Welp regardless I can’t make it. Boooo. Everybody drink it all for me.

I- like many here I believe--thought you were making the subtle version of what dan was saying.

Anyway I'm going to continue to pretend that's what you were doing.

Nah fam. Next time I’ll just click back a few pages instead of asking.

I'm really looking forward to that calvados thing John was describing.



Were multiple shotguns done, or was this the entertainment you sought

That’s the dude, Luis.

Well, sure - for the regular folks.

But for us privileged few, we get to have early access and a release party the day before, right? It's nothing you would ever advertise and if anyone happened to be there, they could naturally attend. It's not exclusive or anything.

This won't get you everything you want, but I think there's about 12 or so tickets left if you don't mind donating $10 to a food pantry, which is doubled by us: https://revbrew.com/shop/early-preview-of-the-deep-wood-series-rev-rewards-members-only

Also, the following places will have both on tap the night before the release:

• 8 Bit - Bloomington (4 p.m.)
• Crusade Burger Bar - Yorkville (5 p.m.)
• Deja Brew - Oak Lawn (7-9 p.m.)
• Fischman Public House - Chicago (6 p.m.)
• Links Taproom - Chicago (7-10 p.m.)
• Timothy O'Toole's - Chicago (5-7 p.m.)
• Whole Foods Ashland - Chicago (6-8 p.m.)

[Hopping Tiger]

Yep. There might be 1 or 2 375s of 2013 mp boon at lp binnys but the 750s of 2011 and 2013 seem to be gone from binnys and all the bigger beer spots; im only seeing 2014s now

7 or 8 MP 2013 getting all dusty at Niles Binnys. Right next to the Black Label and Discovery Packs.

Binny’s Niles got Girardin? Are you ******* kidding me?

 

[SAISON FUCK]

Binny’s Niles got Girardin? Are you ******* kidding me?

I think he meant Boon Black Label. Not that sweet Girardin juice.

 

[Hopping Tiger]

Yeah Boon Black Label. I would not have allowed Girardin to dust.

 

[SAISON FUCK]

Fond memories of summer 2016 finding 8 bottles of 2011 Girardin Black label sitting on the shelf at a ****** Armenetti's in Franklin Park.

I used to buy 4 bottles at a time at Orland Binny's in 2012. The supply seemed to be endless... and I haven't seen it on a shelf since.

So at far and away.....this fux. Awesome so far. Haven't done the 200 deep side project line yet but everything else is smooth.

Yup. Hard pass. Too many awesome beers to wait for a stout.

 

[capnmike]

Just walked in at 1:40 and ticked Recency Effect, Boss Tycoon, and BA Dilemma with no line.

 

[capnmike]

Monkish, Tired Hands, and Casey first to kick completely

 

[trickytunadicky]

Glad folks are having fun at the event. I noticed a couple of the breweries (using this term loosely here) that got licensing for the event are going to try to stick around and are having launch events. I have noticed Superstition (launch party at Burger Antics brunch from 11-3 tomorrow) and Casey (launch party at Local Option starting at 5P tomorrow).

Anyone else sticking around anyone has noticed?

 

[ClCardinal84]

Whoever said Saison Gratis was the best beer should buy a lottery ticket because he was freaking right. It’s like Arthur and Saison Bernice having a baby with super powers.

Saison Gratis and F+M Dochter Saison no-hype MVPs.

 

[ClCardinal84]

Vanilla Benthic if you want a hype stout MVP. Walked in, saw the Side Project 100 deep and got 2 pours of VB with zero people in line and it was glorious.

 

[tinypyramids1]

Far and away was a v good fest. Saison gratis was def a highlight. Was initially skeptical because for the first 10 minutes there was only one person scanning tickets but that was resolved pretty quick. I spent entirely too much money at reckless on the way home.

Only hype line I stood in was Casey. It was fine. Wouldn’t do so again, Too much other good **** on.

YOU'RE WELCOME.

Loved the BBA'd brown ale from Holy Mountain. That was my favorite of the day. Also loved their Offertory. SARA and Crooked Stave's gin-BA'd beers both were solid too. Benthic was probably the best stout I had, too.

Gross: Modern Time's Fellowship of Xul and Wakefield's Boss Tycoon.

Agreed on this one too, so good.

Flying in this afternoon. Anyone got any info on where some leftovers from yesterday may be found?

Also, good coffee spots?
I’ll be up in the Logan Sq/Avondale area at some pt today.

 

[thewimperoo]

Beer Temple still has stuff on from their event on Friday. The Beer Temple's Draft Beer Menu on Untappd http://untp.beer/f3463f1da4

Hopleaf is tapping stuff today from out of state breweries that were at Far & Away

(Link to media)



Gaslight Coffee and Passion House Roasters are my preference in Logan Square.

Well shiiiiiiit

Thanks Patty!!!!

 

[Tooch4321]

Holy Mountain is also doing an event with Solemn Oath at The Emporium pop-up space. Demonteller on draft, you need nothing else...

Phenomenal fest and even better it was local and required only an Uber and a ticket. Was worth the price of admission and more, IMO.

The crowds were solid but not so much that you couldn’t move. My only gripe was the music was a little loud in the tent but the jams were good.

Here’s to hoping this sticks around for many years to come.

 

[RedCoffee]

Looks like I have a well-timed visit from the MIL that will prevent me from making the VSOJ/Code Switch release. With a limit of 2 each, I'm guessing they'll sell out.

If any of you FIBs happen to be going to the event and happen to be wanting to buy under your limit, I'd be happy to reimburse you on a "go pick it up for me bro" of either one. Will gladly pay a handling surcharge.
