I got some free Megabus tickets a few weeks ago that enabled my wife and I to go to Cleveland for the day this Friday. The main reason for the trip is to go to Great Lakes Brewery but I was wondering if there were any other places that we shouldn't miss while we are in town.

The Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame is fun. Otherwise, I can't think of anything special.

As you face the front door of GLB there is a place around the corner to the right that specializes in Belgian style beers.

I second this. The usually have a great selection of Belgian beers in particular.

The Rocky River Brewing Company is putting out some good beers, too, and is worth the visit. They stole a few brewers from Great Lakes a number of years ago, so if you like one, you'll like the other.

Andy Tveekrem, who used to work for Great Lakes before his Dogfish Head stint, is back in Cleveland brewing at the Market Garden Brewery. It was supposed to have opened recently, but I don't know the latest news. Their website is here: http://marketgardenbrewery.com/

Otherwise, well, what else would you like to do?

check out the Brew Kettle in Strongsville right by the airport - WELL worth the visit. Awesome beer, fantastic food (try the bar-BBQ spaghetti, its to die for) and growlers to go. they should still have white rassia on tap, their new award winning IIPA. Also try out the 4-c's pale ale or the dead poet IPA, just some of my personal favorites. By far the best brew-pub in Cleveland. After that, work your way towards down-town and check out great lakes brewery and the rock-n-roll hall of fame. Great lakes is on the west bank of the flats and the rrhof is on the east side next to the Browns stadium, about 5 minutes away from each other. Lots of cool places to visit around here, too bad you only got one day

There's also Fatheads and JW Dover/Black Box Brewing (one of my local LHBS that sells their stuff in a market on site) out in North Olmsted, Cornerstone Brewing in Berea. If you want to venture further, The Willoughby Brewing Company is worth a visit. Also towards Akron there is Hoppin Frog, Thirsty Dog, and a couple others that escape my mind.

I always check out http://beermapping.com/ for everywhere I go. On the left is a drop down for different cities.

I live about 10 minutes away from the willoughby brewing co. good beer and great food, my only gripe is you have to wait about an hour to be seated and they're a bit costly. haven't checked out jw dover/black box brewing or cornerstone
