Best of the East 2022: Brewery

It’s all in the name at Boss Dog Brewing Co. in Cleveland Heights. Ohio proud and Cleveland tough, the brewery serves up drinks and food pairings like a boss. Owner Josh Sweet gives the scoop on must-try drinks and the best food pairing for each.

1. El Hefe. This bright and light German wheat beer features traces of slightly spicy clove with hints of banana. Even better, cans of this delicious drink can be found at Heinen’s Grocery Store locations starting July 1.
Pair it with: Shrimp salad sandwich

2. Mastiff. This mango-infused hazy IPA features an unmatched juicy, tropical, citrus flavor that quenches the thirst and satisfies the senses.
Pair it with: Summer salad

3. Rocktoberfest. This German marzen was the 2021 Best Oktoberfest Winner at Cleveland Oktoberfest — and for good reason. The malty beer features a beautiful deep-amber color and offers a clean and classic finish.
Pair it with: Schnitzel sandwich
