Brewers and beer drinkers are coming together to celebrate Cleveland Beer Week—a week-long celebration of Cleveland pride sourced from the abundance of breweries established around the city and the ones planned to go up in the future.
Cleveland Beer Week kicks off with a flagship event of old-fashion beer crawls, going from one bar to another, sipping, tasting and drinking locally produced beer.
Diving the region into teams by turf, 33 local breweries created seven small-batch collaboration IPA's brewed specially for Cleveland Beer Week. Buy a ticket and grab your beer passport to taste all seven beers!
