Revolution Brewing (2024)

ROBOTS! THEY TOOK OUR JOBZZZZZZ!

 

It wasn't meant to be. I'm in sales, and sometimes this makes a huge difference. But I apologize that this came off poorly.

 

What would Oznr do to Rev Rewards? Could be the question no one is asking.

 

Aren’t they done manually now?

 

They are.

 

Had my last Coconut Deth in preparation for the impending onslaught of Deth's Tar & Co. Drinking great and plenty of coconut for me (particularly so when ~ room temperature). And the aroma was outstanding. I recall some folks did not think there was enough coconut for them but it was just the right amount for my preferences. Bring on the next round.

 

All good my friend.

Rev Rewards = Toast, our retail Point of Sale system.
Shopify Sales = Manually Adjustment in Toast
OZNR wouldn't be any different. Not good, but no worse off than we are today.

 

Given the current state of the beer industry it would probably be a good idea for Rev to diversify and add a software development branch. Revolution Brewing and Software Development could then create their own perfect point of sale system.

 

Season ticket holders should check their email. We get to order and extra stovepipe of VSO On & On if wo desired.

 

How are people liking the stove pipes? Are you finding yourself treating these more like a 750ml or bomber and cracking open with friends for a special occasion or are people outside of the usual suspects solo doming these in an evening or splitting them up over two days, etc? I haven’t seen anyone complain yet and say “I wish this was in 12oz cans.”

 

I'm lucky my wife is a big fan of stout and barleywine with a particular favoritism for Rev beers so it's easy for us to split in an evening. Truth be told though, I could handle one of these myself given the self-imposed patience to pace myself for an hour or two.

 

I love Rev but passed on both 19.2 oz options so far. I'm a lightweight and 19.2 oz of high ABV beer is a guaranteed hangover for me. I don't really have friends who drink big stouts or barleywines and don't do bottle shares so I only buy a few large format bottles per year. I do think I'll make an exception for the DBXOD that's coming next month though.

 

They are great, in my opinion. Best of both worlds.

Splitting with 2 - 3 people works, as you're still getting enough to get a feel for the taste of the beer.

Tough day at work? Solo dome one & that's water under the bridge.

 

I'm happy to be the first--well, not to complain, but to give dissent--I would prefer 2x 12 oz. cans all things being equal, but I understand why they're in the form factor they are. 16 oz. is about as much as I tend to want of a beer at a time, and 12 is the sweet spot for me for bigger beers (since I'm rarely sharing them). Will I still buy the stovepipes I'm interested in, though? Probably, yeah.

 

Completely understandable. We have 11-12 other releases per year in 4-packs of 12oz cans, so we wanted to aim for a different occasion with these ones. 1) Sharing with a friend, or 2) Unintended, but I guess just going full send like my guy here

 

@BeerCruncher will there be extras of the ST holder glass available?

 

Honestly, I split a ticket with my buddy this year for numerous reasons. Stoopermassive we drank at DLD (that's Dark Lord Day for you @GuyFawkes ) for a pick me up mid morning. So, that was shared. The Cherry VSOJ I'll split with my buddy once we connect again. This go around is the first time we'll be getting a pile of stovepipes. We both got a VSO On & On. The others we'll share. Typically for me, at this point, a 500 ml bottle of something BA solo is a treat and not common anymore. So doing 19.2 oz solo will be a slog. It's less and less common that my friends and I get together to share a bunch these days. The days of sitting on shit for that "special occasion" is mostly over for us. But like @BeerCruncher said, if I got a hankering one night I might just go full send.

TL;DR - 12 oz cans would be great, but sometimes I'm worth an almost $30 stovepipe solo. I just really appreciate the way Rev runs this program with forethought. They aren't going to F anything up in my eyes if they keep the cost down and the quality way up.
