Fall Fan Favorites Return:
Seasonal favorite Oktoberfest returns to all distribution markets in August, in 6-Pack Cans, 12-Pack Cans, 6-Pack Bottles, 12-Pack Bottles, and Draft. The award-winning brew, which received a 94 Beer Connoisseur rating, will also be served on tap at Cleveland Oktoberfest where GLBC returns as the Official Craft Beer Sponsor.

Our fruited wheat line once again transitions from current Strawberry Pineapple Wheat to the autumnal Cran Orange Wheat in 6-Packs and Draft. The 5% fruited ale begins its extended season beginning in September, with a fall-friendly flavor profile and award-winning packaging design.
