Episode 618 – Deepest Woodest

Two things are absolutely certain when it comes to Revolution’s yearly Deep Wood releases: one is that all the beers are going to be slightly varying levels of excellent, and the second is that we will find any excuse to drink them for the podcast. For this round of releases, a few old favorites return alongside the steadiest barleywine currently released, plus a new variant enters the fold as one of the best we’ve had yet. But also, we explore some surprising examples of the younger generation’s borrowed nostalgia; we enter the fantasy factory for future Deep Wood releases; and our spirits ignorance is showing. My hat is like a shark’s fin.
