The Cleveland Indians are coming to town to face the Phillies this week and they’re brining Great Lakes Brewing with them. That might not be exactly true, but the Sidecar Bar is capitalizing on the Indians rare trip to Philadelphia, by throwing a beer event tomorrow, May 14th. Great Lakes, which might be the best thing that’s come out of Cleveland since Calvin and Hobbes or John D. Rockefeller will be taking over the taps and even the brewer is showing up to the Graduate Hospital bar.
We have such respect for Great Lakes Brewing we’re even going to refrain from taking a cheap-shot at the city of Cleveland. And trust us, that takes some self-control.
