Noble Beast Brewing Co

Top choice in Cleveland


No wonder so many locals hang out at Noble Beast: it feels like home. Plants dangle from the ceiling. A skylight lets the sun shine in. The garage doors open in warm weather so a breeze blows through. From afternoon to evening, office workers and young urbanites hobnob at the tables here over glasses of German-style ales and fruit beers.

Top marks to the Catchweight Kolsch (crisp), Evil Motives IPA (hoppy) and Pink Peppercorn Pineapple Potion (a flowery saison). An elevated pub grub menu accompanies the brews.

Noble Beast is located at the far edge of downtown. It's across the street from Cleveland’s Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) office, so mind your manners!
