AKRON, Ohio - Bars, restaurants and breweries tie in big games and drink specials all the time. But Hoppin' Frog Brewery has planned a unique discount for the NBA Finals.
A "king's discount" of 23 percent will be given on all food during Finals games - the percentage based, of course, on LeBron James' jersey number.
The brewery also will be pouring Cavs-inspired blonde ale King Gose Home, an imperial version of the old German beer style. (It's pronounced "GOZ-uh.") The ale was brewed originally several years ago to celebrate Akron native LeBron James returning to Cleveland from Miami.
The best-of-seven series schedule (* if necessary):
