Cleveland Beer Week, a week-long celebration of craft brews, kicks off on October 16 with a ceremonial keg tapping at the Independence Winking Lizard. This will be followed by a week jam-packed with beer events throughout Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, and surrounding areas. From special prices on beer at your favorite good beer bar or brewpub to beer dinners, beer schools, beer/food pairings, chocolate and beer pairings, meet the brewer events, quiz nights, and tastings, there will be over 400 hundred beer happenings all week.
“With the number of stellar breweries in our region, as well as the enormous popularity of craft brews both here and across the nation, it seems only fitting that our brewers, retailers, specialty stores, and distributers join together to launch Cleveland Beer Week as a week-long educational celebration,” notes John Najeway, president of the Ohio Craft Brewers Association and co-owner of Thirsty Dog Brewing Company.
It will run through Saturday October 24, and end with the Cleveland BREWzilla, which will be a monster of a beer tasting, featuring crafts and imports from more than 50 breweries. Tickets, complete schedule, and more information can be found at www.clevelandbeerweek.org. Proceeds benefit the Malone Scholarship Fund. Cleveland Beer Week is sponsored by the Winking Lizard, Heinen’s, Buckeye Brewing Company/Beer Engine, The Jacob Leinenkugel Brewing Co., and Anheuser-Busch InBev.
