    Visited Working Class Brewery one a weekday evening. When I arrived, there were only a couple of customers, but by the time I left, quite a crowd had gathered (It was a Thursday night). I ordered two tasting flights comprised of the following brews: First flight: Bricklayer Brown Ale (6.7% ABV) Gravedigger Pumpkin/Spiced Ale (6.0% ABV) Arbeitnehmer Schwarzbier (5.4% ABV) American Blond Ale (5.0% ABV) Tunners English Style Special Bitter (4.5% ABV)... Second flight: Minuteman New England IPA (6.6% ABV) Aviator IPA (7.5% ABV) Tinner's Red Ale (6.0% ABV) Snow Job Christmas Ale (7.0% ABV) Oil Rigger Chocolate Stout (6.0% ABV) My faves were the IPAs and Red Ale in the second flight. The brewery is located in a small shopping center, so I don't believe there is any outside seating. Lots of inside seating, several TV's and a dartboard. #WorkingClassBrewery

    Flight of 5 for $11, any 5.

    Stopped here to taste the brews and got a fantastic flight of 5 beers light to dark. I really enjoyed the peanut butter stout - clock out. Being a retired UAW worker, I enjoyed seeing all the signs and stickers from other locals and workforce. I plan to decently stop by when I can enjoy more beer. Looks like they are planning to offer some food too. They have trivia on Wednesday's, open mic on Thursday's and TVs for your sports needs. Motor cycle Sunday's would be fun to stop by to check out the bikes.

    3.5 stars, an A-Ok place. This review is a long time coming. I actually stopped in around July of 2018 to pick up my Cleveland Brewery Passport and get my first stamp. I was in before 5pm so before the after work crowd which was nice. I'm not a big fan of loud packed bars so being able to chill, talk to staff a little bit, and sample a flight of beers in peace is ideal for me. I tried the Peach Blonde $2, Wing Walker Raspberry $2, and the Clockout PB Chocolate Stout $2.50. I don't remember anything good or bad about the beers, I should probably return for another sampling... I do remember that they host different food vendors and one time they had these pierogi people in and that was lovely. Otherwise I don't think they have food, but Red Lantern is right next door so Working Class is great for a before or after dinner drink spot.

    Nice brewery atmosphere in a location you wouldn't expect. They've got a large beer menu but no food. I tried one of the wheat beers on the first shift section of the menu and it was ok. It's a nice place to hang out if you don't want all the commotion of downtown or more trendy areas.

    I checked out Working Class Brewery on Friday for Happy Hour, where they had $1 off 20 ounce beers. I tried the Jager IPA which was $7.50 with the happy hour discount. They also had another IPA that wasn't as hoppy that was tasty as well. The service was friendly and attentive as we sat at the bar. It also filled up as time went on. I love the theme of the place, especially how employees who clock-in with an old school punch clock. They do offer food now (pizza and wings), but it's separate from the brewery and is handled by another gentleman working a table. It would be a lot easier to integrate these two together so you can just add it to your tab - but at least it's something! We ordered the margarita pizza and it was great.

    Overall, I really liked this brewery. It's a fun atmosphere with outgoing bartenders, bar bowling and darts. They have a decent sized wrap around bar, high top tables and booths. It's located in a plaza so parking is a breeze as well. They offer a number of beers, but no food aside from bar snacks (chips, beef jerky), so don't come hungry. I got a flight of 5 beers for 10 bucks. I enjoyed most of them with the exception of the smoked bock-that campfire taste was just not for me. I ended up liking the blood orange IPA best. They also had a pineapple and cumcumber IPA, which my friend really enjoyed. They offer three sizes for beers which, in my opinion, are average priced for craft beer. This place is a really laid back hangout and worth a stop - I'll definitely be back.

    I'll have to come back for this steal!

    This place is within walking distance for me, so I'm going to have to make a few more trips in the coming months. I had a decent time here for only my first visit. The guys working behind the bar were very nice and kept checking on our drinks. The beer was tasty and certainly got the job done. I tried their Jagger IPA and another pale ale. The space was pretty open with empty tables but almost all of the bar spots were occupied. The place was freezing inside on a November day. I'm not sure if that's because I stopped in around 4:30 when they open at 4, but you might want to hang onto a warm jacket just in case. There's no food served at this bar but I noticed a sign outside indicating for you to bring your own. There's a popcorn machine inside if you're just looking for a snack. I noticed a sign on the wall for $12 growlers on Wednesdays. That's a steal! I'll certainly come back to investigate that. There's also a mini bowling game to occupy your time. This place has the makings to be a decent happy hour spot or a chill hangout with friends.

    New brewery located in a strip mall. Clean industrial vibes inside. Smaller relative to some of the other breweries that recently opened (Noble Beast, Saucy Brew Works), but plenty of tables and bar seating. There is no food menu but they provide complimentary pretzels which is a nice touch and good palette cleanser between beer tasters. They also have a popcorn machine and may provide this complimentary as well, but the machine was not working while I was there. I got the flight of beers which, in true working class fashion, is a terrific price point with 4 5oz pours for $8. I got the Berry radler, jagger ipa, cocunut rigger and vanilla rigger. I wasn't overly impressed with the beer however and this will be my biggest hurdle in returning as a customer despite friendly service. All were decent but nothing stood out amongst the now very competitive craft brewery landscape.

    Great Lakes Brewing Company is one of those regional classics from the early days of craft beer in…read morethe USA. If you're a beer fan, and fan of local and beer history, this is a must visit stop in downtown Cleveland. There's a ton to see here. If you reflect outside, you can see how this used to be a bunch of separate businesses and houses that gradually turned into the large spot that's here today. The exterior is historic brick facades, some of which carry over inside. It's along a street that has been transformed into pedestrian only access, so you'll have a pleasant visit if you sit outside to enjoy the fresh air, shady trees, and passersby. Inside there is a ton to look at. The main entrance toward the middle hold the original brewing system from when they first started; they've come a long way. To the left you'll find the merchandise store, with beer to go, plus a ton of apparel, swag, and other merchandise. To the right begin the bar areas, and there are a few. The old bar is here, right at the crossroads of all the staircases and hallways: the basement is its own vibe and also has the only restrooms, main level has various seating areas. If you're at the main bar, you can order direct from the bar; our bartender was so fast and attentive despite the huge crows. Upstairs is another experience with old creaky floors and many small rooms for more intimate conversations. Everywhere throughout is historic brewery art, trays, bottles, etc. from the region, most of which are long gone. Their beer is consistently well made and flavorful, I'm told they have amazing holiday traditions and events here. It's well worth a visit.

The beer was cold and tasty, my only complaint was that they were out of a couple of beers. The food was pretty good. They had a good selection to choose from and everyone felt satisfied that they had something they wanted. Service was decent. She was friendly, but disappeared for a bit while we were waiting to pay.

Thanks to this merger, there were selections from each on tap as each has their own specialties and signature. We came right after opening on a Sunday morning, and there were already people enjoying some beers. It was a late night for us, so it was great to also have an iced tea and Philly cheesesteak, then start enjoying all the great beers on tap. Their beer is consistently made, draft lines and glassware clean. We had a great interaction with bartender Shannon, who was super attentive and friendly the whole time. They have mostly inside seating, with bar stools. A merchandise shop is at the host stand. You must also checkout the basement, with barrels and comfy seating areas, I'm told it's a sight to behold around the holidays. Prices are reasonable, and you know what you're getting when you come here. It's worth a visit, especially if you need a good meal and some beers after a game nearby.

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.

Because of this, we made an effort visit and were glad we did. The pizza is some of the best I've had in years, so that's a must if you're visit. I just love the story; this brewery is downtown in a huge building that looks almost too big for what's inside. It's an old newspaper building, hence Masthead. But even more fun, the original name of the city was "Cleaveland" but it couldn't fit on the newspaper masthead, so they simply shortened it to "Cleveland" and here we are today. The brewery name is in reference to these stories. They have a ton of seating, and a well planned ordering area as you enter. They have high tops, bar seating, and huge long tables for large groups or to share. They also have a great outdoor seating and standing area along the city streets lined with trees. The bartenders were all super friendly and efficient with all the customers constantly coming up. I got a great flight of styles, I wish I had the time to have had more; next time. Our table ordered a bunch of different pizzas to try; I loved the crispy yet soft crusts, cheeses, oils, and fresh ingredients on tap. Prices on everything is reasonable for the quality.

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.
