Kent is pretty close to Cuyahoga. Bottles 101 is a good shop with a good bar/tap list, taco Tontos is an awesome burrito shop that has a small but solid tap list. Rays place is a decent restaaursnt with good taps as well. It's a college town but with thanksgiving being this week it should be pretty laid back.
If anyone thinks they are going to miss this and want stuff let me know, I'll probably be only getting a bottle or two and by no means will be maxing out (will be grabbing the Port though)
If you're talking ab WR bottle release, that shouldn't be a concern. Last time, I went at 2:30 after work and easily got a full allotment. I expect this to be the same. Unless they're releasing a super limited beer, I.E. that "lambic", there's no reason to rush. Releases are something they've really excelled at

If you're looking for really good cocktails, Velvet Tango Room is supposed to have some of the absolute best. I don't drink liquor so I can't speak to the quality, but all I hear is that they're amazing. Some great restaurants close to there too (Bar Cento, Fahrenheit, Parallax)
The roller Blabe release is at thebrewery in Marengo which is about 30 minutes north of Columbus. The brewpub in downtown Columbus has random cans but it's usually stuff that is brewed at the pub.
