It’s time for another trip in the Watts Wayback Machine,
this one back to the Norman Rockwell-esque small college town of Grinnell, Iowa
and a place I visited a few times for a light dinner, and some “light”
drinking, while completing a work assignment in Grinnell. One might not expect to find one of the
town’s best drinking establishments inside a deli, but Lonnski’s Pub & Deli
pulls off both quite well.

Wandering through the Willoughby Brewing Company
My frequency of blog posts has clearly been lacking
lately, so let’s step onto the Watts Wayback Machine for a trip to Willoughby,Ohio and review one of my favorite finds during my working days in the
Cleveland area a while back.
Located very much on the outskirts of Cleveland’s eastern
ring of suburbs, Willoughby maintains much of the historic charm you might
expect from a lake community founded in 1798. The downtown area in particular is fun and
thriving, helped in no small part by the Willoughby Brewing Company. And as far as craft breweries go, the one in
Willoughby is a veteran of the scene, celebrating its 20th anniversary
in 2018.
Needless to say, the brewery got the attention of my
craft beer-loving co-workers, so despite Willoughby being off the beaten path
for us, we made repeat visits during our time working in the area.
What kept us coming back, you ask?
