Hey Chris, I like the Dortmunder Gold also. Just about any beer I've had chance to try from Great Lakes Brewing has been enjoyable and well put together. Probably my favorite so far has been the Great Lakes Blackout Stout (an imperial stout). I think it's only available early spring maybe Feb/March if memory serves. An excellent brewery I hope to have chance to visit someday.

I found out about the Conway's being seasonal last night--oddly enough from the guy working at one of the wineries who is also a certified beer judge.

We did get the Commodore Perry as well as the Holy Moses White Ale and both were really nice.

Chris, I should have mentioned — the Conway’s Irish is a seasonal, only available Jan.-Mar. The Commodore Perry IPA is a nice IPA, which I believe is a year-round brew now. GLBC’s website describes their brews and, for the seasonals, when they are available. There are several available only in the pub, too — which has very good food as well as very good beer.

I had the Burning River last night and it was good. I’ll see if I can pick up the Irish when we’re back to civilization later today

Thanks for the tip!

Good choice, Chris. As a former Clevelander, I know well the GLBC offerings and love most of them. Burning River Pale Ale and Conway’s Irish Ale are my favorites. Though it isn’t distributed where I am now (NC), I buy a case of it whenever I drive back from Ohio.
