😇 Joe here, with something nice to say about Cleveland.
Flashback: My first reporting job was in Cleveland at The Plain Dealer.
After work, my coworkers and I developed a taste for Great Lakes Brewing Company's selection, especially the Christmas Ale and its fall seasonal cousin, Nosferatu.
State of play: GLBC beers are sold around here and I recently grabbed a six-pack of the double red IPA at my neighborhood party store for $13.99.
What to expect: Nosferatu packs a punch — its ABV is 8%.
The flavor is complex, almost like a cross between a malty Oktoberfest beer and an IPA.
It would pair well with red meats, potato chips or sitting at home while you hand out candy to trick-or-treaters.
