A few years ago I was in Cleveland, Ohio, and stopped by Great Lakes Brewing Company for a tour! This small operation has been in business since 1988 and sells their beers primarily in the Midwest. The tour is free (samples will technically cost you a quarter though, as the Ohio law forbids them from giving out free alcohol).*
