    Looks like I can't copy and paste directly from twitter without loosing the photo. More posted about the road rage incident on 8/25. You can see the series of tweets. I found this haphazardly by being on Rev's Twitter page (from yesterday), and closing it out today. @BeerCruncher

    In case anyone hasn't had a chance to try these, looks like you'll have a shot tomorrow (along with the Archetype ice cream):

    Tomorrow, in celebration of Labor Day we will have a limited number of on-premise bottles available at both locations.

    Available variants will be:
    ʙᴀʀʀᴇʟ-ᴀɢᴇᴅ ʜᴇɴɴᴀ: ᴅᴏᴜʙʟᴇ ʀᴀɪɴʙᴏᴡ ($40)
    ʙᴀʀʀᴇʟ-ᴀɢᴇᴅ ʜᴇɴɴᴀ: ᴛᴏᴀꜱᴛᴇᴅ ᴍᴀʀꜱʜᴍᴀʟʟᴏᴡ ($40)
    ʙᴀʀʀᴇʟ-ᴀɢᴇᴅ ʜᴇɴɴᴀ: ᴄʜᴏᴄᴏʟᴀᴛᴇ ᴘʀᴀʟɪɴᴇ ᴍᴀᴄᴀʀᴏᴏɴ ($35)


    We also will be serving: Arketype: Coco Flux FroMo, our 11% imperial stout with toasted coconut & cocoa nibs in soft serve form!

    Bottles limits will be 1 of each variant per table.

    Both Huntley & Villa Park will be open normal hours. First come, first serve. Quantities are limited and subject to sell out.

    First come, first soft serve. Any word on cones per person?

    breakroom buddies is really really good. not overly fruited, the citra is dominant here. pineapple and tangerine bring out some of the flavors but dont overpower anything. one of the best "fruited" ipas ive had this year.

    raspberry lemonade frooted is good, one of the better ones they've put out. sweet. literally lemonade. hard to distinguish it as a beer but im not mad i grabbed some.

    Do bottle releases sell out pretty fast? I just noticed Imperial Falling Colors: French Silk went live today but can't make it there until tomorrow afternoon. Thanks

    Alright...apparently it was never supposed to hit the online store and was to be walk up only. Huntley has a healthy supply and it should last through tomorrow according to the counter.

    I've got a friend hitting up VP location today... hoping they're in time before it sells out. Thanks

    double strawberry marbles might be the best milkshake ive ever had. insanely creamy without any lactose burn, no chemical/artifical flavors from it either. really great strawberry and it finishes like a beer. strawberry shortcake vibes, might go back today for another 4-pack. blows double strawberry chantilly out of the water imo.

    monogatari though was my beer of the night. what a great surprise, glad i picked up a 4-pack. sweet but not over the top, melon for days with the salt definitely playing a role. really well done beer.

    can art on both is pretty great too. was my first time at the VP location in a while. they've updated their to-go area and its all really well put together. was pretty gutted seeing a completely empty restaurant with the UFC fight playing. this winter is going to be brutal.

    It doesn't have to be, but it probably will be as long as people with their "I'm livin' my life you stay home if'n yar scared!" attitude are running amok and congregating in close quarters.

    It will be, and there was never any avoiding it, because those people have been doing that for 7 months now. They should all be fired into the sun.

    Out here in DuPage County they're easier than ever to find -- just look for the places that are defying the dine-in/drink-in cessation order and see who is going to them....

    this latest batch of dusty is pretty great. mouthfeel is exactly what i want from the style. very happy with what more has been putting out lately.

    Don't tell Shaun, but I might prefer what MORE is doing on a regular basis...I know, blasphemy.

    Completely agree about Double Strawberry. Was what I was hoping double strawberry chantilly tasted like. I am also going to grab another 4 pack, and probably pickup a 4 pack of Dusty. Had Falling Colors as well but was not very impressed.

    I might have to pick up a 4-pack of the Double Strawberry if I'm in the area this weekend.

    Are you talking about the regular Falling Colors or the Imperial? I think the regular is good for an easy-drinking porter, but I was not impressed with the Imperial French Silk version.

    I feel a bit led astray here. Dusty was ok so no regrets there though Pixel is better to me when comparing. But Double Strawberry Marbles has the same problems the last regular Strawberry Marbles had: very sweet and artificial to me. A far cry from the OG batches (of the single) from in the Shaun days. I wouldn’t recommend the $20 4 pack

    Of P3 milkshakes, the only one I'd buy again is orange Chantilly. This summer I had the P3 Strawberry Chantilly and most recently Peach Chantilly and I found both of them undrinkable, amoxicillin messes. Did anyone else get this flavor?
