    Anti-Hero is their best beer IMO, Double Fist (DPA) was decent but the balance is somewhat off

    Coup D’Etat and Oktoberfest on tap fresh have been my faves so far.

    Eugene is delicious and i love anti hero. Their oktoberfest is the bees knees for me even though i havent had many oktoberfests. Their barleywine is really tasty in my opinion too. From the reviews not too many people like it but i loved it

    also, i had their cross of gold dry hopped with hops grown in the brewers backyard on cask. That was crazy enjoyable

    Eugene has replaced Founders Porter as my go-to porter. For me, this says A LOT.

    I have been crushing Eugene out of the can pretty steadily since it's release.

    I have picked up 6 packs of Anti-Hero at Trader Joes for $9.99 and at Woodmans West Aurora for $8.99. Also got some bombers of Double Fst and mad Cow for $7.99 at Woodmans. Glad to see this beer out and about!!

    Antihero and TV Party are their best IPA
    Double Fist is excellent amped up pale ale

    But the real money is in the un-announced casks. One of my absolute favorite beers from Rev Brew was the cask Coffee Eugene they had on cask for a few days after their grand opening. Can't wait for BA Coffee Eugene!!

    Red Scare is also the best hoppy red ale i have ever had, kicks nugget nectar in the balls

    Revolution is awesome, I actually recently had my wedding there and it was a blast. I haven't had a disappointing brew from them yet and Eugene cans now have a permanent spot in my fridge. The barrel aged stuff I've had has been ridiculously good too, can't wait to get my hands on some Very Mad Cow. If that wasn't enough, their food is also amazing.

    E. Norma Gene is the business. Strong bourbon and oak flavors on the nose that transition beautifully into super chocolate-y/fudge-like notes on the finish. The body, being real strong already, really stands up well to the 11 months of barrel aging. Could be my favorite barrel-aged beer from them in a while.

    And Red Skull... they should bottle that. It would make me really happy.

    You know how I can tell you haven't had Dry Hopped Nugget Nectar? Because of your statement :slight_smile:

    Well there's Red Skull (slightly edited version of Debbie's Little Helper from Will Turner's time at the Goose Island brewpub) and there's Red Scare. I couldn't tell you what the differences are but to be honest, I'd enjoy either one from a bomber but Red Skull is what's on tap right now

    No, but that goes without saying, doesn't it? NN fresh is pretty amazing, and the dry hopped/unfiltered NN is even better.

    DIPA is a pale ale, not double ipa
