Jeremy Warren is widely admired for his mastery of hops, especially with his signature beer style, India pale ale. In 2012, Knee Deep Brewing Co. left Warren’s garage in Sparks, Nevada, and exploded onto the scene when the brewery’s Hoptologist won the prestigious Bistro Double IPA competition in Hayward, California, besting the legendary Pliny the Elder, among others. In 2015, Warren left everyone knee deep in tears when he departed the brewery. In March 2017, he and his head brewer, Jeb Taylor, opened Revision Brewing Company back in Sparks, Nevada. The brewery took a gold medal win for Revision IPA in the American India Pale Ale Category and DIPA won the silver medal in the Imperial India Pale Ale category at the 2018 World Beer Cup awards. Today, Peaks & Pints presents a flight of Revision hoppy and barrel-aged beers — a flight we call Peaks and Pints Pilot Program: Revision Beer Flight.
Peaks and Pints Pilot Program: Revision Beer Flight
Revision Tahoe 330
6% ABV
Given the great depth of Lake Tahoe, and the locations of the normal faults in the deepest portions of the lake, modeling suggests that earthquakes on these faults can trigger tsunamis. Wave heights of these tsunamis are predicted to be on the order of 10 to 33 ft in height, capable of traversing the lake in just a few minutes. A massive collapse of the western edge of the basin that formed McKinney Bay around 50,000 years ago is thought to have generated a tsunami with a height approaching 330 feet. Revision’s Tahoe 330 is a highly crushable beer teetering on the line between Pale Ale and IPA. Enjoy this Citra and Mosaic bomb of ripe tropical fruit notes, with lingering aromas of fresh orange and mango and a subtle yet complex malt backbone before the wave hits.
Revision Kitty Has Claws
7% ABV
Sandwiched between the sessionable Tahoe 330 and the imperial IPA Creative Alternatives in this revision flight, Kitty Has Claws is a New England-style IPA brewed with Strata for a bright and fruity aroma with a hint of dankness..
Revision Creative Alternatives
8.2% ABV
Revision’s Creative Alternatives is a hazy imperial IPA brewed with some extra special specialty malts and many, many heaping handfuls of Mosaic and Strata hops for flavor and aroma notes of papaya and passionfruit.
Revision Pour Decisions
11% ABV
Revision made a good decision to pour Mosaic, Vic Secret, and Amarillo hops into their Pour Decisions triple IPA. On the nose, we get assertive dank lupulin resin, melon, candied lemon, pine, orange rind, and mango, followed by a dank blast then a wave of citrus tropical, which carries into the finish with some resinous qualities.
Revision Dr. Lupulin 3x
11.3% ABV, 133 IBU
Dr. Lupulin swept the board at USA Beer Ratings 2021. It was awarded as Best In The Show By Country, Beer Of The Year, and Best Beer By Packaging. In addition, Revision Brewing Company has been awarded with Brewery Of The Year. When you visit the good Dr. Lupulin you’ll notice it’s somewhat of an anomaly brewed with loads of hops but is not too bitter. A high ABV brew that is easy drinking without excessive alcohol heat. Is that mango having a pleasant conversation with dank? Yep. The experiment to create beer perfection is alive.
Revision Coconut Pie Face
11.7% ABV
Peaks & Pints dreams of gooey, vanilla-flecked, rum-kissed coconut custard and massive pom-poms of whipped cream, topped off with a shower of toasted coconut flakes and curls of white chocolate. Apparently, Revision Brewing also dreams of coconut cream pie, although their dream is a reality as their Coconut Pie Face offers mountains of freshly-toasted coconut, loads of cacao nibs and thousands of Madagascar vanilla beans on top of a rich imperial stout base.
Revision Barrel-Aged Depths of Desire
15% ABV
From the depths of hand-selected bourbon barrels comes Revision’s Barrel-Aged Depths of Desire imperial stout rich in dark chocolate character and oak staves. Notes of brown sugar and black licorice give way to a smooth coffee-like finish, making for an intensely mellow experience.
