A RETRO CELEBRATION
Starting in August, customers throughout GLBC’s distribution footprint will find limited edition retro blue, gold, and white 6-Packs of Dortmunder Gold Lager bottles, featuring the original 6-Pack design and vintage logo from GLBC’s early distribution days.
A RETRO MERCH COLLECTION
Fans will find a limited series of “throwback” merchandise including a baseball cap, hoodie, jacket, stemmed glass, and more, starting August 4. The collection can be found now at GLBC’s onsite gift shop and at store.greatlakesbrewing.com/anniversary-collection.
