We offer private brewery tours Monday through Thursday to better accommodate groups that wish to have their own personal tour guide or varying schedules. Our brewery tour will lead you through more than just our production facility. Guests also journey through GLBC and Cleveland history and, of course, take each step with a beer in hand. Beginning in our Beer Symposium, guests grab their first brew before venturing across the street to the production brewery for more beer samples and a fun, in-depth exploration of the brewing process. Tours last approximately one hour.

PRIVATE TOUR INFORMATION

Tours last approximately 45 minutes to one hour.
