Revolution Brewing

I love the words “newly opened brewery”. If you are in the Chicago area look up this Goose Island alum.

Here is their beer list…
Cross of Gold
An american blonde ale that redefines the style with bursts of fruity aroma and a dry finish.

Iron Fist Pale Ale
An amber pale ale dry hopped with a blend of American hops.

Workingman Mild Ale
Drinkable brown session beer with a nutty, toffee flavor. Served lightly carbonated from a traditional Brittish handpump.

Bottom Up White Ale
Light, refreshing wheat beer spiced with coriander and orange peel

Widmer Cherry Oak Dopplebock

As I have mentioned before, I am a sucker for special reserve series beers. Plus I am already a Widmer fan. So this is right up my alley.
Cherry Oak Doppelbock is a rich ale, cold-fermented with dark sweet and red tart cherries, then conditioned on new, heavily toasted American oak. The result is a dark lustrous brew with up-front malty sweetness and cherry fruit notes completed by caramel, dark chocolate, and toasted oak undertones. The complex flavor profile balances the impressive 9% ABV and 40 IBUs.
