Nobody celebrates their craft beer culture quite like Cleveland. Every year, one week is dedicated to the city's pride sourced from the abundance of breweries established around the city. That week is called Cleveland Beer Week.
It wouldn't be fall without conversations and events surrounding all things beer. The week features flagship events with hundreds of smaller events like keg tappings, beer pairings, tasting dinners, brewer meet and greets, and so much more.
This year marks the 10th anniversary of celebrating Cleveland's beer scene.
