was dry hopped with Nelson during fermentation
Ok now my brain hurts.

 

To be clear, the coffee was dry hopped while the coffee fermented. OH NO ITS BLOT OUT THE SUN ALL OVER AGAIN SEND HELLLLPPP

 

Blot out the Sun or the barrel aged beans beer whose name escapes me?

 

Crack the Skye has entered the chat...

 

Oh did I screw that up?

 

This was excellent.

 

BA Crack the Skye or just regular?

 

We can’t even remember which beer it was at this point…the beans are more memorable than the beer…

 

Yes.
