Saucy Brew Works

A brewery that has it all. The beer is meticulously crafted, cleverly named, and brewed in a spirit of innovation without getting wacky. I didn’t try anything that wasn’t amazing. Their fired pizza is saucy, their spirit is saucy, and their sauce is saucy. Open air, great vibe, easy parking, and a corner gem.

If you’re looking for fine brew and food in Cleveland and want a brewery/brewpub that is friendly and non- pretentious in nature, then the place you want to visit is Saucy Brew Works. Located west of downtown Cleveland, Saucy Brew Works is a casual, welcoming place that brews its own beer and serves some of the best pizza pies in the area.

I visited Saucy Brew Works as part of a beer tour of Cleveland in support of my beer blog, Great Beer Now. I liked Saucy Brew Works immediately, from the moment I walked inside. The communal seating provides a sense of togetherness and I liked the fireplace and friendly folk. I walked into Saucy Brew Works knowing no one at all, but quickly started up conversations with total strangers and made quick friends in the process.

Saucy Brew Works serves about 15 of its own beers on tap and I found all of the beers I sampled to be solid offerings and good representatives of their respective styles. I recommend ordering a flight sampler at first so that you can try multiple beers and find the one that is most to your liking. I loved them all, but I did like the IPA ASAP the best overall, even though I admit that all are good and it really is a matter of personal taste preference.

This establishment is known for its pizza as well as its beer and I recommend ordering at least a personal size pizza when you visit. It goes very well with the beer and there are many great tasting options. I also recommend playing a round of pinball and/or skeeball before you complete your visit, as a way to round out the fun.

Cleveland’s beer scene is rising fast and Saucy Brew Works, with its friendly atmosphere, tasty brew, and delicious pizza, is leading the way. It’s a cool place you are bound to enjoy if you love craft beer so be sure to add a visit to your Cleveland, Ohio itinerary.

Beer was excellent, food was very good. We were in a private event upstairs which is a pretty nice space. Only issue was the music upstairs was pretty loud and the speaker calling out food orders was pointed directly at our party.

The B3 is fantastic. Herbal, malty, not hoppy at all. I also had the porky pork pizza. Highly recommended. A little spicy which is good but make sure to pair with your beer.

This place has an unusual mix of a modern industrial and vintage feeling which actually works really well. Nice open areas. Yummy beer and decent pizza. A comforting aroma of wort and pizza is cool. Popular with Cleveland Monsters fans who were all coming in for free pizzas. I like it!
