    Oh geez, now we are complaining about having too many choices?

    Nah, just about people who aren't ready to make them after 2 hours in line.

    Didn't we establish most of these people had been sneaking in to drink multiple pours of high abv barrel aged goodness before they ran out while having their place held in line? And you expect them to be coherent!

    If you don't have the athletic talent to be in a pro sport, you don't get to be there. Drinking is an elite sport (that's right, tell all your friends--we're athletes!), and if you can't hang like some of us, then no, I don't have sympathy :wink:

    So dumb question. Got off work and drove like a mad man to south shore train because my baby takes the morning train was playing on Radio at work. Is revolution a better stop than half acre? I'm starving having not eaten anything but a protein bar since 530 am

    If you're hungry I'd go to Revolution's brewpub on Milwaukee.

    Half Acre's taproom also has food.

    Neither are bad choices.

    Purely subjective opinion: I much prefer the food/menu at the Rev brewpub compared to the Half Acre offerings. I'd check out their menus online first before making a decision though

    All.........If I were only interested in tap room entry tomorrow for pours, how early before 4 would I need to arrive? Surely not at 2pm like those who are interested in can purchase. I was thinking 330? Any insight/opinions would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.

    Monks had DBVSOJ on their menu, instead of VSOJ. Typo, or no?

    Yeah the beauty of the massive taproom. Remember to bring cash for pours/variants

    Thanks for the reminder. I will get there right at 4 or so since I assume the cuvee de grace and some of the double barrel offerings will kick first.

    Typo- note the abv on the Monk’s menu matches “regular” VSOJ 2018 abv at 13.8%. Double barrel VSOJ on Untappd is listed at 16.6%
