Kickoff to Beer Week

Ice-cold cruzers, brewskies, broemans, bruzers, redheads, deadheads, sudzies, floozies, yoodles, doodles, dandycats, and breakfast — whatever you call your beer, there'll be plenty of it this week. Because it's Beer Week. Beer Week? Beer Week. A week devoted to beer. Beer. BEER! So drink early and often, that you might sample the panoply of breweries and brews ringing your tongue's veritable doorbell. Start the week off right with the Unofficial Kickoff Victory Party at Wonder Bar on East Fourth. Victory beer will be on tap and sold at preposterously low Happy Hour rates from 5-7 p.m. Swing by later on to catch a soulful set from Terminal Blues playing from 9-11 p.m. Or just do what you're expected to do at Beer Week events: celebrate the glorious beverage with all due pomp and ceremony, sleep it off, and then come back for more. Reservations are recommended for the event, so e-mail kayakandrea8@gmail.com to secure a spot. Learn more about all of Beer Week's majesty at clevelandbeerweek.org. — Sam Allard
