Jason Wells+FollowCleveland’s brewery scene faces big changesBookhouse Brewing is closing just shy of its seventh anniversary, joining a growing list of Northeast Ohio breweries and restaurants shutting their doors due to rising costs. It’s tough seeing local favorites like Bascule Brewery, Hoppy Dude Brews, and even Mentor Brewing Company call it quits. Still, there’s a glimmer of hope—Bookhouse’s space might stay a community gathering spot, and some breweries like Magic City and Eleventhree are expanding. With industry veterans like Vaughn Stewart moving to Rocky River Brewing, the local craft beer scene is definitely evolving. How do you feel about these changes in our neighborhood? #Food #Cleveland #CraftBeer00Share
