8 Best Craft Breweries near Akron

“Eighty-Three has amazing beer! Don’t sleep on the Christmas Ale and berry sour. Their location in the historic Goodyear HQ building is very cool. Space is huge and they have games everywhere. Food is solid. Highly recommend the flatbread pizzas and pretzel sticks.“

“Very interesting place. Vibe is probably not for everybody, but it's good to see (and hear) something different. Can't really comment on the food, as we ordered fish off the spring seasonal menu. Will try something off regular menu when we return. Did enjoy the deviled eggs! I'm excited to see what they have in store for the Valley - maybe they picked up a few R Shea beer recipes they can put their spin on?“

“The only word I have for this place is, “Genius.” They smoked their tofu, created a spicy stout that stays with you in a pleasant way to continue that classic stout after taste and this place has a full vegan menu for those watching their cholesterol. What a killer place. Well there’s word numero dos… “Killer.” 10/10 would poop here again.

Edit: Adding a more serious opinion. This place is specific to their beer menu. Review it before coming in. As a brewer and past wine/brew supplies salesman I would say these beers are artisan and if that’s not for you, consider understanding that before you enter. Mostly stouts and darks, Christmas styles and the like. Unique beyond all means. I had a winter beer that felt like a warm blanket by the fire as I drank it. So if this IS for you, then I’d highly recommend getting in and exploring these beers. I believe the world beer cup has listed several of their beers as “best in the world” and I would agree.“

“Great place.. good beer .. yummy food“

“The Christmas Ale is amazing.“

“Last night, we held my husband's 50th birthday party at Thirsty Dog Tap House. What a perfect place to have a celebration! Manager Toni took care of every detail from advising on the right amount of food and ensuring enough seating and tables for our large group to pacing the food so the apps and pizzas were always fresh and warm. She and her "brew crew" took great care of our guests with friendly, helpful service throughout the evening. If you're looking for a place to have a large gathering, look no further than Thirsty Dog Tap House. Thank you, Toni and staff, for making this party a success!“

“I come to Hoppin Frog once a month because of the beer and the people. Real talk, I meet a new person here every Friday Happy Hour that rocks. Bartenders rock, give great recommendations and always room to take beers home. Shout out to Tatianna!“
