Second Great Lakes-themed bar opening at Akron-Canton Airport

The Akron-Canton Airport will soon feature not one, but two Great Lakes Brewing Co.-themed bar/restaurants.

The airport, located in Green between Akron and Canton, announced that a second Great Lakes-themed site will open Saturday (Jan. 24) in the lower level gate hold area. The bar/ restaurant will be operated by MSE Branded Foods of Atlanta and is located near the American/ U.S. Airways and Delta Air Lines gates.

"We love featuring successful local brands at CAK," President and CEO Rick McQueen said in a prepared statement. "Great Lakes products are very popular with our customers, so we are very excited about opening this second location in our lower level gate concourse. I’d like to thank Great Lakes and MSE for serving our customers with high-quality food and beverage options. It makes CAK a better way to go."

Jack Hough, president and chief executive officer of MSE Branded Foods, said: “Our first Great Lakes Brewing location in the Southwest Airlines gate concourse is very popular, so we wanted to extend that experience to Delta and American/ US Airways customers, too.”

The menu will feature breakfast, lunch and dinner dishes, including breakfast burritos, smoked sausage croissants, garden spring rolls, prepared salads, 100 percent ground beef burgers and pizza. The bar will offer a rotating selection of Great Lakes draft beers such as Dortmunder Gold, Burning River, Eliot Ness, Commodore Perry IPA, and Edmund Fitzgerald. Domestic/imported beers and wine also will be available.

There's also a Great Lakes-affiliated bar at the Cleveland Hopkins International Airport.
