Wow, such good toasts! Thanks for entering and putting some thought to this. Christine Montague, the woman behind Beer Week, has picked the winners: Molly and Jeremy. Congratulations and enjoy the night. I'll be in touch with your tickets.

*THIS* is why I work!
Prosit!

Craft brews in Cleveland?
It may sound insane.
But if you get our city,
You know they’re one in the same.

We’re small, unappreciated
By those not in the know.
Trying to make it as the little guy,
With much room to grow.

But with flavor, and love,
And complexity so great.
Raise a craft brew to Cleveland,
For the future awaits!

I raise this pint
And propose a toast
To the very first brew week
On the North Coast

The baseball is over
The Browns make me swear
The weather is dismal
But let’s not despair

Because October now is
A month to embrace
As we spend this week savoring
That great beer taste!

As Clevelanders, we are fortunate
We get the best brew from East to West
But we know the Great Lakes Region
Is better than the rest

From Buckeye, Bells and Hoppin Frog
To Great Lakes, Fat Heads and New Holland
Let's welcome beer fans everywhere
To Beer Week here in Cleveland

I have an old friend
Who’s always there
When the Browns cannot score
And good weather is rare

Although his name changes
And he may be red, yellow or brown
It’s easy to find him
At bars all over town

When they ask for my order
I just smile and wink
Point to the taps
And say “That’s what I’ll drink”

So here’s to you beer
I’ll save you a seat
As I toast to our friendship
At Cleveland Brew Week

Man, Adam's looks hard to beat...but here's my shot downfield:

To Beer Week-because if it was "Beer Year", I'd never sleep.

And now for a toast
to a city so grand
Let's drink the best beers
from our local land

Lets take time to salute
It's our turn to be proud
What makes Cleveland stand out?
We have the best brews around

Cheers to good friends and great beer,
Prost to those that we hold dear,
Salut to good times yet to come,
Skol and drink for everyone.

Behold Cleveland Beer Week!
Let us toast to the first!
Dortmunder, Blonde Bobshell
You’ll all quench our thirst!

Events full of tastings,
great food, song and dance.
We’ll drink ‘til we’re merry
(but we won’t pee our pants)

Here’s to hops, here’s to barley
Here’s to fermenting the yeast!
We’ll cruise down Euclid Ave
to East Fourth Street to feast!

So come far and wide
To our city so fair.
Cleveland, dear Cleveland
And beer, what a pair!

Oh Great Lakes, and your Dortmunder
To Fat Head's, and your Head Hunter
Oh Indigo Imp, so glad you're around
And Buckeye, your beers are a gem to be found

Now Hoppin' Frog and Thirsty Dog, yes you're from Akron
But during Cleveland Beer Week, we hope you're ready to make it happen!

Beer and Food
What better way to feast
Except for maybe
The Steelers being beat

To Cleveland, O Cleveland, great town with great brews.
Just what I need to soften the news
of our Browns and our Tribe in perpetual snooze.
Let's all raise a glass, and hope the Cavs never lose!

Let us have Fatheads and women,
Great Lakes and laughter,
Sermons and Lucky's brunch the day after.
