| - Newer brewery in Cleveland, and definitely one of my favorite spots for both brews and food. One negative here is being downtown, there isn't a parking lot. Many large, biergarten style tables, so there is often room to sit, even when busy. One thing I really like is the organized lines to order both food and beer, so ordering drinks doesn't make you relive your days of waving a card to buy light beer and mixed drinks.
The pizza here is awesome. All of these are wood-fired so it may appear a little over-toasted, but thats just part of the style. I've had the BBQ Pork pizza minus the pickles both times I've been here to eat, and I have enjoyed it each time. Pork is tender, tasty BBQ sauce, onions, and my personal favorite, the use of fresh mozzarella.
At a brewery, the most important thing is the beer, and I've enjoyed the wide array of options that they've had. Some of the more standards like the Jalapeno IPA, Wit, and Pils are solid, but it's the many small batches that really push this place over the top. Smoked Helles is solid. Wide array of Bourbon Barrel Aged beers last time that I was there were all solid. The best I've had was a small batch of my current favorite style beer New England or Hazy style IPAs, and their take on this style, Citra Vice, was outstanding.
A favorite place for my fiance and I to visit. Good pizza and good beer. Here's to hoping they keep up with the small batches.
