I love Great Lakes Brewing! The beer is amazing. How can you go wrong with a beer called Dortmunder Gold, because it has won so many awards for being a great beer. When I meet friends from college in Cleveland this is our usual spot. The location is awesome being down the street from the Westside Market! It is sometimes hard to find parking though.
The alumni association from my college had an event there over the summer on a Friday night. The staff was great in helping all of us out. It's a must visit place when you go to Cleveland! The company is also 100% sustainable with the way they make there beer and the distribution model. If you go around Christmas time make sure to get the Christmas Ale it's to die for and sure sign that Christmas is right around the corner. I also enjoy the Edmund Fitzgerald.
