Great Lakes Brews
« on: September 10, 2013, 04:23:24 PM »
I'm originally from Ohio and recently traveled "home" for a wedding...brought back a few sixers of this stuff and have been enjoying the Commodore Perry IPA the most.  Also have some Burning River Pale Ale and the Seasonal Oktoberfest.  All good beers if you get a chance to try them.

Seems like I recall that they have a good stout or was it a porter?

Yes, they sure do...the Edmund Fitgerald Porter.  I was planning on picking that up, but ended up going with the Octoberfest since it isn't always available.

That's funny...I guess the beer and the song are named after the same thing, the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgeral on Lake Superior.

Another useless piece of Great Lakes Beer knowledge - their Burning River Pale Ale is named after the infamous fire on the Cuyahoga River near Cleveland...the river was so polluted that it actually caught on fire...only in Cleveland :)

It caught on fire more than once. But several other rivers have also caught on fire.

PS my aunt has a polaroid of EF taken in the early 70's from near the Soo. She remembers hearing the organ music.
