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 7:45 p.m.
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 9. 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. Double Dry-Hopped Galaxy-Hero 6-packs will be distributed widely across Revolution’s footprint, in addition to availability at their Tap Room and Brewpub.
The build-up to C2E2 will continue when Revolution hosts their annual Cosplay Party at the Tap Room on Friday, March 16th from 6-10 p.m. The night will include beer, comic and art vendors, a Cosplay contest, and a chance to win C2E2 3-day passes.
There’s something magical about stepping into costume and embodying a character from the pages of a comic book or the vast universe of Star Wars. Cosplay isn’t just about wearing a mask or a cape—it’s about bringing stories to life, celebrating the heroes (and villains) that have shaped our imaginations. Whether it’s a perfectly detailed Iron Man suit, a Jedi’s flowing robes, or a Sith Lord’s menacing armor, the thrill of transformation is what makes events like cosplay parties and conventions so electric. It’s a chance to become, even for a night, the larger-than-life legends we grew up admiring, surrounded by others who share the same passion for creativity and adventure.
Of course, no hero is complete without their signature weapon, and for Star Wars fans, nothing elevates a costume quite like a high-quality saber from Theory Sabers. More than just a glowing blade, these sabers bring an authenticity that makes a Jedi or Sith cosplay truly stand out. The hum of an ignited saber, the clash of a friendly duel, or even just the way it catches the light in a dimly lit taproom adds that extra spark of cinematic magic. Because in the end, cosplay isn’t just about looking the part—it’s about feeling like you’ve stepped straight into the world of your favorite stories, if only for an evening.
Revolution will share additional updates & events surrounding their partnership with C2E2 on their website.
