Revolution Brewing 'Cold Time' Premium Lager Beer is an all-malt lager made from just four ingredients: fresh Great Lakes water, Midwest two-row barley, Mexican lager yeast, and a touch of German hops. Brewed low and slow before spending a minimum of four weeks cold in tank, it applies Revolution's craft-brewing focus to an intentionally uncomplicated, easy-drinking lager while retaining brewery-fresh, never-pasteurized character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFounder:\u003c\/strong\u003e Josh Deth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrewmaster:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jim Cibak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e Great Lakes water, Midwest two-row barley, Mexican lager yeast, and German hops\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMalt:\u003c\/strong\u003e Midwest two-row barley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHops:\u003c\/strong\u003e German hops\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYeast:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mexican lager yeast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLagering:\u003c\/strong\u003e Minimum four weeks cold in tank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePasteurization:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unpasteurized\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.8%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIBU:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAvailability:\u003c\/strong\u003e Year-round\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSensory Description:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBright and clean in profile, with gentle grain and malt character framed by a restrained touch of hops. The palate is light and crisp, with the two-row barley providing enough flavor and texture to give the beer definition without compromising its easy-drinking character. Low bitterness and an extended period of cold conditioning contribute to a mellow, composed profile, finishing dry, refreshing, and exceptionally clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAwards \u0026amp; Accolades:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2024 World Beer Championships:\u003c\/strong\u003e 92 Points, Gold Medal, Best American Style Lager\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrewer's Background:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRevolution Brewing grew from founder Josh Deth's experience in Chicago's brewing community, beginning with work at Golden Prairie Brewing and later at Goose Island before the Revolution brewpub opened in 2010. Its production brewery followed in 2012, establishing the foundation for an independently owned Chicago brewery producing a broad range of ales, lagers, and barrel-aged beers. Brewmaster Jim Cibak has played a central role in the brewery's production program. Introduced broadly in 2024, Cold Time brought that experience to the familiar American lager format, emphasizing all-malt ingredients, patient cold conditioning, and freshness rather than adjuncts or abbreviated production. Its success subsequently provided the foundation for Revolution's expanded Cold Time family of lagers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eServing Suggestions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServe well chilled at approximately 4 to 7 degrees Celsius in a pilsner, lager, or traditional pint glass. Its crisp profile and restrained bitterness make it particularly versatile with food, pairing well with burgers, bratwurst, fried chicken, pizza, tacos, grilled sausages, fish and chips, or salty snacks. It is equally suited to drinking on its own when a clean, refreshing, uncomplicated lager is called for.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crooked Stave Artisans (CSA)","offers":[{"title":"Single 12oz Can","offer_id":67585826160695,"sku":null,"price":2.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6-Pack 12oz Cans","offer_id":67585826193463,"sku":null,"price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2699\/1632\/files\/Revolution_Brewing_Cold_Time_Premium_Lager_Beer_Illinois.png?v=1791342400","url":"https:\/\/www.winedispensary.com\/products\/revolution-brewing-cold-time-premium-lager-beer-illinois","provider":"Wine Dispensary","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
