During depression years, the Granville brothers of Springfield, Massachusetts built some of the most famous race planes in history. Their Sportster aircraft won many races, setting speed records that gained the aircraft fame as the fastest in the world.
In 1931, with Jimmy Doolittle as pilot, the Gee Bee Model Z won the prestigious Thompson Trophy race in Cleveland, setting a speed record of 296 mph.
None of the original Gee Bee Sportster Series survives, though several flying replicas keep memories alive.

Blonde Ale offers a high-performance adventure in drinking. The variety of
Yakima hops carefully balances the brew like a tight, fast turn around a pylon.
The smooth and creamy ale flavor is experienced on the long straightaway.
