Episode 119 – Great Lakes Dortmunder Gold

We end our journey with Great Lakes Brewing Company with their original – and flagship – brew. Once called “The Heisman” and now lovingly referred to as Dortmunder Gold, this is a unique lager style beer from the Dortmund region of Germany. Since 1990, this beer has won 14 Gold and 1 Silver medal from the Great American Beer Fest and World Beer Championships. Is it worth the gold it’s been receiving? Oh, oh my yes.

    Almost full disclosure. How much beer did they give you? Can't wait to try it. Maybe I can find it at the big ass liquor store. A couple more and you could be 2drunks on beer and a shot. Making me thirsty!
    On a side note, I'm getting a little tired of your theme music. That silly song sticks with me for about two beers. Then I do a shot and it's gone buttttt, just sayin
