New Year New Beers At Great Lakes Brewing

Great Lakes Brewing, which has been crafting serious beer in Ohio for 35 years, is keeping things interesting in 2023 with a number of new additions and a couple of BIG suprises.

In March the Cleveland, Ohio brewery is releasing Vibacious a massive 9.1% ABV India Pale Ale brewed with Apollo, Cashmere and Citra hops. It’s Great Lakes’ first ever year-round Double IPA and even better it will be available in 2023 in uber-gracious 19.2oz

To celebrate Great Lakes’ 5th anniversary in August, the brewery will also be releasing its beloved Dortmunder Gold in special retro-bottle, as well as an Imperial Amber inspired by Eliot Ness Amber Lager in September.

But that’s just the beginning of what they’ve planned…
