HOLY MOSES WHITE ALE AVAILABLE YEAR-ROUND, 6-PACK CANS INTRODUCED

CLEVELAND, OH Dec. 7, 2017—Great Lakes® Brewing Company (GLBC) announces a fresh lineup for its 30th year including the return of Holy Moses White Ale, two new seasonals, 6-Pack cans, and reimagined favorites.

HOLY MOSES WHITE ALE PLANTS ITS FLAG YEAR-ROUND

Holy Moses White Ale, named in honor of Cleveland founder Moses Cleveland, has long been a fan favorite with its signature blend of coriander, chamomile, & orange peel. This year it makes a triumphant return to 6-Packs, 12-Packs, and Draft year-round in all of GLBC’s distribution markets. Holy Moses WhiteAle’s new packaging sports reimagined label artwork by artist Darren Booth.

BURNING RIVER PALE ALE NOW ILLUMINATED BY LOCAL HOPS & MALT

Burning River Pale Ale was inspired by the Cuyahoga River Fire of 1969, which sparked a renewed interesting protecting our natural resources. Now the classic Pale Ale boasts even more local ties, incorporating regionally grown hops, & malt from Cleveland’s Haus Malts. Along with a refreshed recipe featuring regionally sourced ingredients, Burning River Pale Ale’s updated packaging is now highlighted with bright orange accents.

6-PACK 12 OZ. CANS AVAILABLE YEAR-ROUND, NEW SEASONAL MOONDOG ALE

In 2017 GLBC debuted cans in 12-Packs, including Turntable Pils and Lightkeeper Blonde Ale. In 2018 both beers return year-round in 6-Pack 12 oz. cans. Rally Drum Red Ale also returns in 12-Pack 16 oz. cans for a limited time starting in April. Moondog Ale, a smooth ale with an undomesticated hop bite—& a GLBC pub favorite—hits 12-Pack 16 oz. cans in fall, 2018.

GREAT LAKES VARIETY PACK NOW FEATURING COMMODORE PERRY IPA

GLBC’s popular Variety 12 Pack features an updated lineup. Dortmunder Gold Lager, Eliot Ness Amber Lager, and Edmund Fitzgerald Porter return, with Commodore Perry IPA replacing Burning River Pale Ale.

NEW BEERS FOR 2018:
