Description
Buckeye Brewing began brewing in 1997. The flagship beer, Hippie IPA, was first bottled in 1998. We are one of only three breweries bottling in Cleveland, OH. While well known for hoppy Pale and IPA, other styles shine as well. Buckeye produces everything from German-style Kolsch to Belgian-style Saison. Buckeye’s bottled products can be found in quality bottle shops across Ohio. Buckeye currently brews on a 15 barrel Century brew house. Stay tuned for updates on our front page.

Sampled on cask at the brewpub this beer poured a reddish-amber color with a medium sized foamy beige head that faded and left good lacing. The aroma was tangy and sweet with tropical fruits, pineapple and sugar. The flavor was toasted caramel, pineapple, apricot, raisin, a boozy presence that worked well, toasty malts and was very sweet. Very long finish of pineapple and booze. Full bodied. Outstanding!
