League of Heroes IPA variety packs combine the leadership of Anti-Hero, Chicago’s #1 IPA, with three of his best recruits. Each 12-pack includes at least one innovative hero making their first appearance, along with the return of previous favorites from our rotating Hero Series 6‑packs. Each issue of the League of Heroes contains 4 specialty IPAs, 3 cans of each, allowing the opportunity to experience and compare unique hop flavors andprofiles. Approximately 3 times per year, a new issue will be released with a fresh team of heroes to enjoy.
Issue 4 gives flight to Centennial-Hero, a new IPA inspired by the Centennial of our beloved Logan Square Monument, built in 1918 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Illinois’ statehood. The historical landmark is proudly topped by an eagle in reference to the Flag of Illinois and serves as the centerpiece of our Logan Square neighborhood. Centennial hops create fresh citrus and earthy characteristics, which impart the IPA with a lemony aroma followed by a deep bitterness, making it a perfect Hero to pair with hot, summer days.
Anti-Hero, Citra-Hero, and Mosaic-Hero are joining Centennial-Hero in battle, making Issue 4 the most star-studded pack to date. Each member of the League of Heroes is canned within days of each other, with the born-on-date of the oldest can stamped on the box. The team at Revolution Brewing works diligently to package the Leagues of Heroes multiple times per month, ensuring maximum levels of freshness at our retail partners.
The latest chapter of the IPA Variety Pack series will be landing on retailer shelves beginning the week of May 14th and are currently available in the Revolution Tap Room on Kedzie Ave. Issue 4 will continue to be packaged regularly throughout the entire Summer.

About the Heroes:
Centennial-Hero
India Pale Ale
This new IPA gives flight to Centennial, the Lord of the “C” hops, allowing the fresh citrus and earthy characteristics to soar.
Alc. by vol. – 7%
Bitterness - 70 IBUs
Citra-Hero®
India Pale Ale
Citra-Hero® is an elegant American IPA designed to showcase the Citra® hop. This IPA is exploding with citrusy flavors and aromas.
We utilized 2-row, Pale Ale, Red Wheat and Belgian Aromatic malts to provide a deep golden color and clean malt profile for this hoppy ale. Multiple additions of Citra® in the brew kettle infuse this beer with deep layers of citrus aroma and flavor and a clean, crisp yet intense bitterness. After primary fermentation with our English Ale Yeast we dry-hopped with one pound per barrel of Citra® once again to really load this ale up with a burst of fresh citrus fruit.
Weighing in at 7.5% ABV this ale is sturdy enough to hold up to the higher bitterness level but is still quite sessionable and exploding with fresh hop character!

Mosaic-Hero
India Pale Ale
The namesake hop summons a lush monsoon of pineapple, mango, and papaya flavor to wash over a lightly toasted body. The perfect tropical storm wraps up a light touch of pine for balance.
Alc. by vol. – 7.5%
Anti-Hero®
India Pale Ale
Anti-Hero combines five classic U.S. hop varieties to marshal an uncompromising hop bomb with bold citrus, floral, and pine aromas. Flavor notes of grapefruit, lemon candy, and orange marmalade set the board for bracing bitterness that provides a reset for the next aromatic sip.
This uncompromising leader has stood the test of time and commands the title of #1 selling IPA in Illinois today. An emblematic and intrepid choice for those ambivalent protagonists who always come through in the end.
