Running has been such a part of my life these past few years it has now become more of a routine than a hobby. I rely on my running routine for so much in addition to trying to stay somewhat healthy. I use it as a reason to get off my behind and get out to enjoy nature. I consider it my meditation to melt away stress. I use it as a muse when I am in a creative block.
As the years have passed (I have been regularly running for 10 years), I now using running as a social tool. I have started to get to know other runners since I have joined some running clubs here in the Cleveland area. These groups have not only introduced me to some wonderful new friends but have taken me on routes and journeys through the city and surrounding areas that I would have never experienced on my own.
Of all the training runs and group outings we do, the ones that I love most are the “Brewery Runs.” Here in the city of Cleveland and the surrounding suburbs, there has been a surge of new breweries popping up and the craft/microbrew scene is bigger than ever. Our brewery runs usually start at a local brewery and will have an area mapped out (usually a 5k or 10k) for us to run ending up back at that brewery for a cold one and some laughs.
I thought I would share a list of local breweries that we have visited that are within walking distance or a quick cab/uber ride – or even a run! – from the downtown hotels and the convention center, the home of Content Marketing World. A special hat tip to my friend and fellow runner Pete Grasso for helping me compile the list!
