My Cleveland Beer Week BREWzilla Beer Guide

Each and every time I go to a beer event like BREWzilla I have to come up with a plan. Today I'm going to give you a couple lists that will hopefully guide you around while you are at BREWzilla.

If are you are attending with a Brewer's Circle pass, most of the options in there are "can't miss", but there are a few notable standouts

Brewer's Circle Beers I won't miss: 

• Alesmith: Old Numbskull Barley Wine
• Bell’s: This One Goes to 11
• Buckeye: Aquarius
• Cellar Rats: Barrel Aged Sour
• Great Lakes: Big Black Smoke
• Jolly Pumpkin: De Viente
• Sierra Nevada: Wine Barrel Aged Oliva Dubble
• Stone: Mint Chocolate Imperial Stout
• Victory: Saison du Buff
• Weyerbacher: 17 Anniversary Bourbon Barrel Aged Grand Cru

The General Admission beer list is pretty staggering.  Since there are just a few hours left until BREWzilla kicks off, I'm going to just list what I see as the best of the bunch, most unique, or what is new to our area. Cheers!
