At the end of the run of Bleacher Bums, one of the ensemble/extras bestowed upon everyone involved with the show a very unique gift: a bottle of home brewed beer.
Portenlänger's Bleacher Bums Old Style Lager is the creation of John Portenlanger who, though he had no lines in the play, was a valuable resource for Cubs trivia and factoids, as well as a consistent occupier of space on stage. He also printed up replicas of the cover of an authentic program from the 1998 Cubs season for everyone on stage to use, as that's the year this updated version takes place.
The beer is very tasty, perhaps a little too heavily carbonated, and hearty. John warned everyone that this brew was a bit more potent than a regular beer, and OH, Is he right! Halfway through this buzz I had a pretty good beer going on!
Thank you, John!
