Thing we apparently have to say: a public health emergency, unprecedented in our lifetimes, led to the closure of the Pub until (hopefully) early 2021. Not the Governor, Mayor, or whomever else. Take the political stuff way down the road and wear a damn mask.

Buying the Kedzie Ave. building that houses the brewery has been a long-tenured item on our wish list. And today that dream finally came to reality. So we bought a building and did a ceremonial lease-burning. Proudly brewed ONLY in Chicago. Now and for the future.

Almost 15 years ago, we threw open the doors of our Milwaukee Ave brewpub and launched Revolution Brewing to the world. Today that chapter of our story starts to wind down. revbrew.com/news/brewpub-ann…

Now that Chance the Snapper has been successfully captured, we’ll be saluting his bitey outlaw spirit with his own Rev beer. Humboldt Gator will debut July 31 - it’s a pineapple coconut Wit for those who like underdog reptiles and getting lost in the rain.

This is a pretty good way to get us to stop doing draft variants. Love the enthusiasm but this risks our license. So, you know, don’t.

This is a monumental loss to the Chicago beer community. Metro made some of the finest beers in or outside of Chicago. Drink local and support your favorite indie breweries. It's tough out there.

We are longtime fans of @dontdrinkbeer, and devastated to see the fight he's going through. 100% of sales of Life Jacket (a beer whose name would never have existed without Alex) will go to support his treatment and his family through the end of the month.

Starting today, we'll again be requiring all customers over the age of two to wear masks at the Taproom and Brewpub. If you show up without a mask, we'll have one ready for you. They can be removed when eating/drinking. Thanks in advance for your understanding and support.

Good morning, Chicagoland and friends from other lands. Yesterday was a tough one and your words of support went a long way. Let's go out, get this Friday, and end the day with big dumb beers and bad slasher movies.

Today's partnership with the @ChicagoFire is a long time coming. This brewery is full of soccer fans, and we're big fans of beer, rhythmic chanting, excessive celebration, and this fine city. The continual running is the only dicey part, and we only have to watch that on TV.

An unfortunate list of issues with our Oktoberfest this year:

So in terms of explaining this for the less-online (that's a compliment, not a pejorative), someone we won't link to opined that no one likes the person reading a book solo at a bar. That's, with all due deference, garbage.

Want to support a great neighborhood tavern and send a message that this kind of shit doesn't fly in Chicago? Go grab a cold one at R Public House.
Nothing like a homophobic guy with a hammer yelling anti-gay slurs at customers and threatening them to shake up the night. WTF is wrong with people #hatehasnohomehere

As we make this extended closure, we are putting our pub employees on furlough while covering and maintaining their health benefits for the next four months. We sincerely hope to bring them back to work in March 2021, swing the doors open, and see people sitting at the bar.

New rule: next beer is for Hossa. We’re unwilling to negotiate on this.
Made a slight augmentation to this hockey card in 2012. It’s been on the fridge ever since. Today I’m happy to raise a glass to this First Ballot Hall of Famer. #Hossa

Rolling in like a pineapple thundercloud, Hazy-Hero is going to distribution this week. This is our newest Hazy IPA, and it's going to be a year-round addition to our lineup. It's a soft, fruit-forward taste of American hop supremacy.

Victor's one of the key people behind the Deep Wood Series beers you've enjoyed these past couple of years. We're moving him over to spend more time working on the barrel program. That's good news! We think you'll appreciate his work on Cuvée de Grâce.

Judging by our webstore traffic over the last couple of days, a large portion of People of the Cloth Twitter just found out about this hat.
Little did @revbrewchicago know they have a niche market: clergy.
On behalf of (in order) Rev. Torigan, Rev. Murawski, Rev. Kukuk, Rev. Stevens, myself, Rev. Briggs, Rev. Gage, Rev. Hoffman, & Rev. Neff, we love our new hats.

For those asking: the City's reopening steps have us encouraged for neighborhood restaurants and bars doing their best to continue during a tough time. We're not opening up either location for indoor service yet, and will continue curbside service at our Kedzie Ave. brewery.
