Lagerland – Cleveland Beer Week
Lagerland – A celebration of the past, present and future of Cleveland’s Lager history! Cleveland’s rich lager-brewing heritage dates back to the mid 1800’s. That legacy provided by Cleveland’s early European immigrants has left an indelible mark on our city that continues today. Our local breweries produce a myriad of classically-interpreted Lagers that have made Cleveland one of the truly great Lager cities in the US!
End of summer is that perfect time for breweries to present the full spectrum of Lager beers such as Pilsner, Helles, Marzen, Oktoberfest, Vienna Lager, Maibock and more.
We will celebrate our incredible Lager scene with Lagerland on Saturday, August 24 at Collision Bend Brewing Co – Euclid.

All proceeds benefit the Malone Scholarship Fund, Rec2Connect, and Cuyahoga Country Animal Shelter.
