    Any idea what breweries will be involved outside of Fatheads??

    Thinking about going to this

    Cheers

    I love Fat Head's but I never found this event a must do, or even a maybe. Expect a lot of good beer from a lot of Ohio brewers with a smattering of regional and national stuff. May of may not get stuff you haven't seen before. I usually go the day of and see what's there.

    I'll counter by saying it is easily one of my favorite events of the year. The first two years were probably a bit better for the tickers out there - I remember Founders pouring Diablo de Noche and Bells pouring BA Hell Hath no Fury, for example - but the day session (gotta love day drinking) is so laid back...no more than 3 people deep lines waiting for beers and awesome stuff all around. Not a "rare ticks" fest but a damn good time and lots of tasty beer with some real gems in the mix.

    As for breweries, there is no list yet, but normally you can expect the following: Fat Heads, TBK, Willoughby, Buckeye, Great Lakes, Troegs, JAFB, Jackie O's, Penn, Columbus, Bells, Thirsty Dog, Victory, Floyds and a handful of others too! Over 40 beers, big pours, good music, great time! Highly recommend it!!

    I would agree with @jampics and say that the regional brewers will bring their A-game especially Jackie O's, JAFB, TBK, WBC, Cbus and of course Fat Head's. I will be there.

    I've gone a few times and have enjoyed it, but I think the IPA Fest in October (during Cleveland Beer Week I think?) gets a lot more non-local breweries. I'm all about supporting local breweries, but I like trying new stuff at these type of festivals so it's nice getting some good stuff from other states.

    As @jampics2 mentioned, the day session is the way to go. A lot of times they don't even have certain beers for the night session, which is unfortunate, but not for those that go to the day session!
