Great Lakes Eliot Ness Amber Lager Craft Beer, 12 fl oz Bottles, 6 pack, 6.1% ABV

Admittedly, it’s a bit of a paradox to name our Amber Lager for history’s most famous agentof prohibition. But it’s a smooth, malty (and dare we say, arresting?) paradox. The Eliot Ness Amber Lager is named after “one of Cleveland’s most respected safety directors, who frequented the Brewpub’s bar during his tenure from 1935-1941 and, according to popular legend, was responsible for the bullet holes in the bar still evident today. Margaret Conway, the mother of [Great Lakes Brewing Company] owners Patrick and Daniel Conway, worked with Ness as his stenographer.” If this claim is true, then historians and brewers alike can breath a sigh of relief, knowing that the man was just doing his job: Eliot Ness enjoyed a night at the pub just like the next guy.
