Great Lakes Brewing Co. (GLBC) celebrates 35 years of independent craft brewing with a series of releases, events, and merchandise. In its 35th year GLBC celebrates its legacy as an employee-owned top 20 American craft brewery.
A SPECIAL BEER FOR 35 YEARS
Celebrating in style, GLBC will release a limited edition Barrel Aged Imperial Amber. Inspired by Eliot Ness Amber Lager, one of the brewery’s two original recipes, the 12.1% beer is aged in Bulleit® Bourbon barrels and releases in foil-stamped 4-Pack Bottles throughout GLBC’s footprint beginning September 11, just after the brewery’s official anniversary on September 6.
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 at GLBC’s onsite gift shop and at store.greatlakesbrewing.com/anniversary-collection. Fans will have a chance to win pieces from the collection via the brewery’s #glbcsummer social media contest during the month of August.
