Revolution Brewing was a microbrewery in Paonia, Colorado.[1][2][3][4][5]

Revolution Brewing was founded in 2008 by Mike and Gretchen King and was owned by local community members. Originally the brewery used a 3/4-barrel brewing system. Later it used a six-barrel system. Some of the beer was sold in a tasting room down the street from the brewery, some was available on tap at local restaurants, and some was distributed in cans.[6] The beer was not filtered or pasteurized. It was made with water from nearby Mount Lamborn.[7] In 2018 the brewery was bought out by the Paonia United Brewing Company.[8]
