Revolution Brewing (2024)

100% agree with this. Outside of hometown brewery memberships my money is really only going to Rev at this point.

 

I understand smaller breweries don’t necessarily have the capacity to facilitate an online sales mechanism, and larger breweries possibly might find cost savings by shifting to an outside platform.

However, I don’t regret skipping the local oznr released beers (Half Acre, More, P3, Mikerphone, Maplewood, GI), including several beers I would otherwise buy in person or online direct from the brewery. These breweries are more out of site / mind unless someone specifically points out releases haven’t sold out, including their regular offerings. I don’t go to these taprooms as often as pre OZNR.

I’d still purchase Ryeway to Heaven and other offerings available post OZNR sales, but would likely miss out on a few each year. There are also a few releases each year I’d likely skip without sampling at a preview party based on the listed ingredients or taste profile I end up liking or loving, which is why I enjoy having the option to get a box of everything plus more of my favorites.

 

From the On & On Part 3 Rev tasting video -> 16.6% (!!!)...drier and boozier than Deth's Tar, SJ and Ryeway. Gonna be a doozy.

 

Do we know for sure that Binny’s is getting VSOR Select similar to when they got a bunch of Thundertaker?

 

Thank you for that.

 

Get ready for that Binny's 3-tier system upcharge...
Cafe Deth is $30 brewery, $32.99 Binny's
Ryeway is $30 brewery, $33.99 Binny's
VSO Gravedigger/Vanilla Deth is $40 brewery, $45.99 Binny's
VSOR is $50 brewery, guessing it's $57-$60 at Binny's.

 

Still very reasonable pricing compared to normal brewery BA releases. Hard to complain about it.

 

Good news might be brewing for coffee fans fiends.

 

There's more beer out there than dollars in my wallet, so yes, I do take it into account. Breweries are free to choose their own sales strategy, and this is only one aspect of it. But one of my preferences is to spend less of my money at those who knowingly choose a platform that sticks their customers with huge fees.

And yes, I'm sure Shopify imposes some fees on Rev that we don't see directly when checking out. However, given that Rev has managed to put out 4-packs of Deth's Tar and Straight Jacket at the same $25 price point since before the pandemic and changing platforms, even amidst recent inflation and can shortages, I'm fairly confident that those fees don't approach what Oznr is charging. (I imagine Rev's online sales are fairly small for those beers compared to in-person and retail shops, so there's a volume vs margin argument to make here, but still.)

 

You must have missed all the people in the thread talking about how they love to be up charged.

 

Next week’s release cannot get here fast enough because this thread has been derailed with some serious “old man yells at cloud” vibes.

 

Ohh snap, let's gooo! Just when I was losing hope for life after Deep Woods...

 

There is no life after Deep Woods, only Deth.

 

My eye twitches a little after every good Deth/death pun when I remember that Rev's founder's last name is pronounced "deeth."

 

I only found this out, like, last year. Imagine my surprise.
