Driving the news: Great Lakes Brewing Co.'s annual Christmas Ale in July event will be Thursday, July 25, at the Ohio City brewpub.
Why it matters: Christmas Ale is GLBC's most popular seasonal beer, but it won't be released for sale until late October.
This midyear one-off batch will be available until the kegs are tapped, and a limited amount of 2023 Barrel-Aged Christmas Ale 4-Packs will be available for purchase in the GLBC gift shop
