FIB War Room

[TheJB]

It's totally cool to disagree here, it's just an opinion-based disagreement. It's a much ado about nothing

If I can’t state opinion as facts then how will people know that the current batch is definitely not as good as the first batch?

Now THIS is the way to catch up to the SD thread!

Now THIS is the way to catch up to the Pittsburgh thread!

False. No one cares about Pittsburgh.

 

[Hopping Tiger]

I can confirm that Cafe Deth is still holding up. If you have any in your cellar I recommend drinking it.

Also, Vav, I do believe one of the founders of Rev is a Pittsburgh sports fan so obviously people care about Pittsburgh especially here in the Rev War Room.

Heh?

This is the best conspiracy theory on the planet.

False. Bernstein/ Bernstain bear trumps all.

Also to add my $0.02, Doug doesn’t post about EVERY Rev event in here and we appreciate his discretion of posting only things he know will appeal to the majority of us. Agree that it could be a potential tragedy of the commons situation if every brewery gets on here and posts, but i feel we do a good job of heckling the hell out of “outsiders” until they leave.

I’m also planning to hit Dovetail and maybe Maplewood / Spiteful Trifecta on Saturday if anyone wants to touch tips

Venue website/phone/flyers/email newsletters/word of mouth/other forums/press/etc etc etc.



It absolutely IS ridiculous. This seriously isn't a big deal. I thought i elucidated my point quite clearly, but i guess i'll do it again: I am of the opinion that it's weird when breweries/bars/whatever dip into enthusiast forums and promote stuff. I get the direct marketing aspect of it, and i'm not saying these businesses shouldn't have a presence or anything: They should. But...

you know who i blame...

I'm not sure I know who you're referring to. Someone get Rockapella on the line.

 

[Alum]

I don't care either way..

..but I feel like literally at least half the time we are tagging Doug asking him to answer questions / give us information.

Also, you guys sent me down a Youtube hole of Carmen Sandiego yesterday afternoon. So thanks for that.

The Mandela Effect isn't a conspiracy theory; It's scientific proof of alternate universes and constant Crisis-like mergings and separations of them.

True story: about 15 years ago, my dad and I got in a huge, pre-internet argument with my sister about what the color chartreuse is. Turns out that dad and I weren't wrong. We just remember a different universe.

Had that Dovetail beer at FoBAB, it certainly is a smokey funky wild that is what you are looking for. I got a bit too much band-aid personally.

Either that, or you just had no idea what color chartreuse is, like most people, and just assumed it sounded kinda red.

Edit: someone make a chartreuse sour beer, that is a greenish-yellow color, but randomly release a couple bottles of deep red cherry sour with the same name to mess with people.

Anyone who references 40 30 year old comic books in a post HAS to know his science, right?

Oh lord yes please. You Chicago guys are spoiled with all your rauch Dovetails, Malorts, and Fernetic.

It will be the NE Hazy IPA of 2019. Mark my words. Smoked meat and smoked beer fests. And the flatulence. Oh, the flatulence at the fests.

The color these people are misremembering is Cerise. Child minds and poor memories mixed the Crayola names together.

I only know what color chartreuse is because of the Slumber Inc. scene in Diamonds Are Forever..

Except smoked meat/seafood comes out of necessity/preservation whilst smoked beer comes from a place of self hate and confusion.
Dont get me wrong I like a good rauch or smoked porter but Chicago beer drinkers thoughts on Dovetail went from

"Dovetail is looking like a real MVP out there"

to

"lol @ the weird kid eating grass in the outfield"

 

[vav1]

I love sour smokey stuff. In fact, the beer i brewed with Freigeist as a Publican Collaboration Beer that will be available in March or so is just that....but i dunno, i have this weird idyllic view of Dovetail as unsullied by trends and just generally amazing at executing proper German beers. So i dunno...i knew it was coming but i'm feeling just ever so skeptical.
