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.
