Big Beers, Big Taste

I firmly believe more beer is always better. Hansa Brewery is one of the many places that came onto the Cleveland beer scene in 2016. Located in Ohio City, it is a European style brewery with European food as well. The potato pancake were delicious.

I digress, let’s get back to the beer. Like many European style breweries, think Hofbrauhaus, they serve the large liter and half liter size beers that are standard in the European style breweries. The prices were extremely reasonable for these beers and very refreshing. They make a very drinkable beer there even for those that are not as big into the beer scene but like to tag along with the craft beer enthusiasts. Or maybe dragged along as I sometimes do with my girlfriend as I want to try out more places. Nevertheless, its got something there for everyone.

This European style brewery is a great addition to Cleveland and Ohio City. The fresh and clean atmosphere attached to the little European grocery store next door, that has been around much longer than the brewery, is sure to continue to be a Cleveland staple. img_1544

Yoga and Beer-Interesting Concept

On By Chris ElliottIn Alcohol, Brewery, Fitness, RestaurantsLeave a comment

When someone imagines yoga, I can say with confidence I do not come to mind. In fact, if you are picturing it now I apologize. However, I do “practice” yoga from time to time. Last week, I went out with some coworkers and my girlfriend to Hofbrauhaus in Cleveland for some yoga and beer.

A local company by the name of Balance and Brews puts on these events at local breweries, restaurants and other beer related establishments. You go, do some yoga for an hour and then drink a couple beers. Kind of an excuse to drink and not feel bad about the calories. And trust me the workout will make you earn that beer. I am in semi decent shape (ok that’s a lie) and that session had me dripping sweat like an old man in a sauna. If you’re looking for a good workout with yoga, it’s something to check out. Overall, it’s an interesting concept and drinking a big German beer, or any beer for that matter, is always something I am up for.
