Cheers!

Hey! That my hometown brew! Great Lakes is sort of considered the grand old master of the microbreweries in this region; they started around 1988 (I actually googled it, but that was also my guess).
I have not tried their pumpkin ale this year.

Btw question for the Ohioans, do you guys know Hoppin' Frog brewery out of Akron? I ask because I never saw it when I was in Cleveland, but the American craft beer bar here has it quite regularly. Really makes you wonder what kind of distributor those guys have!

I don't think you made the mistake. I think I assumed wrong because I didn't know there were two breweries with such similar names:Parrothead wrote:My earlier mistake, it is brewed not by Great Lakes Breweries, but Toronto based Great Lakes Brewery. Cheers.
