FIB War Room

[RedCoffee]

If being opaque and inaccesible is your 2020 craft beer strategy, even as your previously highly sought after beers sit on grocery store shelves everywhere... yikes.

I mean who knows maybe that angle still works for them. But when the consumer community is debating whether or not your variants are worth taking on 4 overpriced and unwanted bombers I gotta imagine things are less than ideal.

The hype is dead!


Truth is Dark Lord Day has taken several hours to sell out the past several years.

Czech Dark Lager cans are back at Dovetail. Make sure to stock up.

 

[danbanana]

Maple Deth is more barleywine than stout. The maple is more molasses than maple. Sweetness is controlled. This is very good.

So much this. This years batch is tasting fantastic. I'm already on my 2nd 4 pack.

2011 says hello

 

[user 306237]

Don’t sleep on this year’s regular Deth’s Tar. It’s damn good. Big, heavy stout but still dry and no alcohol burn. My first thought is that it reminds me of Baudonia.

beeraficionado, you guys aren’t using moldy barrels, are you? Baudonia has long held the crown for me for BA stouts, flavored variations notwithstanding, but this one… damn. Nice job to Marty and the entire team!

 

[RedCoffee]

I had my first Cafe Deth of the year last night. Maybe it's the distance making the heart grow fonder but DANG the coffee on this beer. DANG.

 

[user 306237]

Damn...

I don't even want to tag Doug since this has got to be such a tough choice - and not one that's unique to Revolution! I liked ordering 4-packs with my cheese curds but if the numbers don't work, they don't work. And I know we're going to see more and more announcements like this one, too, and they will all be terrible.

 

[RedCoffee]

Popped over to Rev the webstore to see if they had those fancy glasses back in stock yet. Happened to see that regular DT is listed as...... sold out!? Already!? It lasted til summertime last year!

beeraficionado please tell me that this is the result of either a coding error, rationing, and/or Rev's popularity exploding and not a sign that you're massively dialing back on barrel-aged beer production.

 

[Tyrsis]

I'm guessing they distro'd a bunch of it too

Baudonia remains my favorite barrel aged stout to ever exist. It was so fudgey.

No scaling back, they just flew this year and we commit early to sending X amount to our retailers so that'll be the only place to find it. The other two will be gone today.

 

[RedCoffee]

I managed to get mine earlier so I'm just glad to hear it sold well. Super great year of it!

 

[Hopping Tiger]

When are we going to hear more on the super secret collab? I feel like the War Room deserves advance knowledge on this.

 

[Tyrsis]

oof, Benthic release was bad

 

[DiscountMegaMall4ever]

"Was"? You went with the truffles?

 

[thewimperoo]

Never was able to get it to go through and get a confirmation, but I do have 11 pending charges on my credit card. Thanks Tock

 

[Tyrsis]

"Was"? You went with the truffles?

once I saw that I had to buy truffles and a glass, I said "**** this"

though they have since fixed it, so I picked up a pack

 

[middlebrow]

oof, Benthic release was bad

i got 1300 in pending charges on my CC

 

[Tyrsis]

Yeah I have one for 200, not including the one that went through

The Alinea Group wasn't considering beer nerds while building their system.

Heliostat in cans!

 

[ClCardinal84]

Well 2020 sucks even more now. Saw the news about Shelton Brothers and thinking of vav

If you've ever had our Keller Pils at Great Taste, we put it in cans and attached it to a neat bit of Chicago history. It's really really good:

i sorta know beer and margherita pizzas, everything else they do there with food continues to amaze me and is beyond anything i couldve imagined. pete and polly hired a perfect mix of people with off the wall talents, tastes, & backgrounds. pete's a friggin madman evolving the business every 2 months to the whims of covid, i just hope that damn vaccine comes so he can settle and try to enjoy his monday's & tuesdays off.
