Revision California Distro (2018)

Enjoying a Planet Lovetron right now, picked up tonight in north SD. Mainly cuz it was a bit cheaper than some other options. Really nice, and I'm sick. Zero of the grainy/vitamin-y element that I got some from some early SD haze efforts.

 

I had the draft only "Gimme da Loot" NE IPA over the weekend. Very solid. Glad they are canning that one later this month. Couple new ones, couple batch #2s.

Just spotted in North Sacramento County by a guy on SBE..... lol.... They are bringing out the BIG trucks.... Should be full of Lord Lupulin IPA and Smoke and Mirrors DIPA

 

I really like and enjoy these guys west coast ipa’s. Kinda reminds me of the old Noble (no not year 1) and Knee Deep. Their Revenge Series looks like it’s picking up where Noble’s left off with the Shower series. But still looking forward to trying more of their hazy can series. Hopefully they will can all of their beers soon.

 

Yep! I enjoyed Sucka Fish and just bought a bottle of Drifting Through The Hopyard and four cans of Smoke & Mirrors from K&L.

 

They very well may be brewing the best WCIPAs these days or at least some of the best.

 

My preferred bottle shop had plenty of Planet Lovetron and The Bruff available today. So, assuming Smoke & Mirrors gets here in the next week, it may be a little crowded.

 

Couple new Revision labels for this months new release beers.....

 

Some of the oddest names and labels in the beer community today and that's really saying something.

 

They have to know they're ridiculous names and artwork, I think they might be coming with the frame of mind that they can name their beers whatever they want and put whatever artwork on their cans and people will still buy them because they know and we know what's inside matters the most.

 

Cans of Smoke & Mirrors and Lord Lupulin just arrived in the LA/OC area today.

Should hit retail stores next week.

 

Wasn't the Lord released 2 weeks ago?

 

Dates on my cans were 1/5 for LL and 1/6 for SnM if memory serves.

 

Smoke & Mirrors versus Lord Lupulin (b2)?
Only hazy can from Rev I’ve had was Planet Lovtron. One can left.
I can score a 1/6 keg of either right now? Which one?

 

I have a couple cans of both that I'm drinking tonight. I can give you my opinion in a bit.

 

Can't speak for your preferences, but I have LL in my bottom end of the Revision hazy offerings, though worth noting that the reviews/ratings seem polarizing. I loved the mouthfeel on SnM, but wanted the nose and taste to be more dynamic. If it was my coin, I'd grab SnM for my taste.

 

I feel like I have preferred the double ipas every batch till this one. Lord Lupulin is really damn good. Colorwise it is much thicker and hazier than than Smoke & Mirrors. Probably should have another Smoke & Mirrors to confirm.
