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

 

[vav1]

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!

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.

oof, Benthic release was bad

"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]

i got 1300 in pending charges on my CC

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

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

The Brewpub's allocation just added back in, but won't last long

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.

 

[thewimperoo]

Damn, all of these new beers from Is/Was this week look great. Really wish I could get the delivery. Pretty sure they can get to my house from Marz faster than a bunch of Northside places in the city limits.

watching the chicago fb groups and this bcbs ******** is only confirming every single chicago shitlord stereotype that I've ever heard

WTF?!
Metropolitan Brewing Fighting Eviction From Riverfront Taproom, Say Landlord Made Them Overpay For Years

What's the endgame here? Evict a good tenant and flip the property? It's not like it's a bustling space as-is - and I bet the list of potential tenants for 24k (or 33k) sq. ft is pretty damn short at the moment.

condos...its always ****in condos...the endgame of every parcel of property in chicago is condos

But that's a revitalized mixed-use property. I can't see it getting ripped down with the work already put in. The most that can come of a completely emptied space like that is a sign that says "Plan Your Next Event Here". This sounds like it's beyond working out unless a check is cut and then they still have to deal with the as-is lease. Hopefully with the current courts situation at least a stay can be granted of some kind.

Coffee Eugene in distro. My year is saved.

 

[lb304854]

BA DinoSmores - Good
Blueberry Socks - Exceptional. Wish I bought a lot more.

There's 3 roasters this year, check the bottom of the can to see which you got. The Curbside operation has six-packs where you get 3 Dark Matter & 3 Metropolis for what I think is a steal at 10 bucks: Coffee Eugene

The third roaster is Sip of Hope, all of which are shipped out into the market.

Are there regular-ass beer pickups during the the MG/DBVSOD/RTH windows? I got some of the latter but with Coffee out and still haven't grabbed any SJ yet, I feel I need to get other stuff. If I place another order, how does that work?

Honestly, I just got real lucky. I happened to be on a boring teleconference, browsing twitter when they put the sale up. Based on the Twitter "go" and some responses, it looks like 15 minutes?

You can place a second order, then pick up both this weekend.

You can pick them both up at the same time. Just tell them that you also have a curbside order in addition to your Deep Woods order when you pull up. They usually have to go inside to grab it, but it's a super easy pickup.

The last two releases have gone on sale around 8:30am so probably best to keep that in mind for January.

What is stopping you from drinking port and eating marshmallows? 2020 won't judge you.

 

[kodt]

Sounds like the 3 Floyd's Brewpub has gone from "indefinitely closed" to "permanently closed"

I'll miss it

Damn. I loved going there. Without sounding too dramatic, some "This used to be my Playground" feels right now.
