The Eliot Ness is a Vienna style lager - a lager that maintains crispness while at the same time allowing some darker malts to make their way in to the beer. (Sam Adams Boston Lager is the most widely known Vienna style lager in the US.) This particular lager is named after Eliot Ness, the famous leader of The Untouchables, and it is both ironic and fitting. While Ness spent much of his career enforcing prohibition, he was also well known to appreciate a libation or two. As if that weren't enough of a reason to put him on a bottle, the mother of the owners of Great Lakes was Eliot Ness's stenographer! What's that? How's the beer? It would make Eliot Ness proud, we think.

Tim and Cindie Travis have no jobs, no children, few bills to pay and get around everywhere on their bikes. For the past 7 years, the Prescott, Ariz., couple has cycled through 24 different countries on four different continents. This week, they were making their way through Central New York and stopped to be interviewed on the Erie Canal Path near Jordan while waiting out a rain storm. The couple -- he used to be a special education teacher, she worked as a geological consultant -- get by mainly with the proceeds from two, self-published books they've written about their travels and ad sales from their Web site, downtheroad.org . The Web site is constantly being updated with new entrees and to date boasts more than 20,000 photos of the couple's travels. "We always get to see something new every day," said Tim, 43. "It's like constantly being at a university. Every day is like a science fair or a field trip."

One of our "Great Lakes Brewing" series, we examine the Commodore Perry IPA. The beer celebrates an epic battle fought by Commodore Perry and his men on Lake Erie during the war of 1812. This IPA actually presents a nice malt nose, which doesn't necessarily accompany all IPAs, and that helps this beer along its journey to becoming an incredible beer. Wonderfully complex and balanced, yet still ending with a traditional IPA bitter, this beer scores quite high with both of us.

Ohio EPA Map of polluted Lake Erie in 1970sAcross America, the reputation of Lake Erie - especially in the 1960s and 1970s - was that of an extremely polluted and even dead lake. By all accounts, residents and officials have done a great job restoring Lake Erie - where fishing, boating and swimming are popular.

EPA/Bay City Times/Great Lakes Environmental Research Lab Photo--- In recent years, officials have been fighting the Zebra Muscle problem in Lake Erie. It's been a love/hate relationship as the muscles have done good and bad things to the lake. One goal of the pharmaceutical collection was to prevent medicine s from being discharged into Lake Erie and to make sure the drugs don't end up in other surrounding lakes and streams. Goal of medicine collection is to protect rivers, lakes and streams like Cascade Creek in Erie, PA Photo by Pat Noble, WikiProject Erie--- Many wastewater treatment plants around the world are not designed to remove the cocktail of chemicals after the drugs are flushed or dumped down the drain - and the drugs can leach out of landfills into the groundwater. Pictured above are Erie Police Dept. officers. Law enforcement officers are required by federal law at collections of controlled substances Students and pharmacists from the LECOM School of Pharmacy counted and sorted drugs during the medicine collection--- Some of the unsung heros at pharmaceuticals collections are the police and pharmacists - without whom the collections would not be possible. At all locations, including Erie, Law enforcement and pharmacists were on hand to accept the pharmaceuticals. Based on experience, organizers discovered the turnout was bigger when residents don't have to preregister. Of the 87 residents participating in the collection, 61 did not preregister. Sara Gris , Pennsylvania Sea Grant coastal outreach specialist (pictured above on the right; and Marti Martz, also a Pennsylvania Sea Grant coastal outreach specialist, and many others worked hard to make the collection a success. Over 70,000 pills were turned as Erie, PA area residents showed their love for Lake Erie by participating in the Keep Unwanted Medicine out of Lake Erie Medicine Collection Day--- And similar to the other collections, most Erie participants were older adults as 89 percent were over the age of 46.
