Extra! Extra! Today only, Great Lakes Brewing Company will offer “Shoreway Shutdown Sandy” in direct response to the Twitter hullabaloo over Cleveland’s traffic fiasco this morning.
Via GLCB Communications Assistant Marissa DeSantis:
This cocktail is mixed with equal parts of Great Lakes Brewing Company’s The Wright Pils and lemonade. $5, today only. Like you, we were amazed by Cleveland’s overwhelming number of traffic-themed Tweets this morning. Hopefully people will find a break in traffic and make it to our patio to enjoy this beer cocktail today!
We’re delighted to say that our coverage of the Social Media ire inspired GLBC’s drink special. Don’t ever tell us that journalism can’t make a difference!
Here’s the Tweet that changed the world:
Stuck in traffic on Detroit Avenue, I think that if @GLBC_Cleveland can do Blackout Stout, it can make Shoreway Shutdown Shandy happen.

Now get to the patio and start your weekend properly.

Equal parts ? How’bout just a splash ? It should be beer w/lemonade hints, not beer flavored lemonade.
Shandy, not Sandy!
Nice work, Mike Butz, nice work.
