Revolution Brewing, located in Avondale, proudly stands as Illinois's largest independently owned brewery. Since its founding in 2010, the brewery has been committed to positively impacting the community, and its partnerships with local organizations typically materialize organically through the passionate involvement of its employees.

A unique aspect of Revolution Brewery’s community support is its creative approach to creating beers tied to specific local causes. By releasing beers that highlight local nonprofit organizations' stories, they not only raise awareness but generate funds for worthy causes.

GWTP’s partnership with Revolution Brewing began when they decided to re-introduce their first-ever created beer, aptly named “Working Man.” Revolution Brewing saw the relaunch of this beer as an opportunity to forge a new alliance with a nonprofit that truly resonated with their values. This is when Revolution Brewing contacted GWTP because “we’ve all gotten unhealthy messaging about how the traditional college path is the only path to a fulfilling career,” said Revolution Brewing Director of Communications, John Carruthers. Whereas GWTP’s nontraditional educational and economic empowerment demonstrates “you can have a productive and healthy career without following the traditional gameplan,” added Carruthers.

Furthermore, GWTP’s commitment to breaking down barriers to employment and making opportunities accessible to everyone strongly aligned with Revolution Brewing’s worker-focused branding, social impact priorities, and desire to promote the value of healthy, fulfilling careers.

As the landscape on Chicago’s West Side continues to evolve, Revolution Brewing remains steadfast in its mission to drive positive change through authentic partnerships and community-driven initiatives. Through its support of GWTP, Revolution Brewing has provided vital resources to help folks in securing stable jobs, proving their commitment to making a lasting impact in the community.
