This World Champion Won’t Leave Cleveland!

GLBC brews limited release, pub exclusive “Quitness”

July 13, 2010--CLEVELAND, OHIO--Great Lakes Brewing Company (GLBC), the award-winning craft brewer of lagers and ales and recipient of multiple world champion titles, announces the limited release of its new pub exclusive “Quitness”.  “Quitness”, named for obvious reasons given the recent “Decision”, is a cask conditioned, dry hopped India Pale Ale that is sure to be as bitter as the mood of Cleveland these days!  “Connecting to our city, our fans and our community has made Great Lakes Brewing Company what it is today.  Making lemonade out of lemons comes naturally as evidenced by some of our other beers like the Burning River Pale Ale and Blackout Stout.  Rest assured Cleveland – GLBC isn’t going anywhere and we will continue to win world [beer] championships,” comments Patrick Conway, co-owner of GLBC.

“Quitness” is slated for GLBC training camp (the Brewpub that is) starting at 4:00 PM on Wednesday, July 14, 2010 until Saturday, July 17, 2010 (while supplies last).  This IPA will be drawn from a firkin and only available in the GLBC Brewpub located across from the West Side Market on Market Avenue in Cleveland (sorry, no growlers).  “Quitness” will inevitably come and go, so be sure to be there for the home opener!

The release of “Quitness” will be announced on GLBC’s website (www.greatlakesbrewing.com), Facebook page (www.facebook.com/greatlakesbrewingco) and via Twitter (www.twitter.com/GLBC_Cleveland).

Oh boy... It's another girl.

It was not even a question this morning. It's definitely another girl. While I miss out on having a little boy (for now), if the next one is anything like Jaya, I'll be a proud papa of two girls. I'm happy the girls will have each other too.

No name ideas yet. Lincolnia? So very kidding.

Lebron

Dearest Hurst.

I wept for you, Hilary and Miss Maddie when Lebron announced he was Miami bound. One of my favorite memories is riding on a train into Downtown Cleveland during a playoff night and Clevelanders getting on at every stop with Cavs jersey's saying "Rise Up" to each other. Made me realize that Cleveland was a pretty cool city.

And now I realize it's really close!! I'll figure out some time off and let's hang out! Brewery tour?

Stranger than Fiction

If you ever considered professional eating, you might want to look into the complex political and social dysfunction of the Major League Eating world.

There's a lot of weird people out there.
