Last month, we told you that Great Lakes would be launching in Northern Virginia. We know you’ve been waiting with bated breath over this development, and now we’re bringing you all of the (very many) details about next week’s launch!

The official Great Lakes Northern Virginia Launch Party will take place on Monday, February 27th at 6 PM at both Rustico locations. These are located at 827 Slaters Lane Alexandria, VA; 703-224-5051 and 4075 Wilson Blvd. Arlington, VA 22203. The Rusticos will simultaneously debut all five of Great Lakes year-round offerings including Edmund Fitzgerald Porter, Eliot Ness Vienna Lager, Dortmunder Gold Lager, Commodore Perry IPA, and Burning River Pale Ale. The brewers will be in attendance to celebrate the occasion will be handing out glassware and other swag. There is no admission for these events and all Great Lakes drafts will be priced individually by the glass and in 4 oz. tasting pours.

But wait! There’s more. Many more, in fact. Click on the links below for more information about each event!
