During my last work visit to the Cleveland area - I discovered The Bottle House on Yelp and was intrigued that they brewed beer, cider, and mead! The Lakewood location used to be an Irish Pub. You can still see the name of the Irish Pub in several places inside The Bottle House.
I came in the first time and opted for the following beer sampler:
Travel is Like Love Wedding Ale (5.0% ABV)
Syklist Norwegian Pale Ale (5.0% ABV)
Erie Coast IPA (7.2% ABV)
Fox Devil Wild Golden Belgian Ale (9.5% ABV)
Threads of Fate Porter (5.5% ABV)
Rising Star Coffee Milk Stout (6.5% ABV)
I enjoyed tasting all of the beers. The Norwegian Pale Ale, Erie Coast IPA, and Rising Star Coffee Milk Stout were my favorites. The bartender also brought me a couple of other beers to taste - but I can't recall what they were...
I came back the next night to try a sampler of their Meads:
Barn Brigade Traditional Mead (7.0% ABV)
To Have Cherry Pyment (9.5% ABV)
City Mead Spiced Berry Cyser (9.0% ABV)
Centurion Blackberry Cyser (9.5% ABV)
2014 Vintage Blueberry Blossom Traditional (12.0% ABV)
Miramar Pineapple Mint Habanero (12.0% ABV)
I was not a fan of their Cysers. The Barn Brigade Traditional Mead and the Miramar Pineapple Mint Habanero - which technically I guess is a Melomel - were my favorites.
I had two different bartenders the two nights I visited. Both were nice and helpful. The two nights I visited were weeknights, so it was a little slow in terms of numbers of customers - which gave me the opportunity to engage with the bartenders and ask a lot of questions about the various brews and the brewing process.
Definitely worth checking out if you are in the Cleveland area!
