Some excellent selections! If you ever make it to Cleveland, be sure to visit Great Lakes Brewing Company - they have a pretty good restaurant, and eight or nine beers on tap, including some which can be had only at the brewery. My favorites are the Commodore Perry IPA (about 85 IBU and 8% alcohol), and the Nosferatu (a red ale with about the same alcohol content and slightly less hoppiness). Prosit!Way too numerous to mention each beer by name, but here are a few of my favorite breweries and their best beers (in no particular order):
