USA, OH: Great Lakes Brewing and Market Garden Brewery to release collaborative beer

Great Lakes Brewing Co. and Market Garden Brewery are merging forces for a collaborative effort, cleveland.com reported on April, 23.

Market Garden has developed an ESB called "2", while Great Lakes is crafting an altbier called "5". The brewers then merged parts of both recipes for "25th Street Pale Ale".

ESB means Extra Special Bitter, a British style that is not overly hoppy or alcoholic. Altbier is German in origin ("alt" means "old"), maltier and fairly low in alcohol.

The 25 is significant for both the street cutting through the area - West 25th - as well as the anniversary Great Lakes is marking this year.

The beers will be available on draft Friday, May 10.
