Thanks to you wonderful people, the barrel season never ends around here. Here's what we'll be rolling out from Oct… https://t.co/1nZt57mlvm

@revbrewchicago

We've always wanted to brew in Chicago. And while the "brew" part is kind of a given, it's the "in Chicago" we want to talk about a little more. There's no other place Revolution could have happened, and there isn't a single place we'd rather be.⁠
⁠
This is a great American city. It also constantly balances hope and joy with inequality and despair. We see the best and worst of what people can achieve, and we have since the first permanent settlements went up. Chicago is a story of people getting knocked down viciously and rising back up to achieve bigger and brighter heights. ⁠It's the old saw about tough times and tough people, written again and again over the generations.⁠
⁠
We're proud to brew for you every day, using pure Lake Michigan water.⁠

We're digging through an office fridge full of beer, trying hard to find a can of fizzy water or a pop. Real Twilight Zone moment here.

Something about the Twins coming to town has us thinking Sun Crusher. Grab a cold Summer Ale on the way to your seat. Frankly, we love these odds.

Looks like we’ll have all three variants pouring at the Taproom and noon. Let’s go get the last day of this release. You’ve all been great!

@revbrewchicago

We don't know about you folks, but @droooone is ready to start. So let's run through how this is gonna work. This is our first in-person release in a good while. ⁠
⁠
- The Taproom is 21+ only during the release. We'll be checking IDs at the door.⁠
⁠
- Pickups for preordered four-packs are OUTSIDE ONLY all weekend until 7 p..m. You will not be able to pick up in the Taproom. After 7, all pickups will take place inside the Taproom.⁠
⁠
- While we'll have our curbside pickups running, picking up on foot is no problem. If you're joining us inside for some pours, just grab yours on the way home. ⁠
⁠
- We can hold orders for up to ten days, so if you have a last-minute issue, don't worry. We've got your beer.⁠
⁠
- If you've got a Saturday or Sunday, pickup, please do your best to stick to your pickup dates and times. We won't be able to process everyone trying to pick up today in the efficient manner we pride ourselves on. ⁠
⁠
- This release is not cash only, but we highly, highly, highly encourage cash transactions for speed of service. Unlike some of our past releases, there will not be an ATM onsite this weekend. ⁠
⁠
- As a reminder, both the Taproom and the Revolution Brewing - Brewpub will have V.S.O.J., Strawberry Jacket, and Supermassive Café Deth on tap. But only the Taproom will have the draft variants.⁠
⁠
- We've got some great food vendors lined up – @cafetola on Friday, @nicebunsfood on Saturday, and KTM Momo on Sunday. ⁠
⁠
This being the first in-person release since January 2020, we're anticipating a whole bunch of people. And that's fantastic. But please give our incredible and hardworking team a little extra kindness today -- they're all going to be working their hardest to bring you delicious beers and a fun time. ⁠
⁠
We'll see you later today, and we're probably even more excited than you are. Thanks for all the hype since V.S.O.J. batch 1. This is where we earn it. ⁠

Good morning to everyone who is wondering if the draft variants made it to Saturday.(They did.)

@revbrewchicago

Our friends at @shorelinesightseeing have a boatload of Rev beer and a view you can't get anywhere else. Join us for a Brews Cruise on July 23 for cold brews, paired appetizers, and 90 minutes of pure summer.

It's almost time, so we have some ground rules for you.[1/dunno, probably several] https://t.co/gJsHuKpoJe

@revbrewchicago

We're happy to welcome our new Brewery Planning Manager, Emily, who just started today after coming over from our friends at @temperancebeer. And as you can see, she picked quite a week to start. ⁠
⁠
V.S.O.J., along with Strawberry Jacket and Supermassive Café Deth, go live for preorders tomorrow morning (before you ask, we don't publish the exact time). Pickups start this Friday, along with the in-person release component we have missed so dearly during these past several months. (Years? Feels like years.)⁠
⁠
As part of this release, we'll also have three superior draft variants available at the Taproom. Behold:⁠
⁠
UNMITIGATED AUDACITY (17.3%)⁠
⁠
The last two Weller Special Reserve casks of Double Barrel V.S.O.D. get the Supermassive Café treatment with over ten-pounds-per-barrel of Freshly Roasted Dark Matter cocoa-fermented coffee ... just because.⁠
⁠
X.O.J. (16.3%)⁠
⁠
Batch 1539 has been a component in each iteration of V.S.O.J. since its inception on draft in 2017. Experience now its lean, lumber-laden swan song -- a full five years in the making. Subtly hazy with American oak tannin and fully-oxidized, evaporatively-concentrated malt sugars, this may be the most boldly flavourful English Barleywine we've ever produced. Goodnight, sweet prince. ⁠
⁠
Boss V.S.O.J. – (13.3%)⁠
⁠
Two and a half years after filling these WhistlePig Boss Hog Calvados finishing barrels with sweet component Barleywine they've reemerged with mind-bending oaky nuances and a silky, mature malt structure the likes of which we've not hereto seen.⁠
⁠
Doors at noon. We missed this part mightily.

#revbrewchicago

Jul 16

Happy V.S.O.J. day. Hope you're all having a very large and nutritious breakfast. Doors open at noon at both of our locations.
