The largest independent craft brewery in Illinois will distribute its products through Peerless Beverage Company, Kramer Beverage, and Shore Point Distributing Company. Distribution in New Jersey will begin the week of May 1.
“At Revolution, we brew a bunch of hoppy beers that people enjoy drinking, as well as some tasty seasonals.” said Jim Cibak, Revolution’s head brewer. “We are really excited to be shipping kegs and cans of fresh Rev Brew from Chicago to the great state of New Jersey.”
The Garden State can expect to see a variety of Revolution beers, including Anti-Hero IPA, the brewery’s flagship India pale ale; Sun Crusher, a hoppy wheat ale that is its new seasonal; 1ZENUFF, its imperial IPA; the League of Heroes IPA variety pack; and the Deep Wood Series of barrel-aged beer, among many other unique brews.

About Peerless Beverage Company:
Peerless is a third generation family owned business since 1933. It all began at the height of The Great Depression. Prohibition was being replaced and the sale of beer made legal. Charles Salzman was selling Near Beer and Seltzer; while Jake Beim was bottling Crescent Soda. These two young immigrants realized there was an opportunity to sell beer and began doing so. Forward, thirty years later to 1963 their sons Rich Salzman and Norm Beim would merge their two companies to create Peerless Beverage Company. As Peerless heads into its 84th year, the third generation leadership is now led by Scott Beim and Chuck Salzman. Today Peerless Beverage Company is housed in a 250,000 square feet state-of-the-are warehouse space, selling more than 8 million cases of some of the beer market’s biggest brands.
