December Regional Brewery & Burger
Available in December
(starting December 4th)

Brewery: Great Lakes Brewing
Origin: Cleveland, Ohio
Burger: Great Lakes Christmas Ale Smashburger

Story:  In 1988, Great Lakes Brewing Company (GLBC) was founded by brothers Pat and Dan Conway, marking GLBC as Ohio’s first independent craft brewery. In just two short years after opening its doors, Dortmunder Gold Lager won GLBC its first Gold Medal at the 1990 Great American Beer Festival. Two years later, one of the greatest Christmas Ales to hit the market makes its debut: Great Lakes Christmas Ale! Now, 33 years later, the Christmas Ale will find its way to Bitter Pops’ Kitchen to help craft our delicious Christmas Ale Smashburger!

Great Lakes Christmas Ale Smashburger: We start with two fresh Bitter Pops all-beef smash patties, smashed and grilled to crispy perfection. These patties are topped with melty, double-cream Brie cheese. From there, we top everything with our House-Made Great Lakes Christmas Ale “pepper jelly” inspired relish that is then served on our famous toasted potato bun! One bite of this sweet and spicy holiday burger will transport you right to the North Pole! Best to get one before Santa smashes them all!

The Great Lakes Christmas Ale Smashburger debuts Thursday, December 4th. We’ll be partying with Great Lakes, who will have some glassware and swag available. So swing by and grab a burger and enjoy some Advent Beers on tap along with $8 Pints of select Great Lakes Brews!
