I'm not a big beer guy but my husband and I stumbled upon this adorable brewery on a winter road trip and fell in love with it. The humorous signs and themed decor around the place was great and the bartender was super friendly. My husband enjoyed the beer and I purchased a beanie as a memento. We left promising each other we would return one day. read more

Great vibe, great beers. Service is awesome, the owner is one of the best people in the industry, very creative with his suds.

My wife typically has a hard time finding 1 beer she likes at a brewery but she got a flight and liked all 4 including mine too. The service was friendly and atmosphere was nice. The only thing that could have been better was to change the football game off a blow out but this place was great. read more

Food is good. Service with a smile. Ambiance is fun with different events all the time, they even have a Taylor Swift trivia night.

Nice brewery on the main strip in town. We sat at the big window in the front of building and people watched. The beers were good and the service was great. There didn't appear to be food options, which is fine for a brewery. The town parking lot was right next to the building for convenience. There was nothing special about the interior but that won't change what I thought of the place. I'll be back to try more beers the next time I'm in town. read more

Nice little pub that gives bridge street a different option to choose. But the fact it's ran by 2 home grown Ashtabula boys is great!

This is a fun brewery and the staff and beer were amazing! If you anywhere around that area you should check them out.

Only giving four stars only because we didn't order food. So I'm from out of town and we were led here by friends for a few drinks after dinner. Absolutely love the atmosphere in the Cloven Hoof. I ordered the Bean Baptism, absolutely fantastic brew, coffee Blonde Ale w/ Vanilla. You can smell the coffee, I mean what's better than coffee? Beer and coffee together. The lady had skittles sour beer, a little too sour for me but bold flavor. Next time I'm in the area we should definitely be back. Cheers read more

Cloven Hoof Brewing - Bean Baptism - Breweries Near Me - Ashtabula, Ohio

I stopped in on a Saturday afternoon on a little road trip and had a great experience. I ordered a flight of the coffee blond, Hefeweizen, tropical stout, and a double imperial IPA. I also had a little sample of a freshly tapped blueberry marshmallow sour. All were excellent and I ended up taking home crowlers of the stout and the blueberry sour. The brewer/owner Ryan and bartender Allie took great care of me and we had good chats about the beer. I was surprised to learn that Ryan brews on a really small system. You would not know it by the array of beers available, so kudos to him. I also enjoyed the $2 bottomless popcorn; it's a tasty way to soak up the beer. read more

Great beer!! Service was super attentive and very kind!! The vibe in the place is very cool- great place to hang out. Will be back!

You cannot go wrong at Cloven Hoof. Coming from another brewer they have some of the most incredible beers in the craft brewing industry. The owner and his lovely lady have paved the way for craft beer in the area. Guys...we love you! Keep doing you and we'll keep drinking! read more

Awful ! Counter person that took our order was rude and not willing to offer any help of suggestions. I explained we were never there before and didn't know what they offered. All she kept saying is what's on the board. Ok the board is 15 ft high on the wall written in chalk. Sorry my vision is not the best. How about her saying what do you like this is what this is ? They were not busy on a Saturday night. Had movie playing on the big tv. Sorry we interrupted her movie time. Ended up getting a horrible beer and a cider that was drinkable. The beer was left on the table full and the cider I took with me and when I went to leave was screamed at don't ever come back here again you can't leave with a drink !!! Wow ! Not necessary wasted $40 and was told they would call the cops on us. Horrible people. read more

Stopped by as soon as they opened after a day hanging at Walnut Beach. Allie was pouring behind the bar and Joe was working in the back and both of them were extremely nice, friendly, and engaging. Although their hospitality was incredible, the beers were for sure the highlight! I had a flight, tried every category on the menu (sour, milk stout, ipa, and kolsch). My favorite beer was the GOAT coffe milk stout. Great color, great aroma, great flavor. Highly recommend you stop for a beer or two when in Ashtabula! read more

A great place to go in ashtabula harbor! Clean, professional, and the best crafted beers you'll find anywhere! People are nice and take care of their customers. Allie is on top of all her customers. Always smiling and lets you try samples to make sure your taste buds like what you get. If you go to ashtabula you like craft beer or great local wine... you need to stop. You'll be glad you did! read more

Love love love this spot. The bartender is always very friendly and helpful. The attention to detail inside with the decor is really unique. The beer selection is so delicious, my personal favorite is the one brewed with coffee & chocolate!! read more

Visited and took a pack of can carry out due to viral restrictions. Very knowledgeable tap master. Might have had the best IPA I've ever had - Gibson's Glory. Also had a VERY hoppy Socrates IPA. Luckily, I like hoppy. It was pricey at $18 for a quart of beer, but for beer this fresh, it is worth it. Will certainly return. read more

Great new micro/nano brewery. Super friendly staff with a good selection of their own brews with very interesting choices with high quality and rare ingredients in the form of classy hops and barley managed by the brewer. Was only driving by with no ability to stay longer than to grab a growler for a Saturday surprise for the hubbers - will def be back! read more

Great great beer. Always something good on tap. Best brewery in the area, not a so called brewery to attract tourists. If you're a craft beer lover, you'll be going back. read more

Amazing place. Service is knowledgeable, environment is unique, and most importantly beers are great. True brewery with the beers on tap being brewed in house. In this area there are a lot of decent winerys, it's about time there was a good brewary. If you like beer go here read more

Great atmosphere. Amazing bartender . Creative variety of product. The flavors are unique enough to excite the palate while also having a familiarity that keeps you coming back. My personal favorite is AYYYYYY! Haha part of the fun is saying it when you order it . There's something for everyone. my cousin likes when they have live music. I like it during the day when my friends and family can play ping pong; My uncle loves the early night atmosphere with some free refills on popcorn and the biggest tv screen on Bridge St. read more

The beer is good. However, I've been there twice and the service is awful. It was the same bartender both times. She was rude, condescending, disappeared for 15 minutes at a time, played on her phone constantly, and only seemed interested in assisting the people she knew. We were very excited to have a place like this in Ashtabula county, and tried to forgive the first interaction. However, I will never go back again. I will take my business to Cornerstone in Madison, where they treat all their customers with respect. read more
