Great Lakes Chillwave Goes To Indy

I’m headed to Indiana next weekend to visit my buddy. He was in Cleveland in the spring and we sampled the amazing Great Lakes Chillwave. I picked up these two four packs for the journey. He’ll be thrilled.

If you’re not familiar with Chillwave, its a seasonal double IPA. Well worth checking out the next time it’s available. Check it out on Beer Advocate.

And God Created The Midwest…

Got this as an email forward and thought it was share worthy.

And God created the Midwest…

On the sixth day, God turned to Archangel Gabriel and said, “Today I am going to create an area of land called The Midwest. It will be a land of outstanding natural beauty. It shall have tall hills and rolling plains full of game and eagles, beautiful sparkling lakes bountiful with bass and streams full of trout, forests full of deer and turkeys, valleys with fertile soil with an abundance nutrients to grow things, and rivers teaming with fish.”

God continued, “I shall make the land rich in resources so as to make the inhabitants prosper, I shall call these inhabitants Midwesterners, and they shall be known as the most friendly people on the earth.”

“But Lord,” asked Gabriel, “don’t you think you are being too generous to these Midwesterners??”

“Not really,” replied God.. “Just wait and see the winters I am going to give them!”

CLE Clothing Co – Wear Your Pride

CLE Clothing Co. was founded in 2008 by two lifelong friends who wanted to share their Cleveland pride. One fateful night over some beers the guys decided to put their money where their mouth was and came up with a plan.  They purchased a screen printing press, some blank t-shirts, and got to work on a couple of designs. CLE Clothing was born.

You can find CLE Clothing Co. at their downtown location at the corner Euclid & East 4th, their Waterloo Art District location at 15813 Waterloo Rd. or at the following online locations:

Cleveland Guardians of Beer Coaster Set Kickstarter

To celebrate Cleveland and our amazing craft brew scene, Dang & Bell Design Co has created a set of solid wood coasters perfect for any table. As native Clevelanders they have seen many changes in the city. Cleveland has become a spirited cultural hub, and they are brimming with pride over how far the city has come. They were inspired by all the progress and were compelled to create something that reflected that sentiment. The Guardians of Transportation that overlook Carnegie Avenue have always been a symbol of the city’s strength and resilience. By incorporating this imagery into their coasters, they hoped to capture that spirit.

The Guardians of Beer coasters are a hand crafted and finished, solid wood coaster set. Crafted with longevity in mind, the sets are available in Cherry, Maple, Walnut and Basswood. Each wood was carefully selected with both aesthetics and quality in mind.

You can find (and back) this Kickstarter here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/dangandbellco/cleveland-guardians-of-beer-coaster-set/description

If you’re a Clevelander and you like beer, more than likely you’re a fan of Christmas Ale from Great Lakes Brewing Company. And while the official Christmas Ale tapping typically occurs in October, you can find some local establishments that will hold a barrel or two for Christmas in July activities.
