    FTFY. And it makes for an excellent, (mostly) low hype bourbon. Highly recommended. I get access to pretty much everything but PVW 20 and 23, and they've been some of my favorites over the last 3 years. There was a Binny's pick in the last year that was called Hot Chicken that was just spectacular.

    Yes, but also offer it on November 13 for the season ticket holder pickup. Can’t make it that weekend despite it being in the calendar since it was announced.

    I realize a large number on this thread are primarily interested in Deep Woods discussion (I rate Deth’s Tar as solidly above average this season). However, just posting to say their annual Fresh Hop on draft (Farm to Fist) is by memory their best version to date.

    Liked it so much I ordered a second pint, despite only going in for a pick up and to have one or two beers tops before hitting The Beer Temple.

    Sandwiched in between was a pint of Nitro Gene, a robust porter, which was also a solid offering. Thinking of hitting the Brewpub or Taproom to enjoy more before they tap out heading into the next DW pickup.

    PS - PLEASE bring back A Little Crazy on draft for the taproom / brewpub to help me survive Winter.

    If you promise to buy at least a case, I'll do you one better

    Heads up, we will need to do early pick-ups on Wednesday instead of Thursday this release due to a private event Thursday. We'll be blasting this over and over again on all communication channels.

    For certain logistical reasons, the debut of the guessing game is likely to be Friday only but once we learn from round 1, we'll hopefully expand it.

    @BeerCruncher remind me, Farm to Fist was one you really liked, but was deemed too expensive vs. the reception it got?

    I saw it on tap when I swung by last week for a couple quick pours of the DW variants and was pissed I didn't have time to check it out. Never had the older versions and I love wet-hopped beers.

    Deal!

    I kept buying what I could find in the wild well after the 2023 release, and they held up well through about the end of last year refrigerated.

    Cues Paul Simon...

    Was a huge success at Diddy parties.

    As someone who loved DBVSOD this is great news. Just need to find someone to share

    A quick look through recent posts, I didn't see something here, but I did on Reddit. The brewpub closing in December?

    Wow, that would be big news. The reddit post mentions it was regarding a wedding planned in June which makes sense for someone like that getting advanced notice of a possible closure.

    This seems to be a question for @BeerCruncher ...

    Another comment there mentions a wedding planned for January being cancelled. Short notice, I hope there's something missing from that post that explains more. If not, I hope it's not a sign of something larger being wrong or anything like that.

    You mean like the beer and restaurant industry going under?

    I didn't. I was thinking more about concern for the well being of the folks at Revolution and hoping that there hasn't been some recent event that caused a sudden need to close.

    Ugh I hope this isn’t true as this is my primary source for rev on draft. I won’t drive to drink so I don’t go to the taproom casually - after all these years I’ve actually never been outside of a deep woods event or order pickup. I walk to the pub at least once a month for brunch with the family, a few pints at the bar, or just some to go cans.

    This was not the news I wanted to see having my morning coffee. I really hope this isn't true...
