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!

16oz can. Concept is fairly reasonable. Hand this one off to one of the pastry sour places and they could do it right. Rev sort of half asses it, like they do everything else that isn't 2 dollars an ounce. Pretty much a sugary cider. Not so bad, certainly not so good.

Can. Pours deep black with a medium tan head and good lacing. Aroma is spicy, cinnamon, fudge, bourbon, dark malts, amburana wood. Flavor is pretty sweet, light plus bitter. Full body, creamy mouthfeel. Man I love amburana aged impys.

Canned 12/30/25, drunk 3/26/26.
Definitely smell whatever this added "natural flavor" is right away. Candied grapefruit and sugar candies with caramelized sugar and somewhat artificial cherry. Does not inspire a lot of confidence or make me excited to take a sip, but at least there's no alcohol in the aroma. Oh, and no hops.
Tastes like a liquefied lollipop. What in the actual fuck, man?! Caramel, weird flavorings and almost no hops. No alcohol either, at least, but that's about the only positive thing I can say here. It's not even syrupy or cloying, it just has an intense candy-like flavor. Surprisingly lighter-bodied too. Super f-in weird (bad) stuff.

From Good Times Oakland, canned January 20th.

Pours a very dark brown with hues of red, off white head of foam, excellent retention and lacing.

The smell is chocolate, roasted malt, toffee, hints of a nutty character.

The taste is chocolate, roasted malt, some nutty notes, lactose, toffee.

Very nice mouthfeel, I would drink this again.

Can from Tavour. Pours clear dark brown with a large foamy tan head that persisted. Aroma of brandy and toffee. Med plus body. Malty and not at all dry. Heat helps balance the malt. A sweet treat. Kind of brandy/toffee/butterscotch.
