| - Yet another new brewery takes root in Cleveland. Luckily, it is a good one. Located just east of 9th on Lakeside, Noble Beast Brewing occupies a large, old brick building that is unassuming from the outside. Inside is the familiar open and industrial but cozy design. There is an upstairs deck for large groups and a small outside area if you want to sip outdoors. Another plus is the ample parking in an adjacent lot.
I can't comment on the food, but I sampled the Kolsch, Alt bier, Saison, and IPA. All were above average. Alt bier is a hard style to do well, and theirs was particularly good.
If there was one negative, the service was not great. There were only 12-15 customers at the time and neither of the two bartenders asked if we wanted another round after our empty glasses sat in front of us for at least 15 minutes. Also, it was annoyingly difficult to get their attention to cash out. Despite this, I would return based on the quality of the beers and recommend a visit.
