We’re teeing up a flavor-forward set of spring releases, including returning fruited brews, limited and barrel aged releases, and the new Great Lakes Mix Pack Variety 12-Pack.
Our fruited wheat line shifts from Cran Orange Wheat back to Strawberry Pineapple Wheat in March for its second season in 6-Pack cans and draft. The sweet and quenching Strawberry Pineapple Wheat will be available through September, when we swap Cran Orange Wheat back in its place.
Seasonal favorite Mexican Lager with Lime returns in 6-Pack cans, 12-Pack cans, and draft in April for an extended season. Brewed with real lime peel and purée, Mexican Lager with Lime has become a quickly growing seasonal brand since entering our portfolio in 2020.
New Great Lakes Mix Pack replaces our rotating Gimme Five! 15-Pack. The spring and summer edition of the new variety 12-Pack features three of each: Cold Rush Premium Light Lager, Strawberry Pineapple Wheat, Midwest IPA, and Eliot Ness Amber Lager. Mix Pack’s design and contents will change with the seasons.
Return of the Lake Erie Monster Double IPA… returns! Following Chillwave Double IPA’s January release, Return of the Lake Erie Monster Double IPA strikes once again in Double Feature IPA Series 6-Packs and draft in April. The 9.5% cult classic is brewed with a mix of Apollo, Willamette, Idaho 7, Simcoe, and Azacca hops.
New Bourbon Barrel Imperial Porter joins our barrel-aged series in March. The limited release 12.5% bourbon-barrel aged porter rolls out throughout our distribution footprint in 16 oz. Can 4-Packs for a limited time. In April, legacy offering and cult classic Blackout Stout Imperial Stout returns for a limited time in 12 oz. bottle 4-Packs. The 9.9% rich and robust Imperial Stout is named after the infamous 2003 blackout that left much of the Northeastern U.S. in the dark.
Our seasonal portfolio continues to rotate and expand, as new releases like Midwest Hazy IPA and Cold Rush Premium Light Lager offer fresh ways for customers to enjoy GLBC year-round.
