A Note from our Brewers:

Sometimes, being a brewer makes one feel like they’re living a couple of months ahead of everyone else. While everyone is trying their best to enjoy every last bit of summer that they can, brewers are preparing batches of beer to help warm you up when the cold weather is upon us. The sweet caramel-like aromas of our Oktoberfest Lager, aptly named Riverfest with fond memories of good times in the Flats, filled the air a few weeks ago, signaling the end of summer brewing for us brewers. That beer is ready to go for you all to enjoy!

A few short weeks later, the aromas have turned even sweeter, with a little spice for good measure. That’s right! We’re starting our first brews of our popular Winter Ale, 8 Crazy Nights! Cinnamon, Apples and Honey are the stars of this show. Admittedly, it’s a bit disappointing when you get to work and think that your coworkers are about to surprise you with a freshly baked apple pie, only to realize that is the liquid in the kettle that will soon be gracing our taps. I guess this is a time for taking the good with the bad. The end of a crazy summer is near, but here at Collision Bend and at breweries all over town, brewers are working hard to give us all something to look forward to! So, go ahead and squeeze out every last drop of Summer that you can. Enjoy some Lake Erie Sunset on the patio. Us brewers will make sure everything is ready for you!

Happy Hol….Just kidding!

Cheers!
