It’s nearly time for the fifth annual Cleveland Beer Week…which is once again a week PLUS two days! Bonus! It runs from October 18-26th, and you’ll find hundreds of events to pick and choose from–including keg tappings, brew dinners, beer sipping at bars and grocery stores across Cuyahoga County, and of course BREWzilla: A Monster of a Beer Tasting and several other flagship celebrations!
This not-for-profit event is programmed to raise awareness of the craft beer industry and the rich brewing history of Ohio. All the flagship events raise money for the Jimmy Malone Scholarship Fund. From the Collaboration Kick-Off events at several retail locations in five neighborhoods, to the new Lebowski Bowling with Lagunitas at the Lakewood Lizard, plus the return of Culture Yourself and Ales on Rails and of course Brewzilla…you are sure to find something fun to suit your beer-loving palate.
This year I have two tickets to give away to each of the flagship events! (Disclosure: I’m also receiving media passes to 
promote the events.) You, lucky reader, will have a chance to win tickets to your choice of the Collaboration Kick-Offs, Culture Yourself 6-8 p.m. session, Ales on Rails, and BREWzilla general admission. I’ll draw a winner once a week between now and then, announcing winners at noon on Sept. 20, 27, Oct. 4 and 11th! (Giving out the tickets in the order listed in this paragraph.)

I would love to do Ales on the Rails. All the events sound promising & they coincide with the hubby’s birthday! Go figure the beer lover gets BEER WEEK for his birthday!
I went to Brewzilla last year and it was a blast! I’d love to go again! But, the Collaboration Kickoff looks like a lot of fun, too. Basically I’d love to go to any of the events!
So many great events. I think I need to check out Cleveland Brewed, Cleveland Grown Beer Dinner and Brewzilla this year. I love dinner and drink pairing events.

I would love to attend Brewzilla, I’ve heard such great things!!
I have never been to Brewzilla and I would love to go!
I would love to do the Ales on Rails! A beer tasting on a train. Delicious and cultured! It would be very cool!
I’d be psyched for all of the events (there are so many!!), but think that I am most excited about Rogue Oysterfest (YUM!) and Bells Ruins Beer Week.
Fantastic Blog! I’m glad I saw a post on Facebook about this site.
I too can’t wait for BrewZilla and REALLY hope to win tickets to go!
Most excited about Brewzilla (mainly because with all of my kids’ sports and activities, it’s the only event I can make definite plans to attend).
I’m excited for the Rogue Ales Oysterfest!
SO stoked for the Collaboration kickoff and Lebowski Fest! I’d love to go to Brewzilla but my bank account has been drained from all the beer 🙁
Ahhhhhh I am so excited for the entire week of beer!! This will be my first year going and I definitely want to take part in the Kickoff and the Culture yourself events! Love cheese and trying different craft beers!
With so many great things going on, hard to pick just one — but the Collaboration Kickoff in Ohio City sounds like a great time!
Tweeted as well (https://twitter.com/eacissej/status/383276732955901952)
This is my first year in Cleveland, so I’d love to check out ALL of the great collaborations and crawls! Ohio City crawl? Thristy Dog launch? Brewzilla? Where to go first?? Sounds like an awesome local brew event.
Just tweeted about it: https://twitter.com/blueberrybison/status/383277728536854528
Maybe this will be my first Brewzilla…a girl can dream! Already have my tickets to the Ohio City Collaboration Kickoff though and I can’t wait for that!
Ales on Rails!
Congrats, Brian, you are the winner of Ales on Rails tickets! Cheers!
One thing that Cleveland has taught me after I moved here four years ago was how to drink like a real woman, so I am giddy for all the events, particularly BREWZILLA! Tweeted!
Jenny, you are my BREWzilla ticket winner! Cheers!

Crossing my fingers for the ales on rails event tickets! I hear of couples that go every year and I would love to start that tradition too. After last night’s Browns win, I know anything is possible!
I love and am most excited about BrewZilla
Gotta love BrewZilla the most
I’m excited to volunteer for Culture Yourself! Rest of week hitting some of the special tappings.
Brewzilla is always great, but the Culture Yourself with all the cheese is my fave.

Brewzilla is such a fun event and a chance to learn about a bunch of different beers. I would have to say I am most excited for that event.
I am most excited about Brewzilla – one of my Fall favorites every year!

I think I’m most excited about the Victory Brewing Browns watch party at Tremont Taphouse…or maybe the Oomegang pairing at Lily Chocolates!
Oops…I just realized it’s too late 🙁 Sad…
BREWzilla would be the best, being able to try so many different style would be GREAT!!
