When the leaves start to change, so does the beer selection at your neighborhood taproom. The return of that familiar fall chill means that we are seeing fewer of those light, fruity sours and more hearty pumpkin-flavored ales, all of which are sure to go well with the tailgates and harvest events filling your fall calendar! Cleveland breweries have certainly honored that warm-to-cold transition in their newly released brewskies. From ales to stouts, here are some local, autumn-inspired beers that deserve a spot in your fridge all season long. Bottoms up!  

Masthead Brewing Co.

Pumpkin Spice Latte IPA ABV 7.5%

It isn't truly fall if you aren't drinking a PSL! So throw on your favorite sweater and head to Masthead Brewing Company for their latest concoction: the Pumpkin Spice Latte IPA! This gorgeous brew was created with real pumpkin, cinnamon sticks, whole nutmegs, cloves, coffee beans from Six Shooter, and real Madagascar vanilla beans.  

Working Class Brewery

Clock Out P.B. Stout ABV 6.0% This fall, Working Class Brewery has their popular Clock Out P.B. Stout on tap! This sweet chocolate stout is infused with creamy peanut butter—what more could you want on a chilly fall day? We can't wait to sip this one near a cozy fire this season. 

Great Lakes Brewing

Nosferatu Imperial Red Ale ABV 8.0%

Great Lakes Brewing encourages beer fans to not be afraid of things that go hop in the night—like this rich Imperial red ale. This spooky beer, named for one of the most notorious vampires to ever haunt storybooks, is ruby red in color and features a toasty malt body lurking beneath a delightfully bitter, hoppy bite.  

Forest City Brewing

Kurbisleichen Pumpkin Ale   ABV: 8.2% Forget pumpkin spice lattes—pumpkin-flavored beer is where it's at. This Kurbisleichen-style ale is full-bodied and packed with autumn flavors. The sweetness of the pumpkin and the aromatic notes of allspice, nutmeg, ginger and clover meld well with German Pale and Dark Munich malts, creating a rich profile to warm the soul and transition you into the colder months.  

Platform Beer Co

S'Mores Yammy ABV 7.9%

One sip of S'mores Yammy from Platform Beer Co. will transport you to a cozy campfire in the Ohio wilderness where spooky stories are both made and told. Enjoy all the tastes of the classic campfire dessert blended of the satisfyingly sweet spiced sweet potato ale.  

Goldhorn Brewery

The Dead Man's Curve IPA ABV: 8.0% Goldhorn Brewery isn't the oldest brewery in town (established in 2016), but its beers reach back to the rich heritage and traditions of the Cleveland community. This beer, named for Cleveland's most infamous stretch of highway, delivers a delicious piney hop flavor and a citrusy aroma. As an American IPA, it provides the perfect balance between bitter and fresh, and is the perfect sipper for warm autumn afternoons!    

Noble Beast Brewing Company

Roasted Sweet Potato Saison ABV 7%

A post shared by Noble Beast Brewing Co. (@noble_beast_brewing) on

When October rolls around, look for this light and flavorful autumn saison from Noble Beast Brewing Company. Instead of adding more pumpkin to the gauntlet of fall-themed beverages, this beer will feature the more palatable sweet potato. The beer will be fermented with Belgian Saison yeast, which creates a smooth spice profile to complement the natural sweetness.  

The BottleHouse

Space Moth - Black Lager ABV 4.2% Coming in at a light 4.2% ABV, this drinkable dark lager is a soul-warming treat for colder months. Brewed with notes of lightly roasted coffee and bready malts, Space Moth is a fantastic drink for new dark beer drinkers and pretty much anyone else who loves beer.  

Cheers!

The leaves are starting to change, pumpkin is taking over every menu in town, and that familiar chill has returned to the air. Fall is upon us again! We look forward to this season every year for the fun traditions it provides, such as picking your own apples. A day in the orchards gathering a fresh harvest with loved ones is the perfect way to ring in the new season — and there's no denying that apples straight from the tree just taste better. Thankfully, the gorgeous Ohio countryside is filled with orchards and farms filled to the brim with juicy, crisp apples ripe for picking. Below, we rounded up some of our absolute favorites. Enjoy!

Patterson Fruit Farm

8675 Mulberry Road, Chesterland At Patterson Fruit Farm, producing fresh fruit is a way of life. The team here enjoys providing food for their local community and sharing the farming experience with families who stop by for a day of adventuring. During apple season (August through early winter), the farm invites you to take a wagon ride and pick your own apples from more than 30 varieties grown on-site. Fun Fest runs from September 14th through October 27th, and boasts a full gauntlet of family-friendly activities, including horse-drawn wagon rides, giant haystacks, a corn maze, pumpkin painting and more!

 

Hillcrest Orchards

50336 Telegraph Road, Amherst Hillcrest Orchards is responsible for the growth of quality apples, pumpkins, peaches and happy family memories. On weekends during the fall, you will be treated to a fun wagon ride out to the orchard, as well as sage picking advice to help you harvest the cream of the crop. Pick four bags and the fifth is free!

Bauman Orchards

161 Rittman Avenue, Rittman

If you make the hour-long journey to Bauman Orchards in Rittman, you will be treated to more than 40,000 apple trees and 18 different varieties (10 available to pick yourself). Guests are invited to pick their own apples from September 2 through October 14. After a long day in the orchard, reward yourself with some fresh-pressed apple cider (and maybe a few baked goods) in the market. Looking for a pumpkin, gourd or squash for eating or decorating? You can find those in the market as well.   

Geig's Orchard

8468 Wooster Pike, Seville Geig's might be a perfect locale for a fun-filled day of apple picking, but it's also a top-notch place to grab a fresh-pressed apple cider, pie fillings, jams and more. Locals wait all year for the market to open so they can ring in the fall season properly!  

Miller's Apple Hill, Ltd.

50549 State Route 113, Amherst This family-owned market is a favorite year-round, but especially during the fall months. Starting in September, bring the family and pick your own apples in the scenic orchards. After your arms are full, peruse the market for fresh pastries, baking supplies and more! You're going to need some apple pie materials, after all.  

Pick 'n' Save Orchard

1222 Ledge Road, Medina Most of the customers at Pick 'n' Save Orchard are regulars that return year after year. This is likely due to the unparalleled hospitality and family-friendly environment that has become tradition here. The farm is a wonderful destination for fruit picking year-round (raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, oh my), but the apples are the main event. Stop by between 10am and 4pm Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays to see for yourself!

 

Monroe's Orchard and Farm Market

6313 Pioneer Trail, Hiram

Monroe's Orchard is a must-visit location for families looking for a fun day out in the sun. You'll find fresh fruits year-round, but it would be a shame to miss the sight of the bountiful apple orchards during the fall months. Stop in for a pick-your-own experience you won't soon forget.  

Stotler's Orchard LLC

4597 Laubert Road, Atwater This charming farm in the heart of Randolph, Ohio is home to more than 113 varieties of apples. A selection that large is sure to please even the pickiest of apple pickers! After you've grabbed a few crisp ones off the tree, take them back to the main lodge, where they will split it and drizzle it with caramel for you to enjoy on site. Make sure to accompany your treat with some house-made apple cider!  

Rittman Orchards & Farm Market

13548 Mt. Eaton Road, Doylestown

Rittman Orchards is known far and wide as one of the most gorgeous settings to spend an afternoon with loved ones. The market is open year-round and offers a wide variety of baked goods and fresh produce, but fruit-picking is the real draw of this location. Strawberries, peaches, apples and more are all available for you to grab straight from the source!  

Sage's Apples

11355 Chardon Road, Chardon

This local favorite is celebrating its 150th anniversary this year, and it's no wonder it has been so successful for so long! The farm grows more than 50 varieties of apples and sells a wide range of fresh produce in its market year-round. While you aren't actually able to pick your own apples at this location, the market offers several delicious varieties that you won't be able to find anywhere else. It's certainly worth a visit.

Whether you've just met or you have been together for 20 years, date night is one of our favorite excuses to get out on the town and explore a new hotspot. And while we would never turn down a classic dinner and a movie combination, sometimes it's fun to switch it up a bit. If you're looking in the right places, you'll find that Cleveland is an incredibly romantic city. The streets are filled with cozy wine bars, cafes, art galleries and the like — all perfect for a night out. We've gathered some of our favorite date night destinations around town that break the dinner and a movie mold (and might just get you out of your date night comfort zone!).

There's nothing that hits the spot quite like a glass of wine after a long day, especially when the wine was harvested, mixed and fermented right here in Ohio. Ohio's Wine Country gets all the credit for our state's best vineyards — and we agree that those wines are great — but for those who aren't in the mood for a long trip, there are several wineries close to Akron and Canton that are just as good, if not better. If you're a fan of chardonnays or cabernets, you will certainly enjoy spending a few hours at a local winery learning about your favorite varietal. We rounded up some of our favorites in the area, so next time you're in the mood to share a bottle, make sure to support your local community (and have a fun day while you're at it!).

The Winery at Wolf Creek

1637 S Cleveland Massillon Road, Norton

The Winery at Wolf Creek was founded in 1980 by Andrew Wineberg on his parents' property with nothing but 10 acres and a dream. The winery has since grown and fallen under new ownership, but continues to be family owned and operated. The current owner Andy Troutman and his family live on the vineyard year round, and Troutman ensures that the wines produced are top-notch and served with a smile. Locals know that the welcoming atmosphere at this local spot is second to none, and typically flock to the vineyard for fun events like the dog-friendly Yappy Hour and live music Mondays and Wednesdays.

Red Horse Winery

5326 Fairland Road, Barberton Since Red Horse Winery sits on the second highest area in Summit County, it also provides access to some of the most incredible sunsets in the state. While you're enjoying the fabulous view, make sure you have a glass of wine in hand. Owner Joseph Semannsky Junior is an eight generation Hungarian winemaker, and has spent many summers on his family's vineyards overseas learning the art of making incredible wines — and his expertise is certainly apparent once you've tasted the final product.

Gervasi Vineyard

1700 55th St. NE, Canton Gervasi Vineyard has swept the table as far as awards go, earning countless gold, double gold and silver medals for its fabulous wines. While you're sipping on your wine of choice, you can enjoy the Tuscan-inspired dining room, live music on the Piazza and breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. Looking to delve a little deeper? Enroll in a culinary class, where you'll learn to make a gourmet meal to pair with one of the Gervasi wines, or enjoy an exclusive pairings tour in the winery, complete with a selection of small bites and wine tastings. Make a weekend of it by staying in a luxurious villa suite on-site!

Nauti Vine Winery

3950 South Main Street, Akron Nauti Vine Winery is nestled on the shore of Portage Lakes, and offers the ultimate wine tasting experience in a relaxing atmosphere overlooking the water. The winery resulted from the passion of local wine enthusiasts, Joe Wathey and Erica Antoniotti, whose vision was to create a Tuscan style winery with fantastic views and a welcoming community atmosphere. The two have accomplished their goal, and welcome locals and visitors alike daily to try Ohio wines and tasty bites. Beer enthusiasts will also find solace here — Mucky Duck Brewery shares a roof with the winery.

Sarah's Vineyard, Winery and Art Gallery

Husband-and-wife team Mike and Margaret opened the doors of Sarah's Winery in 2007, realizing a years-long dream and honoring their late daughter, Sarah. The vineyard and tasting room is an incredible homage to their loved one — boasting shaded picnic tables among picturesque gardens, a rustic chic vibe in the tasting room, a cozy loft, a deck and (of course) excellent wines made from the grapes grown on-site. The newest addition to the property, an elegant pavilion, opened this April, and offers stunning views of the grape vines season to season. Rumor has it that this is a fantastic venue for watching the Cleveland Browns during the fall!

Maize Valley

6193 Edison St. NE, Hartsville Maize Valley truly has everything you could need for a fun weekend getaway, including a winery, craft brewery, farmers' market and even a family fun zone. Shop the market full of homegrown produce, savory meats, fresh breads and delectable cheeses, and create a picnic to enjoy alongside your chosen bottle of wine. The wines are made from grape varietals grown right there in the vineyard, and range from Hanky Panky (a sweet rosé), to Sinfully White (a dry white), Redneck Red (just what it sounds like) and many more. The winery also carries a few fruit wines in flavors like apple pie and blackberry in case you're looking to try something new!

Silver Run Vineyard & Winery

376 Eastern Road, Doylestown

If you find yourself in Doylestown, don't miss this family-owned boutique winery. Husband-and-wife duo Ed Sunkin and Christine Sabo bought the property in 2003, pursuing a dream to build and operate a family-friendly farm to host celebrations and special events. The couple pursued a wine education, working through the Ohio State University Agriculture Research and Development Center, and coupled that with winemaking knowledge they gained from traveling across the world. Their expertise has earned them a number of accolades, including "Editor's Choice" awards in 2006 and 2007 from Wine Maker Magazine. Taste the winning wines for yourself by visiting the tasting room, and make sure to strike up a conversation with one of the owners.

ThornCreek Winery

155 Treat Road, Aurora David Thorn, a local landscaping architect, set his eyes on the ThornCreek site back in 2005. Since then he has transformed a forgotten property into one of the most popular destinations in the area, known for its unparalleled scenery, friendly service, seasonal menu, and eleven fantastic dishes that have stacked up an impressive number of awards over the years, including two silvers, a gold and a double gold (don't miss the chardonnay!). A tasting here is sure to be an experience to remember!

Cheers!
