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!

An appropriate glass, since Moor's Brewing won this year's Brewing the American Dream dream with Sam Adams. The pour is a very slightly hazy gold color, with a white puffy head that settles down quickly, leaving a little lace around the edge. The nose does have some of that slightly peppery hop note, that I think I can recognize as a Polish hop. Light pilsner taste, with those property hops kind of taking the place of bitterness. Some perfumey or flowery taste, that can sometimes come from a fresh pilsner. Besides grilling today, I've also been mowing the lawn, so this is a fine lawn mower beer to finish up with. With just enough difference to make it interesting.

From HoTM it pours slightly hazy deep golden - yellow with a decent white cap. The aroma is slick, oily, very sweet, tinned fruit cocktail, fruit syrup, tinned mango, peach, white sugar and candy. The taste of slick, oily, sticky, quite raw, punch, very boozy, raw alcohol, tinned fruits, peach, mango, sugary, fruit syrup and heavy sweetness with a slick, boozy finale. Full body, average carbonation and sticky mouth feel. Pretty rough around the edges and not what I've come to expect from Revolution.

Can (10/4/24) from Andover Classic Wines. Opaque, dark brown, light sparkle, fizzy head with poor retention, no lacing. Aroma is strong bourbon, earthy roasted malt, oak, toffee, nuts, coffee. Taste is strong coffee, bourbon, dark fruit, vanilla. Smooth texture, soft carbonation, some alcohol heat, finish as taste. Phenomenal aroma. Taste doesn't quite live up to it.

Smells of tropical fruit and resinous hops. It tastes of mango, orange, piney hops, and a big, sweet, malt body. 10% abv is mostly buried. It’s juicy and with the high abv prominently displayed too I’ve got to think this beer is intended to compete with New Belgium’s “juice m/fruit force” beers. I liked it in spite of myself.
