Market Garden and Destination Cleveland Release Cleveland Light Lager

Market Garden Brewery and Destination Cleveland joined forces to create Cleveland Lager, a light, clean unfiltered lager intended as a tribute to the city and a go to beer for everyday drinking. The collaboration launched on December 26, 2025, and ties a straightforward drinking experience to a civic purpose by directing a portion of sales to Destination Cleveland's tourism and economic development efforts.

The release comes with a Cleveland Variety 12 pack that mixes the new Cleveland Light Lager with three established Market Garden beers. The lineup pairs the lager with Prosperity Wheat, Hang Loose Hazy IPA, and Yuzu Citrus Lager, offering a range of styles for households and gatherings that want a local sampler. Presenting the new lager alongside Market Garden staples helps introduce the beer to customers who know the brand, while giving newcomers an easy entry point to the brewery's broader portfolio.

Retail availability began with the launch and Market Garden signaled that broader retail and on premise distribution would follow in the coming weeks. That staged rollout means drinkers can expect to find the Cleveland Light Lager first through brewery channels and then at bars, restaurants, and stores across the region as inventory expands. For brewers and retailers, the beer offers a reliable, low complexity offering that fits seasonal menus and mixed packs.

The charitable component links beer sales to local promotion and economic development, funneling funds to Destination Cleveland to support marketing and visitor attraction efforts. That civic tie in turns routine purchases into community support, which matters for venues planning hospitality events and for consumers who prioritize local impact when choosing beer.

For Cleveland drinkers the release is practical and timely, delivering a simple lager for everyday occasions while expanding Market Garden's retail options. Expect to see the Cleveland Light Lager more widely available through January as distribution ramps up, and look for the Cleveland Variety 12 pack to appear where mixed packs and local selections are sold.
