"I think a true sports town needs a great local beer, and Great Lakes Brewing has delivered since brothers Patrick and Daniel Conway tapped their first keg in 1988. Still independent and employee-owned, the Ohio City brewery is known for its seasonal Christmas Ale (available only about 10 weeks a year, with fans lining up around the block on release day), as well as staples like the cinnamon-spiced seasonal ale, the crisp Dortmunder Gold, and the low-cal Cold Rush — sampling a flight here makes for the perfect pre- or post-game experience." - Wendy Pramik
