Dave said that the night was a huge success. They quickly reached capacity and eventually had a line extending 70 yards up Connecticut Avenue reaching the Sun Trust Bank at Dupont Circle. By the end of the night they had drained 7 kegs and pleased hordes of new and long-time Great Lakes Brewing Co. fans. Did you attend this tapping? What did you think?

Being a transplant to the area from Cleveland, I always had to fill my trunk with Great Lakes for the return trip. Having it at stores and even at my local bars will be a huge treat.

I look forward to attending Monday night at the Big Hunt. Hooray for the new best-beer-in-DC! Yay, Cleveland’s favorite export (now that most of our industrial capacity was lost to Communist China).
