    Nah, just didn't think I needed to be quick. Usually there was no sell out for skip the line pre-order.

    I got the E-Mail Thursday. I have 147 points. :money_mouth:
    This sounds like a beer I would enjoy. It isn't a hops, hops, hops, hops, hops, hops, hops, hops brew.
    But now I notice some snags if I was going to try and order this.
    I give Google™ an address of 4760 W. Belmont Ave. (which is incorrect, but close)
    I am not driving my car to Revolution. :anguished:
    "When arriving, phone..." --- Phone? What phone? :confounded: No mobile phone for me until that guy is out of the White House. I do not want any texts from him. (I block him on Twitter. Hey - he blocked a brewery cat's account. Ask John Laffler.)
    I wear a mask and gloves. But if I show up there at the proper hour, I will be a pedestrian.

    They’re probably going to just have someone out at the curb to take names since it’s a dedicated release with time slots over 3 days.

    Where have you gone, @BeerCruncher , Rev Nation turns its lonely eyes to you.....

    Four things I learned while reading four pages of Supermassive Cafe Deth frenzy:

    1. Revolution Customer Service is awesome, going above and beyond any reasonable expectations, especially in light of everything going on the past three months.

    2. You needed 1,000 cumulative points as of a point in time last week to have qualified for the Wednesday email. (Not sure what the threshold was for today).

    3. Keep buying directly from Revolution to rack up points and rewards.

    4. Chicago and the surrounding suburbs really want their Supermassive Cafe Deth!

    No, all three of my online purchases from April and May were credited appropriately in my point totals.
    I was referring to the $20 purchase credit that gets applied for every $300 in purchases you make at Rev. I now have $40 in purchase credit that is there for the next time I purchase something at the brewpub or Taproom while I am there and make the purchase there.

    I'm pretty sure you are the most fascinating man in the world and the guy from the Dos Equis commercials is full of shit.

    I had something similar in the past and it was a small point of confusion. The system will try to give you a $40 credit but it's only supposed to use one per transaction. At least, that's what happens for me.

    Yup but the options for pickup are Sunday 6/21 through Tuesday 6/23. Only the Monday and Tuesday options are available now.

    Was able to grab a 4 pack! I loved this one when I had it on tap, $40 is a bit steep for me generally but I love Rev and figure they could use the support right now.

    Same here, I only picked up one 4 pack. The "regular" Cafe Deth fell off pretty quick, I'm not going to let these last more than a week, so buying any more seemed like a waste.

    I started with 3 packs in my cart, noticed it dropped to 1, went back to see if I could add two more and it was sold out. I didn't know earlier that they were also doing the release on Monday when I happened to be driving through town. So close but yet so far.

    I'm mounting my kids car seat to the hood of my car in hopes they let me through the curbside pick-up line early...

    If I'm rolling up in a GT40 it is to buy the brewery...

    I don’t feel this way at all. It fell off a bit, but it was so coffee forward before that it’s still as good as any BA coffee stout on the shelf right now. I still buy a pack every few trips to the store.

    I loved Supermassive on draft, and cannot wait to try these cans if they are anything close to that. It was much closer to how I remembered early Cafe Deth, which was a complete BCBCS killer.
