Great Lakes, Zack Bruell team up for progressive beer dinner

Great Lakes Brewing Co. and award-winning chef Zack Bruell are teaming up for the inaugural Brew de Bruell Beer and Bites Bus Tour.

The progressive dinner, set for June 8, will feature Great Lakes beers paired with dishes at four of Bruell's Cleveland restaurants: Table 45, Parallax, Cowell & Hubbard, L’Albatros. Guests will be transported to each location on a private, chartered bus, with Great Lakes brewer Luke Purcell and Bruell talking about the beer and food at each stop.

“For some time now, Cleveland has been a premier food and beer destination,” Bruell said in a prepared statement. “The city was recognized earlier this year by a leading national travel publication as the number one beer city in America. To help celebrate this accolade, Great Lakes Brewing Co. and I decided to join forces and start a progressive beer dinner tradition for the city.”

Tickets are $65, plus tax and tip. All guests will receive a Great Lakes pint glass and bottle opener, and will be entered for a chance to win tickets to the Indians game on July 7. All Brew de Bruell attendees have the option to enjoy a discounted room rate at the InterContinental Hotel Cleveland after the beer dinner.
