Perhaps the greatest aspect of life in a place as seasonally diverse as Cleveland is the emergence of warm, heavy, and decadent seasonal flavors. There’s much to love about the emergence of cinnamon, pumpkin, and other heavily spiced pastries and beverages. Of course, nobody knows this quite like our local brewers and vintners! There are many winter events in Cleveland worthy of anticipation, but those taking place at our local breweries deserve oodles of excitement. Prepare for cozy vibes and big flavors, because these Ohio brewery events are sure to make spirits bright this winter season.
1. Home Slice Pies x Masthead: Pie + Beer Pairing, November 16
If the weekend could be summed up in a few flavors, beer and pie would doubtlessly top the list. Spend a Saturday afternoon sampling four mini slices of pie and four beers. And, better yet, this awesome event brings together two of Greater Cleveland's most flavorful businesses. You can save $5 if you purchase your tickets in advance!
The holidays can be hectic and stressful, especially as we surpass Thanksgiving and have to begin thinking about holiday meal prep yet again. Take a moment to unwind at BRIM Kitchen + Brewery! This night out is offered by The North American Comedy Brewery Tour, which brings some of comedy's best to Northeast Ohio to fill you up with laughs and draughts. Tickets are limited, so be sure to plan your trip in advance.
