Yesterday afternoon, my wife and I went to Great Lakes Brewing in Ohio City to have a few rounds and do the brewery tour. We arrive just as happy hour was starting and walked inside the crowded brew pub and had a round. During happy hour (M-F 4-7) beers are $3.50 per pint. Not too shabby considering they are $5 outside of happy hour. After that round we made it over to the gift shop to wait for the brewery tour.
Tours run on Friday 5-9 starting on the hour, and on Saturday every hour from 12 to 6. The tours are free, and very interesting. The tour includes information on the block that the brewpub is on, the history of the brew house, how beer is brewed, and even former Cleveland brewer Schlather. In the middle of the tour you reach the sampling room where samples are $.25. The tour takes about 30 to 40 minutes and is well worth the time, even to non-beer drinkers.
If it weren't for the $35 parking ticket I received (fuck Cleveland), the trip would have only cost $7.75. Not too shabby for some beer and brewing coolness. Anyways, if you ever make it to Cleveland, make the GLBC tour a must see.
