Welcome to the Society of Northeast Ohio Brewers

The SNOBs are one of Ohio's oldest homebrewing

clubs, dedicated to promoting the brewing and enjoyment of fine beers. Founded in 1990, the club meets the first Monday of each month a 7:30 PM at Sachsenheim Hall in Cleveland's West Side. In addition to monthly meetings, the club also sponsors special evenings at local brewpubs and restaurants (SNOBs Nights out), a spring pub crawl and homebrew festival (Beer and No Sweat), a summer camping event (Brew and Canoe, in Huron), our annual Oktoberfest weekend festival in Medina, and an extravagant Christmas party. Visitors are always welcome at our meetings, where they will find lively presentations on beer and brewing, great conversation, and answers to any brewing questions they might have.

Beer and No Sweat Bus Trip

March 6th 2010

Like last year this year's BANS will be an overnight bus trip to Michigan, but we will not be going to the Winter Beerfest instead we will tour around to several breweries, and then spend the night in Detroit. We have most of the schedule down, but still have a few things to iron out.

Like last year we will leave form the Lakefront line Lot on Brookpark road. The Club will provide breakfast in the form of Doughnuts, Bagels, Juice, and of course a cold barley soup in the form of a keg of the club barrel aged Rye IPA.

Those of you on the bus last year will be glad to hear that we will be showing the continuing adventures of Zane and his Buddy Steve McKenna, (That's a Social) in seasons 3 and 4 of Three Sheets during our trip. For those of you on the bus last year I have one word;

MONKEY!!!!!!!! Now go drink up!

Our first stop of the day will be in Battle Creek Michigan where will stop for Lunch at Arcadia Brewing Company to sample their fine beers, eat lunch and tour their unique Brewery outfitted with open top fermenters.

From Arcadia we will travel to Dark Horse brewing to try their beers, and take in their unique sense of decorating.

The next stop we make is Jolly Pumpkin Brewing to try their fine Sour ales. We will gather in the second floor private room for a 5 beer sampling and a brief presentation by one of their staff.

Then we will head directly to the Hotel in Madison Heights MI, and check in. At the hotel you are in what the Navy would call a Target rich environment. There are 8 breweries and one really good beer bar all within 12 miles or less of the hotel.

Our incredibly talented driver Denes, has agreed to let us back on the bus and make a loop around the city dropping us off at several places. At that point you will be on your own as far as getting back to the Hotel, or to your next destination via Taxi. I think if we Buy him some beers he may even drop some of us off at the beer store, and come back to pick us up.

Sunday we will stop at Fort Street Brewing and visit Doug Beedy, formerly of Cornerstone brewing for lunch. After that unless someone can suggest someplace good to stop in Toledo, we will head back to Cleveland.
