Matt – Beer Guide
Tell us about yourself!
Cleveland native who loves northeast Ohio. Natural entertainer who loves meeting people, sharing fun experiences, and exploring local breweries and businesses. I create original music and podcasts, teach digital media and videography, and enjoy working out.
Favorite beer(s)?
I can’t handle bitter flavors — at all! So I lean heavily on shandies, sours (the sourer the better), ciders, hefeweizens and wheats, and any beer that has a fruit situation going on.
What is your favorite story from a City Brew Tour?
My favorite tours have to include when I took out a self-described “younger version of The Golden Girls.” Talk about a core memory!
Why do you love being a Beer Guide?
I love finding out what guests love and dislike and challenging them. “Oh, you like stouts? Try this Coffee Stout from Goldhorn that’s iconic.” Or we roll into Terrestrial and they have a PB&J infusion tower — I like when guests say, “I would never have tried that outside of this tour, but I’m so glad I got to try it with you.”
What do you love the most about your city’s beer scene?
I love the diversity you have in Cleveland’s beer scene! We have giant production facilities to small mom-and-pop beers. With 4.3 million people living in Northeast Ohio, we have a giant collection to choose from!
What’s your favorite thing to do in your free time?
I’m a content creator and artist by trade, so I always have projects going on. Currently working on a couple manuscripts, my next album, a sitcom project, three other podcast projects…yeah, my free time quickly becomes passion project time!
What’s an interesting fact about you?
I’m a wedding officiant — and I got to marry two of my good friends on a public beach wedding. My skills were so good that my sermon made strangers cry on the sand!
