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.

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!

Enjoyed on tap at Revolution Brewery in Chicago, IL while eating dinner with some jabronies who I happen to be in a band with. Rated while watching Teen Wolf. Appearance a vibrant bright gold with thin white head that rims around the glass. Aroma of spices, coriander, wild yeast, very floral, stings the nostrils. Taste very floral and spicy, but smooth at the same time with decent carbonation. Wild yeast and spices are the prevalent ingredients, kind of sour in the finish. Really is pretty good.

Enjoyed on tap at Revolution Brewery in Chicago, IL while hanging out with my bandmates who offended our waitress within the first 30 seconds of sitting at our table. Appearance pitch black with tan head that rims around the glass. Aroma of roasted malts, chocolate, definitely nutty, very nice. Taste is very smooth and delicious, chocolatey in the front with nice burning sensation in the back end. Great profile and flavors, carbonation level is good, nice bitterness. Exceptionally good and solid.

Opaque black, steady beige s=rusted head. Mellow, sweet chocolate aroma. Big and chocolaty, with some molasses touches. A touch sugary, but quite well done and delicious. Coffee notes in the aftertaste. Quite robust, but still capturing the Porter style well.

On tap at Revolution. Deep amber-brown. Steady beige head, soapy. Astringent lemon-grapefruit hop aroma, very nice. Awesome citrus hop tones, with a smooth, creamy malt body. Quite an excellent IIPA, remains clean and drinkable while displaying an intense hoppiness. Exceptionally clean for the style.

5 oz mini nonic pint sample at the brewery in Chicago, Illinois. Pour is hazed copper orange with a smallish white head. Aroma is faint lemon citrus, floral hops and a touch of mild malt sweetness. Taste is the nose, for the most part - light citrus hops up front, floral and grass and the mild sweetness of the malt. In the back, there is a hint of rye, or crystal malt can’t really tell. Palate is light to medium bodied, soft natural carbonation, dry citrusy finish. Nice one.

5 oz mini nonic pint sample at the brewery in Chicago, Illinois. Pour is darker copper, clear with an off white head. Aroma is pretty faint, I get spice and floral, touch of dank but pretty subdued. Taste picks up with nice resin hop, some caramel malt, perhaps a hint of iced tea in the back. Palate is medium bodied, dry clean finish.

5 oz mini nonic pint sample at the brewery in Chicago, Illinois. Pour is clear golden with a limited white head. Coating lacing as the beer goes down. Aroma is delicate citrus hop along with some grass and toasted malt. Clean and pleasant nose. Taste has a nice bright orange citrus up front, along with the malt toastiness, finishing with a mineral note. Palate is light to medium bodied, active carbonation and a bit of a dirty finish. My kind of Golden Ale.

5 oz mini nonic pint sample at the brewery in Chicago, Illinois. Pour is fully hazed yellow greenish with a white head. Nice lacing. Aroma is fresh grain wheat, along with a soft floral aspect. Some lemongrass shows as it warms. Taste is really soft wheat up front, turning to a pleasant lemon citrus floral and finishing with more of the soft wheat graininess. The finish is slightly unclean, which is really the only detraction and its a small one at that. Palate is medium bodied, unfiltered mouth feel, crisp citrusy finish. Nicely executed wheat, really low on the spices which I prefer.

On tap at the brewpub. Poured a cloudy brown head with a brown head that dissipated to the edges. Aroma had a combination of chocolate, roasted malts and rye with just a bit of molasses. Flavor started with roasted malts and rye with a bit of chocolate balancing the finish.
