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 @ home, courtesy of TheAlum. Thanks Adam! Pours a clear, golden yellow appearance with a frothy, cream colored head. Resiny, potent yet soft grapefruit citrus hoppy, lightly toasted malty aroma. Refreshingly citrusy, grapefruity, sweet toasted malty, somewhat piney flavor with a mildly bitter, hoppy kick on the finish. Nice stuff that I wish I could have more often.

Can @ home, thanks to TheAlum. Pours a hazy, somewhat cloudy, yellow appearance with a bubbly, off white head. Fairly spicy yeasty, sweet wheat, light lemon/orange citrusy, coriander, straw aroma. Very refreshing, somewhat dry wheat, lemon, spicy yeasty flavor. Very easy to drink and a fine witbier. I would love to get blasted on this shit.

Picked up a bomber at the TJ’s on a trip to Chicago. Currently drinking in a hotel room, stamped 03.20.12. Poured into an Old Wooly snifter I picked at Big Time in Seattle. Pours nicely with a clear golden color, small head, and clear. Looks just like I want my golden ales to look. The beer is good, clean earthy noble hops present. Clean and hoppy beer but a little too sweet for me. I like the individual parts more than the final product.

Dark with a deep brown head. Aroma is dark malts, chocolate, lightly roasted malt, earthy hops. Medium bodied. Flavor has mild sweet chocolate, roasted malt, earth, some molasses. Didn’t notice the 7% alcohol in this one. Real nice porter and one I’m glad I have the rest of a six pack to finish.
