It’s no secret that, like most other people, I left town for Thanksgiving weekend. As a matter of fact, I’m still in Cleveland, waiting to board a flight to SFO via Houston, TX. So I thought I would take this time to rave about the Great Lakes Brewing Co. in Cleveland, OH.
The food and atmosphere were great. It was your average micro-brew restaurant menu. The most interesting part of my experience was eating a burger made with Amish beef and cheese. Yeah, Amish. It’s such a foreign concept in California. But it was great and knowing that the Amish are organic, old world farmers made the experience even better. I topped off my meal with the famous Great Lakes Christmas Ale, which is fantastic for anyone who loves a good Amber micro-brew.
Another interesting factoid was that thier new beer garden has a geo-thermal heated floor and uses hay as insolation. I was really impressed by the modern technology at such an unassuming locale–Cleveland, OH.
I would recommend the Great Lakes Brewing Co. to anyone who is in the Cleveland area.
