We loved our brief visit here, and the only negative I can say is we didn't have enough time to…read morestay and drink more beer! Next time, we must visit longer. Noble Beast is a great brewery in downtown Cleveland. This one felt more like warehouse breweries all over, but with its own urban jungle vibe of vines growing down from every skylight. Their beer is great quality, which is easy to see by all the awards they have displayed behind the bar akin to high school championship banners. The place was packed, but the bartenders were so nice, even chatting a while about the place. They have seating inside with picnic tables, small tables and chairs, and standing room around the bar and on the back small porch. Just based on our visit for one beer each, I look forward to returning sometime soon!

Our visited ended up being one of our favorites thanks to a silly group of friends, and the super friendly and patient bartender Sarah who made sure we had a great time. The brewery is nearby a cool old raising bridge, which is present in their logo. They have a bunch of core styles to choose from. The decor leans heavily into local kitsch, which gives it a casual and colorful vibe. Prices are super reasonable with $9 flights. The beer quality was great as well. A highlight (or nightmare) for us was the fact they had the infamous Malort to try, we all had our first shots and hated every minute! We visited during a weekday, but I can easily see this being a fun and happening weekend night brewery. I'd love to visit again.

I opted for espresso martini and my best friend ordered a flight: -Tangier IPA SESSION -Raspberry Wheat Ale -Pumqueen cider -Legacy Lager -Praise the Haze IPA She enjoyed the drinks especially the cider and my drink was very yummy! Since they have beers to go, I ordered a four pack of their seasonal Cheat Day Brownie swirl ice cream imperial ale for my fiancée because he loves their beers.

This brewery feels like it's in a quiet residential neighborhood because it is; nearby is a wine by but otherwise it's picturesque streets and homes. Going inside it looks a little unremarkable, like a garage brewery anywhere. But inside it's special. The main bar room is like an open barn, with warmth tasteful decor. Behind the bar is an antique ice chest, used to display their merchandise. They have a small menu of tasteful styles; we all got to talk to one of the brewers who was clearly proud of what they make. Further inside there are other rooms for private events, working brewery areas, historical decor, and restrooms at the end. The real draw here though is the outdoor beer garden: wood chip floor, big comfy Adirondack chairs, picnic tables, high tops, fire pit areas, basically any type of seating for groups or singles. Big trees, ivy, green everywhere; it was so relaxing enjoying our flights as cyclists and others came in and out through the gate from the street. The beer was also great, delicious quality and reasonable prices. This is a must-visit brewery in Cleveland, you sure don't feel like you're in a city when you're here.

They have an excellent beer selection, great food, and an overall fun, welcoming atmosphere that keeps me coming back year after year. My only criticism is that staff are very proactive about clearing tables. On more than one occasion, someone has taken items without asking first, including a drink I was still planning to finish. I appreciate the effort to keep the dining area clean, but a quick "Are you finished with this?" would go a long way and make the experience even better.

We came on a particularly busy day, as there was a sports YouTuber running a charity meet-and-greet inside, and there was a line of rowdy people for the entire two hours we were there. I tried the Ohio Apple Salad to make the most of my Ohio experience! It was just alright, nothing special, and I left feeling a bit hungry still. The smoked blue cheese topping wasn't tasting super smoked, and the spiced pecans were lacking (both in spice and in quantity). The apples were nice and crunchy, but it would've been great if there were more slices! Overall, the vibes here were good, but keep expectations neutral-to-low about the food.

I really liked the glass! Beer had a taste to it that I didn't really enjoy... Like gas from the draft, maybe? Aside from that, the beer was on point with the description. There's no food menu, but a food truck operates during certain hours. There's also no AC. There is a arge outdoor area with games and seating. Lots of families with kids. Personally, not the crowd I'd typically choose for Friday afternoon beer. But a solid perk for those that like to drink craft beer with their kids in tow. 3/5 - nothing bad, nothing great. They seem to have found their niche, make sure it's yours before you go.
