Mark Hunger, Great Lakes Brewmaster adds, “What’s most important to me is making sure the quality and taste of any beer we put our name on is what our customers expect. We’re very excited about what this means for our products and customers and we’re excited to be working with Harpoon to make this happen.” So the opportunity to work in partnership with them is the right initial step in our can strategy. We have great respect for the Harpoon organization and feel our values, culture, and commitment to great beer fit very well together.

Great Lakes has been in the process of expanding its home base in Cleveland for some time, making moves since 2013 to upgrade its brewhouse automation, labeler, tank farm and water deaeration. is launching a few of its beers in can packaging for the first time, and it’s doing it through a cool partnership.

A cold can of beer is the perfect complement to outdoor-loving cooks, campers, sporting-types and general explorers. They are literally crushable - especially in the summer.
