CHICAGO — For the 6th year running, Revolution Brewing’s Galaxy-Hero IPA blasts onto the scene as the official beer of the Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo (C2E2). C2E2 2018, organized by ReedPop, will take place on Friday, April 6 through Sunday, April 8 at the McCormick Place. Chicago’s largest independent brewery will return to C2E2 as the official beer sponsor and participating vendor, bringing an array of comic-inspired merchandise, including the newest issue of the Galaxy-Hero comic book series. Revolution will also host a panel discussion on the brewery’s origin and the expansion of their League of Heroes on Friday, April 6 at 7:45pm.
To build on their love of beer innovations and comic art, Revolution will be releasing Double Dry-Hopped Galaxy-Hero on draft and in 6-packs at their Tap Room and Brewpub on Friday, March 9th. The special edition, supercharged version of Galaxy-Hero features two rounds of dry-hops instead of one, each containing double the hops of Galaxy-Hero.

About Galaxy-Hero:
Galaxy-Hero shoots a raygun blast of Galaxy hops into your mouth, leaving a crisp, dry finish. The use of the Australian hop variety infuses the IPA with tropical fruit and citrus flavors and aromas. As the original disciple of Anti-Hero, Chicago’s #1 selling IPA, Galaxy-Hero was the first member of Revolution’s popular Hero Series of rotating specialty IPAs, which focus on a single hop or flavor profile. Outside of C2E2 2018, Galaxy-Hero is available on draft and in 6-packs of 12oz cans throughout Revolution Brewing’s entire distribution footprint.
