UPDATED: Lighthouse launches second annual beer tour
UPDATED: The Lighthouse Bar & Grill at the Harbor Inn in suburban Akron will hold a special beer tasting at 6 p.m. Sept. 13 featuring Octoberfest-style brews. Representatives from Great Lakes Brewing Co., Thirsty Dog Brewing Co., Hoppin' Frog Brewery and Goose Island Beer Co. are scheduled to participate. The cost is $20 and people will be able to sample 15 different beers. The tasting is the official start of the "Portage Lakes Beer Tour" -- which is similar to the Winking Lizard World Tour of Beers but on a much smaller scale. The Portage Lakes tour requires craft beer lovers to finish a total of 65 beers from a pre-selected list from September through March. But, there's a catch. Those beers must be drank between Sunday and Thursday. If you complete the tour, you receive a fleece jacket. Owner Steve Burroughs describes himself as a beer snob and thought that creating the tour would be fun. "I want to build a beer following," he said. The Lighthouse offers 101 different beers. Why September through March? Well, that's the slow time of year for the bar, which is right on the Portage Lakes. Last year, 10 people completed the tour. Burroughs hopes to at least double that amount this year.
