Head Hunter IPA | Fat Head’s Brewery
May 12, 2015 | John Amantea 1
Cleveland, Ohio. A city that, throughout time, has developed a number of monikers – The Mistake by the Lake, The Forest City, The North Coast. But it’s Cleveland’s most recent nickname that has perked the ears of beer lovers across the country: The Best Beer City in America, according to Huffington Post’s Amy Plitt. Though the title may be up for debate (here’s looking at you, Denver and Portland), Cleveland has certainly made its presence known in the craft beer world. With Great Lakes Brewing Company, arguably the most renowned brewery in the area, leading the charge with its award-winning lineup, it’s the smaller, up-and-coming breweries that are excelling in buttressing Cleveland’s newfound reputation. With names like Nano, Platform, and Market Garden standing out among locals, it’s Fat Head’s, and their sterling Head Hunter IPA, who continue the city’s surge to craft beer notoriety.

May 5, 2015 | Cory Pelc 1
The 2015 Fort Love Brewers Jamboree was created by the Loose Affiliation of Fort Collins Craft Brewers (LAFCCB) a group consisting of the commercial craft brewers in Fort Collins and Loveland. This event is envisioned as a journey through craft beer at a slower pace. The end goal is to put craft into the festival experience with a focus on the great culture of Fort Collins and Loveland breweries. (Pssst, it is exclusive to these two cities and the creators hope that both locals and out-of-towners can appreciate the focus on the “Fort Love!”)

Brewery Showcase | Warped Wing Brewing Company
May 5, 2015 | Kate {Brown Ale Girl} 1
My first visit to Warped Wing Brewing Company in Dayton, Ohio was this past November on a traveling craft beer bus. To be honest, after a long afternoon of drinking, I just remembered the awesome beer and venue. With its long chalkboard menu that reminded me of Cigar City Brewing and a large open area for seating and socializing, I immediately felt welcome in such a comfortable environment. I made a mental note, told my friends and family, drove back south, and thought that was that. Read More
