Cleveland’s extensive beer knowledge served the city well this weekend. The sun was shining and the beer was flowing Saturday, June 14th at the second annual World Beer Festival at Jacobs Pavilion at Nautica. The event featured over 200 beers from around the world as well as local brews made in Cleveland, Akron, Columbus, as well as other Ohio breweries.
As people went around sampling everything from Madison, Ohio’s own Cellar Rats Brewery Black Rat Imperial Stout to a Blood Orange Hibiscus Wheat Ale from The Bottlehouse in Cleveland Heights, they were given the chance to learn the art of brewing and participate in beer seminars featuring a roundtable discussion with representatives from Fat Head’s Brewery, Thirsty Dog Brewery and Buckeye Brewing.
The event went so well that the festival’s sponsor, All About Beer Magazine, announced that they will be coming back in 2015!
