Went back again and they're starting to roll out more beers on the firkin and also had stronger beers available. Revolution is really progressing nicely. The service can be a bit hit or miss, but it's very busy. The burger I had was cooked really well and I think it's a better bet than the pizza.

I was fortunate enough to make a return visit to Revolution Brewing with the Chicago Pizza Club and this time sampled some of their food. CPC’s assessment of the pizza is dead-on. The pizza is somewhere between the kind you eat with your hands or with a knife and fork. The interior crust just doesn’t have the structural integrity to hold the toppings, making a spill down the front of your shirt a distinct possibility. The sausage pizza was far superior, making me wish we’d ordered another variety for our second tasting. Let me second the saltiness of the duck pizza—could barely get off my wedding ring the next morning salty. And it wasn’t just the duck. A little goat cheese goes a long way and this pizza went a bit too far.

The beers I tried on my first visit were definitely superior to my second, though the IPA and Workingman Mild (Engllish luncheon beer) were not bad. The IPA seems like its playing it safe, trying to appeal to the widest possible audience. The mild was flavorful and lightly carbonated, a very nice accompaniment to the food. That said, I can’t wait to try their next batch of beer. The look and atmosphere of this place are both very appealing.
