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!

Drunk 9/15/2023.
Clear, dark amber. Small, light-tan head.
Great barrel with big vanilla, black pepper and soft bourbon spice. Sweet, succulent, caramel malts. Very English with an American bourbon character giving it a big jolt. No booze noted.
Soft, juicy, fruity with big vanilla and marshmallow-graced caramel and toffee. Succulent, juicy, soft. At this point there's still pepper, lead, spice, mild barrel tannin to balance. But no alcohol. Could use a bit more dryness in the overall balance, but the flavor is dry, earthy, fruity, crusty, bready and juicy.

Panda thanks to Cloin. Near clear dark brown beer, small bubbly tan head. Smooth palate, relatively light for the abv, decent fine carbonation. Light bodied dark malts but smooth and rich, a little unsweet dark chocolate and cream. Smooth rich coffee goes very well with the malt cream. Some alcohol spice on the fairly light finish. Rich and rewarding, splendid coffee vibe.

$2 can from chalet. Pour is crystal clear orange tinted pale. Nose is mild sweet hop perfume. First big swig is really heavy bitter booze. Barely any co2 and its a mouth coating mixture of diesel, pine tar sap and old real rubber inner tube. Think about an out of control rototiller plowing across yer tongue. A big, terribly on style, imperial IPA mess. Way too much for my girlie macro lager loven taste buds. Triple imperial IPA ish mish raw blah. Somebody please get me an ice cold light macro lager for a chaser. Near the end I'm not sure if the acrid taste or the alky content is making me get dizzy, whew. Maybe its both. There you have it.

Can from House Of Trembling Madness. Clear amber body with a thin off-white head. Steady carbonation. Patchy lacing. Aroma of caramel and stewed orange. Flavour of caramel, pine and stewed tea. Thin to medium body with a slick texture. Soft fizz. A solid but pretty basic IPA.

Can big thanks to my bro. It pours clear deep rich red - brown with a decent bubbly khaki head. The aroma is slick, oily, heady booze, vanilla, whiskey fudge, Scottish tablet, molasses, dried fruits and berries, jammy, tangy, malt loaf, fruit loaf, caramac, toasty malts, splash of red wine, chocolate and a touch of spice. The taste is slick, oily, toothy, chewy, bitter - sweet, loads of dried dark fruits and berries, raisin, cherry, sultana, fig, warming booze, vinous, jammy vibes, whiskey fudge, toffee, Scottish tablet, vanilla, touch of toasty coconut, malt loaf, treacle tart and dull tannin with a slick, warming finale. Full body and average carbonation.. Lovely depth of flavour and balance. Revolution are the US bosses of high abv.
