Deth’s Tar 2021 | Revolution Brewing

Leaves are changing colors. Some days (not all) are a bit chilly. There’s less sunlight during the day. Must be time for Revolution’s Deep Wood beers!

Revolution really nailed it this past year with their Deep Wood releases. The online ordering and pickup process might be the best in the city, they crowlered off their party-specific one-offs and sold them online, and, oh yeah, they released what could arguably be the best Deep Wood lineup ever. And it all starts with the barrel-aged oatmeal stout, Deth’s Tar.

Deconstructed Dessert Mocha Pie | Third Space

Third Space Brewing, at least for me, has become a must stop whenever I go to or through Milwaukee. They brew a range of styles and almost all hit their intended mark. Things like Happy Place and Unite the Clans win awards and are sold at Brewers’ games. Their stouts, on the other hand, currently sit at a .333 batting average with me, with only Mystic Knot being a home run. (The other two being Double Barrel Nexus and Haunted Barrel 2019.) I’m hopeful their Deconstructed Dessert Mocha Pie can get that batting average to .500.
