    Do you know if there'll be a way to see your "skip the line" points on the Rev Rewards page somewhere? Right now it just shows total merit, but you can't see history or anything.

    That’s a money making idea right there. If you have a live ladder to see where you are in the queue for line skipping you know whether to get over to Rev and spend more money to move up and get the perk.

    So this is how you earn the name “BeerCruncher”...

    I wasn't being quite as aggressive (just wanted to know how many of my overall points currently count) but this could be interesting...

    Ryeway cans showed up at Binny's Grand earlier today. Heard they received 3 cases and after my visit they're down at least one 4-pack. As another poster noted, pre-tax price ($34) is significantly steeper than at Rev.

    a $4 markup for being able to walk into a store at your leisure for a beer you truly want?

    sounds more than reasonable to me.

    I'm not trying to say whether $4 is reasonable or not, but a store receiving only 4 cases does not to suggest to me that anyone can obtain the beer "at your leisure". I would think this would be much more limited than Deth by Plums, but maybe that is wrong. Maybe this will hang around for awhile.

    Ryeway in the Cleveland area this week. Had no idea we would get any, but it's beyond a welcome treat.

    That post where the guy is bragging about his newborn being to out-of-state beer releases has transcended this thread and made its way into other forums. It was recommended that I check out the discussion here but that comment exceeded expectations. Keep up the good work, Revolution thread.

    I put the over/under at 24hrs until it makes it's way into a DDB meme.

    Thanks, I am picking up a 4 pack tonight. Found a store in Cincinnati that has it. Had not even though to look since I did not think we would be getting it. Appreciate the heads up.

    Nice job @velita.....errrr, @BeerCruncher

    Yeah I was pretty down when we essentially got shut out last year on all deep woods cans, so the last thing I thought I'd see this year was not only getting Deth and SJ like we had before, but now also getting Cafe and Ryeway. Amazing stuff.

    The funny thing is that said guy is staring directly down at your post from above like the Brady Bunch show intro.

    Seems like there's still a fair amount of VSOD (and Plums, and Ryeway, etc) at the taproom.

    It was extremely painful not to have time stay for a drink (just popped in for the VSOD)...

    ...or two

    ...and also at least a couple of pieces of Little Caesars

    Being an adult blows.

    While I still prefer the ‘17 vintage I had my first can of this year’s Ryeway tonight and it is a burly beast of a beer. Took me a few sips to adjust to the big mouthfeel absent sweetness but I love it.

    I hate coming to the city for pizza and missing out on Little Caesars :wink:
