wife and i are not usually ones for beer dinners, but this was a no brainer. the food all sounds delicious and who would turn down all that straight jacket?

 

[foscorelli]

Man rev is killing it. Stopped in late last Friday to the brewpub and Cafe Deth is awesome. Deth Tar solid as usual and Deth by Cherries was nice without being overly cloying. Looking forward to the January release, enjoyed Mineshift Gap and VSOJ on a nice 60 degree Saturday in January of this year. Maybe I missed it but will there be a new batch of VSOJ? beeraficionado

Yes, but just enough for events and a few festivals. Two years ago, we'd didn't know this would generate so much interest so adding some scale will take a bit.

Seems like PlayaPlaya would fit right in in the Barleywine is Life group on Facebook...

Yeah i left after the Full Pint guy went all sexist ****** over The Beer Babe's name, or shortly thereafter.

I quit, too, but I thought it was nice that ole DDB noticed.

Half Acre Lincoln Taplist killing it.. had to get in for the Fluorescent cans before they are inevitably all bought along with the Tired Hands collab they release tomorrow..



I guess they also have a tap release today of some sort of Oxbow yeast DDC at Balmoral today as well?

Leaving balmoral now. Double daisy farmer is amazing. If you get BA big hugs and maple BA big hugs I highly recommend mixing them

Gonzoillini How crazy does the Brixie's thing that's happening tomorrow get? Can I show up at 9pm tomorrow at Brixie's and get a pour of Prop as it gets tapped?

It might be crazy at the start for folks who are looking for bottles to go, but I don't think it'll be too bad. Planning on heading out there after work this afternoon, but probably won't hang around for Prop as I'm heading to Michigan tomorrow morning.

You shouldn't have a problem getting a pour of Prop if you are there at 9.

Thanks. I'm planning on going to Rev earlier in the night and figured I'd try to swing through Brixie's before heading home since it's so close.

Two great taprooms opening on the block in the span of a few months should finally pull that nursing home out of a 1 star Google rating.

Anyone in the northern burbs, Warehouse Eatery right next to the Deerfield Metra station put Prop on around 9:30 last night and (I hear) that it's still flowing right now with no crowd to speak of.

The VSOD and Straight Jacket blend is fire

Best thing on that menu. Glad I grabbed a pour.

No joke here. Sticky sweet candy delicious.

Think I might need to save a can or two to see if I can recreate at home.

 

[tinypyramids1]

definitely my fave too. rye is second place.

 

[rmalinowski4]

Was unable to make it to the release, but had a Jammo-nilla with my dinner (Reuben burger) at a restaurant in the burbs. Very impressed, paired well with the burger.

 

[dgoogle]

This Woodford Rye variant is insane. One of the better rye barrel aged beers I've had... Revolution out there killing it again!

How did brixies turn out?

 

[thewimperoo]

How did brixies turn out?

It was pretty busy. Showed up at 8:45 and got a pour of Props around 9:05. $9 for 7oz. Should have ordered 2 at the time since it kicked before I finished my glass.

 

[RedCoffee]

Another silky-smooth Rev release.

 

[thewimperoo]

But yes the Rev release was flawless. Didn't really love VSOD or the variants besides the Reserve Blend, but overall so smooth and easy yet again.

 

[tinypyramids1]

according to facebook, was very glad that the wife and i decided to stay at rev and try all the variants rather than head up to rabbit's in our 'hood. one person who posted on fb apparently waited almost an hour for bcbs pours. **** that.

Rabbits was a definite shitshow. Showed up at 6:20. Got a Coffee, Prop and Reserve sample and peaced out after that.

Wife was a rabbits said there was a line at out the door for a while.

That’s my local btw, it’s walking distance from my house, so it’s also responsible for my hangover yesterday. If anyone ever wants to shoot pool HMU.

Is there always a portrait of Jared Jankowski above the bar or did they put that up for the event? Lol

Joe put it up for the event and advertised as "Jared will be here!" on Instagram
