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!

Taste: very fruity start, grapefruit, citrus, lemony, pretty bitter, bit piny. Aftertaste: more citrus, passion fruit, pineapple, bit sweet, crispy and fruity hops on a honey malt base. Lovely beer.

Bottle - thanks much to jlanning215! Pours clear chestnut with a small tan head that slowly dissipates leaving decent lacing. Aroma is toffee, rum, molasses. Flavor is quite strong rum overlying rich malty toffee and molasses. Woody notes prominent, along with some astringence. Medium sweet, light bitter. Strong warming finish - this is really an ABV forward beer. Nice, but would actually prefer to have the barrel pulled back just a bit.

On tap @ Mikkeller Bar. It's light blurry in the glass, deep honey red in the glass and it has a big lacing off-white head. The nose is sweet caramel and fruit sweet with both orange zest, c-vitamin and a mild grassyness. Smells nice. Scary easy to drink, the most scary double ipa I can remember when it some to light drinkability. It's seriously like drinking a some sort of melon juice. Really gliding mouthfeel with a comfortable carbonation level. Fruity, lots of melon, not even a hint of the alcohol and it's leaving a hoppy and grassy taste on the tongue.

On tap @ Mikkeller Bar. This is a light cloudy soft honey golden one with a small sidesticking white top. Some wheat on the nose, a little bit of pepper corns and coriander. Mild, gentle and nice. Above average on the carbonation and light oily on the mouthfeel. Lots of white pepper in the taste. Wheat, more fresh coriander and some sweetness. Tasty, easy drinking. One hand rating outside Mikkeller Bar. 03.05.2013

On tap @ Mikkeller Bar. Cloudy deep orange almost bronze in the glass with a small eventually fading just off-white top. Not extreme on the nose but some fruitiness shines through the emptiness. A bit of farm with some leafs and strawberry gel,. Lively carbo, oily mouthfeel. It's dry, almost grape-dry actually. Some white vine, melon zest, cantaloupe, yeast, really astringent finish. Not allmightyquenchable, but more in the alright genre. One hand rating outside Mikkeller Bar. 03.05.2013

Bomber. And man was I excited to find another Galaxy hopped beer! Love ’em. Pours a nice orange with a slight haziness and a decent head. Aromas are oranges. Not quite the passionfruit punch I was hoping for. First sip is awesome, but it seems to get weaker as I go. As it warms it becomes a little less clean and the orange- flavor hops come through and decrease the passionfruit I soooo love. It’s a good beer, but I would have liked to see it be all galaxy all the time.

Bomber thanks to Dallas. Pours a deep black color with a small beige head. Huge nose of cocoa, milky chocolates and vanilla. The flavor is great: sweet milky chocolate, roast, dry barrel, vanilla, finishes clean and very tasty.

Draft at Churchkey with Megan sitting next to me, but she’s talking to someone else, so I’m sneaking this one in. Clear bright golden color, fluffy white head. Aroma of nice fruit and perfume with just a touch of scallions. Taste is bitter grass, fruit. Very nice.
