CLEVELAND, Ohio —Seven days of celebrating craft beers is a great way for people to experience some of the city's best brews.
- Cleveland Beer Week’s mission is to promote the city’s local brewery scene and educate beer drinkers on the city’s craft beer scene
- Organizers say every pint sold will help students in need
- Cleveland Beer Week runs until October 26
Cleveland Beer Week has been around for ten years now.
Its mission is to promote the local brewery scene, plus educate consumers on the city’s craft beer scene.
“Cleveland is an amazing market,” said Art Caram, GM Southern Tier Brewing Company. “We are so happy to be here and opened this over a year ago, and it’s an absolute great market for beer lovers…it’s one of the best markets in the country.”
Organizers say every ounce of suds sold during Cleveland Beer Week will help students in need.
“All the flagship events we do for Beer Week, proceeds go to the Jimmy Malone Foundation, and all that money for underprivileged children to go to college, so we have lots of stuff going on, there’s events every night… if you go to the website clevelandbeerweek.org, you can see all the events, and, end of the week, we have “Night at the Brewseum,” which is at the Natural History Museum, and that’s gonna be a really good event… we have 100 beers and 17 restaurants.”
“Huge thing… that’s one of the biggest reasons to get involved, to support all the charities involved,” said Caram. “Ya know, there was a chance, I was reading a bunch of articles in the last week or two that Cleveland Beer Week was gonna die a slow death, and I’m really glad they were able to bring it for this year… it’s lost some momentum the last couple years, and I’m glad we are still doing it.”
Cleveland Beer Week runs until October 26.
