    We have angered the FUPA Gods to allow the Revolution thread to fall off the first page.

    To recap an excerpt from last year’s front page:
    “Upon the flourishing field of locked 2022 threads, I noticed in last year's Rev thread started by @GuyFawkes he mentioning having a Ryeway to Heaven. Coincidentally enough, I happen to have a Ryeway to Heaven poured right now so perhaps it will become a tradition for the yearly thread.”

    Yada, yada, yada…

    I attempted to quote this copypasta from @Jaycase but locked for 2024 means no quotes. I will carry the Ryeway torch having drank an Apple Brandy Ryeway and a 2023 in the last two consecutive sessions this weekend, the 2023 tasting more refined and bold. Drink them fresh!

    We have the final Deep Wood January release to hype towards: the Return of the Jedi of the Half Acre trilogy with On and On Part 3 and VSOR Select. Let’s pray for fast fingers and low limits (for those of us not on season pass this year)!

    And this would not be a summary without saying we are graced by the most magnanimous brewery contact alive in this thread, @BeerCruncher - thank you for all you do here and throughout real life, actual important things.

    Happy New Year to all the solo domers and anti-pastry kings!

    For info, looks to be a wrestling & craft beer event, "Trouble is Brewing: A Pro Wrestling and Craft Beer Extravaganza", hosted at the brewery/taproom based on this IG post.

    Two rare Rev beers on at Hopleaf: Fifty Fourter Porter, an English Porter brewed for Hopleaf's proprietor's 70th birthday, as well as Riotor's Reserve 2024, an "exquisitely absurd" version of VSOD aged in a forest worth of different barrels and coming in at 19%.

    Also, rare / one-off beers from 3 Floyds, Goldfinger, Half Acre, Off Color, Art History, Maplewood, Allagash, Dovetail, Fair State, etc...all for that same birthday celebration.

    They have already started announcing some parts of the card, and you can learn more via the warrior wrestling Instagram, a link to which can be found below.

    I don’t know what any of those people mean. If Anti-Hero isn’t wrastlin’, who do we root for?

    I think draft variants for the release parties used to last most of the weekend unless it was a one off (like single barrel made). Is this still the case or has the norm shifted?

    It’s been a little while since I’ve been able to make a release. My crew can’t make it till Saturday at open for VSOR Select and On & On.

    They usually last through the weekend. Not always. They also sometimes hold back certain variants on Friday to make sure some last until Saturday. You SHOULD be able to try 'em all on Saturday, assuming you can get there fairly early.

    And I must implore you to make an effort to try Rioter's Reserve 2024. It's currently on tap at the Hopleaf and that MF'er is glorious.

    Would be nice to see Cold Time in 19oz cans. I think this would be a great candidate for a tall boy
