Description
Illinois' largest independent craft brewery. Brewed in the heart of Chicago.

The change in the U.S. beer scene has undoubtedly been revolutionary. We are proud of what we have accomplished in our short time to become a leader and innovator in the industry. The evolving tastes of beer drinkers has demanded bigger flavors, more variety, and better beer. That’s exactly what we give you at Revolution Brewing. Between our brewery and our brewpub, we produce dozens of different beer styles every year. IPAs, porters, pilsners, Belgian-style ales, pale ales, barrel-aged beers — the list goes on!

Our brewery has been a labor of love. You can see it in everything we do, from the beautiful details of our mahogany bar at the brewpub, to the massive beauty of our eight 800 barrel fermenters at the brewery, to the commitment to quality in each beer that we put in a can or a keg. Revolution believes in the value of hard work. We work hard to provide great, accessible brews for everyday people. We have fun doing what we do and hope you have fun drinking our beers!

Can. Clear deep amber brown beer, a good bubbly tan head but, doesn't last. Smooth palate, a very mild viscosity, good superfine minerally carbonation. Smooth malts, a nice creamy sweetness run through with toffee and caramel that never gets too sweet. Some rye tang. Super duper Apple Brandy barreling. Some brandy spice and smooth rich ripe apple with sub notes of other ripe fruits. Smooth spicy finish brings everything together in a glorious finish. These Revolution barleywines are feckin expensive by the time they hit the shores of Blighty but, feck me, it's a price worth paying if you love barleywines.

12oz can. Transparent dulled orange-tan body. Steady, soapy, white head. The hops come off a little more vegetal than bitter. A pleasant enough Pale Lager, but doesn't nail it.
