USA, OH: Thirsty Dog Brewing Co.'s Flats brewery expected to be up and running in about two weeks

Thirsty Dog Brewing Co.'s Flats brewery, taproom and brewpub should be up and running in two weeks, owner John Najeway was quoted as saying by Cleveland.com on October 19.

The space covers 9,400 square feet - 6,900 inside and 2,500 outside. Najeway could call it a 20th anniversary present to himself, since he founded Thirsty Dog in 1997.

The Flats space is in the old Crop Rocks location, at 1075 Old River Road, Cleveland. It's next to Alley Cat and around the corner from Margaritaville.

Food will be "upscale pub fare," said Najeway, who is hopeful the many restaurants and bars will "feed off of each other" for traffic in the area.

Dishes also will incorporate Thirsty Dog beers, like raspberry-ale barbecue sauce.

"Almost everything we make will have Thirsty Dog beers in it," Milovanovic said.
