Created in 2009, Cleveland Beer Week is a nonprofit that brings awareness to the craft beer industry and promotes support and acknowledgement of local bars and restaurants. Since then, Cleveland Beer Week has donated more than $215,000 to local charities including the Malone Scholarship Fund, which helps qualified students with scholarship money to put towards college.

This year’s proceeds will go towards supporting the Cuyahoga County Animal Center and Rec2Connect.
