    Change your avatar to a sox logo and I'll try to get one for you :sunglasses:

    But in all seriousness, I was at Binnys Palentine over the weekend and they still had maybe 30 Straight Jackets there. Im thinking you will be good.

    And in further seriousness, if you need me to pick you up one, I can certainly try to make my way up there, but I have some judging Saturday, so im not sure I'll be able to make it up :-\

    you sir (despite the cubs logo) are friends with everyone on here. You are amongst friends, its like AA but for people that drink. But you are still a junior member as you haven't received the welcome handshake which is actually a Nate high five.

    It will probably get sent out through their distribution channels, too. If you get Revolution where you live now, keep your eyes open a few weeks down the road. You'll pay more but you might be able to save yourself a trip to the city.

    Planning on going to this. If you see a scrawny college kid in a Northwestern sweatshirt, come over and say Hi!

    Can I safely assume these will be around until next Thursday or Friday?

    Unless they release much less of these than VMC, Straightjacket and 3rd Yr, I think they will be accessible for a couple weeks at least. For each of those they said it would only be available at the brewery and each went into distribution.

    Until one of their releases proves otherwise, I would assume this is going to be the case.

    From Facebook:

    Revolution Brewing
    Don't forget: tomorrow at 2pm we release Mean Gene and Bean Gene in 22 oz. bombers at the Kedzie Ave. brewery. We will only have about 1500 Mean Gene and 1800 Bean Gene bottles available so make sure you don't miss out!


    So not even close to the 5000 bottle count mentioned above. Was that confirmed for any of the previous releases?

    Sounds like about 5 or 6 bourbon barrels of each. I love that they released these the weekend 1/4 of the beer folks are 1500 miles south...weee.

    Crikey. I'm hopping on the blue line now so I can get in line. Can anyone recommend some sort of side sided over the shoulder cooler that fits can fit 8-9 bombers? I would like to spend $12 or less.
