Put Winter To Bed With This Hoppy Warm Weather Brew

By Sponsor in Food on May 17, 2017 5:00AM

Revolution Brewing, Illinois’ largest independent craft brewery, released their newest seasonal this spring. The spring seasonal, Sun Crusher, is a crushable ale to celebrate the end of winter and rejoice the coming of warm weather.

The American Wheat Ale is brewed with Apollo and Amarillo hops, with a dry-hop blend of Crystal, Amarillo, and Mosaic, resulting in a mellow bitterness and pronounced flowery aroma. Flaked Oats with a malt blend of 2-row, Red Wheat, and Carapils, create a light golden color and a smooth silky mouthfeel in this brew.

Fun fact: the name Sun Crusher was inspired by the solar panels that were installed on the roof of the Kedzie Tap Room and Production Facility in the fall of 2016. The 60.32 KW system offsets almost 70,000 kWh of electricity and over 50 tons of CO2 annually. The Solar Energy System is consisted of over 200 modules.

The Hoppy Wheat Ale is available at Revolution’s brewpub in Logan Square, Revolution’s Tap Room in Avondale, and on draft and at retailers around town until the brewery’s summer seasonal, Rosa, takes its place.

Enjoy a perfect brew to crush on a warm Chicago spring day!
