Damn good smoked wings and black bean cakes. Their house beers are good, especially the White Rajah IPA and Old 21 DIPA. They have great guest drafts most of the times I visit here and the staff are friendly most of the time.

Probably the best beer bar I’ve visited in the Cleveland area so far. Very vibrant atmosphere for a Tuesday night. They just expanded so they have a sizable dining area plus a very long bar. They have almost 30 taps with their own craft beer mixed in with other craft brews. You can also brew your own beer in the back. The wings were also very tasty. I’ll definitely go back.

Great brewpub outside Cleveland. It was certainly very busy on the Thursday night I visited. Got a table by the bar, but waited a little bit for service. This is mostly a beer bar. Although they do brew their own beer, they have like 4-5 taps of house brews, and say 25 guest taps. Nonetheless, it’s worth it to seek out their house brews. I found the White Rajah and Red Eye PA very good, also got to try the 4 C’s on firkin. The guest beers were all American I believe, plenty of different styles and interesting selections (though I didn’t get any, there were many I wanted to try). As far as the food menu, it was pretty basic. Got some pulled pork nachos which were quite tasty, especially the pork. A fun place, lots of beer paraphernalia on the walls, a few TVs. Worth it to stop here.

An interesting place. Large and leading into the brew your own. Everyone knew their beer, the bartenders who pointed out maybe the best tap list in the city if not the state, the lady selling ingredients. Cheap food for my mates. Very long large bar, and you can take the snifters with you to bottle or to brew. All kinds of people here and stuff going on.Tasty soft drinks too.

this place is very cool. the walls are covered with beer stuff and bottles all around the top part of the walls. The waitress was very nice and the food was decent pub food. The beer selection was killer and I love a place that offers beer flights. This is a must stop for people driving through ohio on route 80.

This is a great brewpub with some solid selections, including a yummy Rye and a pale ale with four different types of hops. You can also brew your own beer in the back from a list of over 100 recipes, which is expensive, but worth the money if you’re having a party. They also offer kegs, which is great for parties as well. At times the service is questionable, if not downright rude, but the food and the beer make up for it.

Our final beer stop on a Tuesday on our way out to Michigan for RBSG ’10. For a place tucked away in a strip mall I was blown away. Not only was the very long main bar and dining area utterly slammed, but were it not for Crizay, we wouldn’t have even gotten seating. We ended up out back in a quiet patio area nestled into the parking lot area. Worked out well given that there was myself, my wife, Crizay, his lady, miketd, puzzl, JoeMcPhee, Maxdaddy, and zdk. So we had that whole back area essentially to ourselves. The on-site brew your own system was also running and full of people. This place definitely has a big local community feel and we felt very welcomed overall. Their own beers were pretty good, and with the brew-your-own thing they have going on, some of those beers make appearances on the taps, which was quite cool. The food was geared toward the greasy comfort food end of the spectrum, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing, and ours was pretty good, so no complaints here. Wish there was one of these in a strip mall near me...

Cool spot in an unexpected strip mall. Their own beers were solid and had a few impressive guest taps. They’re doing the cleveland homebrew community a great service by essentially renting out brewery space to homebrewers. What a great idea. cheap beer samplers, tasty food and nice staff (if a bit slow). Chill, outdoor space. Was pretty crowded at dinner time, so make a reservation.

Pretty cool spot - there is a long, narrow bar area up front and a nice big U-brew area in the back. A sort of parking lot area out the back that serves as a patio as well. There was a nice selection of stuff on - some of it was quite tasty. The spalt bomb and red eye were standouts for me. Cheap too - which never hurts. Solid, if typical pub fare on the menu. I enjoyed hanging out with miketd and crizay though. A pretty solid spot to have a few - the continuous smell of boiling wort sure doesn’t hurt the ambience either.
