Last night, it was another fun monthly meet-up of the Ohio Blogging Association! Matthew and I met up with everyone at Lizardville, which is a total craft beer wonderland.
In attendance were bloggers (and blog supporters) from:
Cleveland Rocks, Cleveland Eats
Health Insurance Issues with Dave and Again? Really?
My Future Past (and wife)
My Retro Kitchen (and hubby)
Nidhizzle and Cleveland Socialite
Poise in Parma (and PIP Aunt Kathy)
Smitten…in Cleveland (and “Mr. Smitten”)
Renee from The Brewer’s Daughter led us through some tasty libations, aptly paired with munchies. Renee has great knowledge for and love of craft beer, especially because she’s literally a brewer’s daughter: her father Jack McAuliffe is known as the father of craft beer in America! Also, our Lizardville beer wizard, Burl, explained so much about the different styles of beer and the breweries.
We sampled beers from various styles from Pilsner to Stout: Lagunitas Pils Amber Ale, Bells Amber, Victory Golden Monkey, Founders Porter, Anderson Valley Oatmeal Stout, and Bells Two Hearted. My two favorites were the Victory Golden Monkey (a Belgian Trippel) and the Founders Porter.
Some of us even double-fisted our mini beers…
The food was quite tasty and paired well with the beers. We shared margherita and Buffalo chicken flatbreads, beer and cheese bread with spicy tomato sauce, and sausage and cheese boards.
As always, it was a fun night hanging out with CLE bloggers!
In May, the Ohio Blogging Association will be hosting a virtual meetup, courtesy of a state-wide blog swap. Click here for more details.
Another great blogger event! Love Lizardville…and especially how close to home it is 🙂
So happy to have Team WhyCLE fully represented last night. Thanks again for all your support for the OBA!!
Stumbled upon your blog. We need a group like this in Charlotte!
Hi! Glad you stumbled upon this! The OBA is a really fun way to connect with other bloggers. We have monthly meet-ups and do everything from volunteering to eating and drinking to bike tours and yoga. Maybe you can get something similar going in Charlotte!
Thanks for listing all the beers we drank! I couldn’t remember all of them!
Double-fisting goes ladylike with mini beers! Great night.
looks like a great event!
