Yeah, I was impressed with their Willoughby's offerings when we have gone to the brewery (twice now). Always a solid lineup and I have enjoyed them all.
As I mentioned prior, Great Lakes is just OK. I have not had bad beer from them, but nothing extraordinary either.
My favorite go-to brewery in the Cleveland area is Fat Heads. I live about 15mins from their tap house by the airport and I just love it. Always some really amazing stuff on tap, great atmosphere, good crowd... Market Garden in Ohio City is fantastic as well.
I am looking forward to this spring/summer, when we blend in some brewery stops along our road trips to Chicago and Michigan. We did this last year with the Hershey, PA area stopping at Troeg's and Victory, which were amazing! This year, it will be Three Floyds, Revolution, Bell's and Founders (at least those four). Plus of course more in the Ohio area... Looking forward to them!
Now back on topic...
Yesterday I enjoyed my Peanut Butter Cup Coffee Porter as expected with a buddy, as well as having Revolution's Anti-Hero IPA. I was extremely impressed with the IPA (first time having), reminded me quite a bit of Three Floyds Zombie Dust. It is an APA, so while it has the hoppiness it has a clean finish and is quite easy to drink. Great citrus in there as well, which I love in my IPA/APA's. Just a very tasty beer. Quite nice looking in the glass, too.
While I have drank IPA's for quite a few years, they were my least favorite style for a long time. Recently though, I have had so many GOOD ones that they are really becoming a favorite of mine. Zombie Dust and Yum Yum (Three Floyds), Head Hunter (Fat Heads), Mystic Mama (Jackie O's), Anti-Hero (Revolution)... Among others.
