Monday was April's Pizza & Brew night at Pizzeria Paradiso with Great Lakes Brewing Company, an outfit out of Cleveland. We got our table by the fireplace again and were seated with a pretty nice couple, beer enthusiasts both, who live in Maryland and attend beer events pretty regularly. They had actually been to this brewery and raved about it. The rep from the brewery really emphasized the sustainability of the company and our new friends backed him up on the excellent restaurant there. I think my idea for pairing road trips to cities I have not been with Yankees road trips just had Cleveland move up a few notches.
Food was once again excellent. They brought us out an extra small pie and an extra calzone which we split with our neighbors and took home (and I had for lunch the next day). I would say these two courses were my favorite. The paired beers were REALLY good, most in the Ale family. They debuted the Lake Eerie Monster, an Imperial India Pale Ale which was probably my favorite. These were all fairly strong beers.
