The Hocking Hills is a utopia for beer lovers! There are many fantastic breweries to choose from, some of which have earned awards for their craft selections. As a guest at the Inn & Spa at Cedar Falls, the most convenient of these breweries is Brewery 33 in Logan, OH. This new local treasure provides Appalachian-style beer while honoring the German heritage. While you indulge in craft beers like Cranberry Gose and Rock House Red, the kids can enjoy homemade cream soda and root beer! That way, everyone in the family has something new to try!
