The Cooler from Cleveland will represent the 216, 440 and 330 well.
From the 216, the award-winning Great Lakes Brewing Company will be represented by its Commodore Perry IPA. Also, Buckeye Brewing from Cleveland will show in the Cooler with its Hippie IPA, Cleveland Beer Week Black IPA and its Zatex 2010 Imperial Stout.
From the outskirts of C-Town in the 440, Old 21 Imperial IPA and Four C's IPA will nest in the Cooler courtesy of Brew Kettle in Strongsville.
Finally, getting back to where my NTN play all began in their now-defunct brewpub back in 2000, Thirsty Dog Brewing Company of Akron's Old Leghumper Porter will make an appearance.
My liver politely requests that I not consume all of these delicacies myself, so I'm happy to share. Traffic and weather willing, I should be at the Morgan by 3:30 and at the Page by 4:30.
I think we'll be rolling in around 4ish on friday afternoon. check in and then let the swilling begin. I'll have all manner of brews with me as well for the after-trivia festivities. Probably bring at least 12-16 with me including a couple Christmas Ales, which you're more than welcome to bigdog. Probably been a little while since you had one of those anyway. lol. Some Conways and Burning River for sure. Maybe even a Thirsty Dog Siberian Night and GLBC Nosferatu for good measure. I still have a small cache of Nosferatu and Blackout as well. With those being so high test, they keep alot longer so I like to stock up.
I must say that this bash is definitely coming at a good time. I need it. This week has pretty much sucked between work and this shitty weather we've been dealing with. Thunderstorms and High Winds every damn day, flood warnings too. Weather-wise, it should be very nice this weekend and definitely beautiful for saturday.
