The Rev Brew Crew will be heading to Denver for Great American Beer Fest 2018! Below is our pour list:

MEET THE BREWER BOOTH

  • Anti-Hero — 6.7% ABV // 65 IBUs — An American hop assault featuring a blend of four hop varieties (Centennial, Amarillo, Chinook, Citra, Crystal) creating a crisp bitterness and imparting massive floral and citrus aromas.
  • Fist City (Competition Category 59 American-style Pale Ale) — 5.5% ABV // 40 IBUs — A supremely drinkable Chicago Pale Ale with hints of citrus and grapefruit notes with a solid malt backbone to smooth the light bite of hops. 2 lbs/Bbl dry hop consisting of Cascade, Citra, Centennial, and Crystal
  • Rev Pils (Competition Category 35b American-style Pilsener: Contemporary American-style Pilsener) — 5.2% ABV // 40 IBUs — A traditional German pilsner, but dry hopped.. German hops (Select & Saphir), malts (Weyermann Pilsner, CaraFoam, & Munich) and our classic Bavarian lager yeast (Wyeast) produce a crisp, clean beer with slightly spiced, earthy aromas.
  • Freedom of Speach (Competition Category 24 Fruited American-style Sour Ale) — 4.5% ABV // 7 IBUs — Our easy-drinking Session Sour demonstrates a clean tartness, balanced out by an assembly of ripe peach flavor. Exercise your right to refreshment. Kettle-soured with a blend of lactobacillus strains, fermented with our house ale strain.
  • Straight Jacket (Competition Category 28 Wood- & Barrel-Aged Strong Beer) — 13.1% ABV // 55 IBUs — Our Institutionalized Barleywine Aged in Bourbon Barrels. Deep aromas and flavors of dark stone fruits, bourbon, molasses, toasted coconut and vanilla come in waves. 

FESTIVAL BOOTH — BOOTH #30

  • Deth By Cherries 2017 - 13.1% ABV // 27 IBUs — Unfermented tart cherries add mild acidity and subtly rounded sweetness to our Deth’s Tar Barrel-Aged Imperial Oatmeal Stout. Flavors and aromas of bourbon and oak meld harmoniously with the fruit for a balanced experience. 
  • Double Dry-Hopped Citra-Hero — 7.5% ABV // 75 IBUs — A powered-up version of Citra-Hero featuring more tropical citrus character, Kohatu hops from New Zealand, and flaked oats for a smooth mouthfeel. Over 5 lbs/Bbl dry hop.
  • Freedom of Press (Competition Category 24 Fruited American-style Sour Ale) — 3.9% ABV // 10 IBUs — Our latest take on the Freedom session sour series uses black currants that bring sweet, earthy berry flavors and dark fruit character to complete a fresh take on this easy-drinking ale. Kettle-soured with a blend of two lactobacillus strains and fermented with our house ale strain.
  • Ghost Ride (Competition Category 53 German-style Koelsch) — 4.7% ABV // 25 IBUs — A month-long lagering period keeps our dry, light-bodied Kolsch smooth and lightly fruity. Crisp, cracker-like malt character finishes with a dry, effervescent snap.
  • Jukebox-Hero (Competition Category 76 American-style Black Ale) — 7.8% ABV // 75 IBUs — Our Black IPA is bursting with crisp, clean bitterness and layers of wonderful American hop character shining against a roasted malt backdrop.

CASKMATES BOOTH — Booth #174

  • Jamo-nilla — 14.0% ABV — This Nitro Imperial Stout with vanilla, made in collaboration with Jameson Irish Whiskey, was aged 4 months in whiskey barrels. Silky mouthfeel from the nitrogen complements the sweetness and complexities from a plethora of dark malts and whole vanilla beans.

BUFFALO WILD WINGS BOOTH — Booth #166

  • Double Dry-Hopped Citra-Hero - 7.5% ABV // 75 IBUs — A powered-up version of Citra-Hero featuring more tropical citrus character, Kohatu hops from New Zealand, and flaked oats for a smooth mouthfeel. Over 5 lbs/Bbl dry hop.
  • Cafe Deth 2017 - 14.8% ABV // 27 IBUs — A weaponized quantity of freshly roasted whole bean coffee from Gaslight & Dark Matter coffee roasters imbues our Deth’s Tar Barrel-Aged Imperial Oatmeal Stout with assertive coffee aromatics without overshadowing the base beer on the palate. Pair with rich food or enjoy on its own.
