Two Friends Brewing The last time we checked in with Dan Malz, he was brewing beer (and distilling spirits) at Portside in the Flats. He left that outfit in 2016 (it closed in 2017) and he’s quietly been plotting his return ever since. Almost a decade later, he’s back with Two Friends Brewing in Collinwood. Malz’s partner in the project is Ozimba Anyangwe. The two met while working as chemists for the Cleveland Division of Water. The brewery is located next door to The Standard in a space that was previously home to the Cleveland Brewery. But the new tenants expanded into the adjoining space to create a spacious 100-seat bar. Beer lovers can look forward to a wide variety of beers, including pilsners, kölsches, stouts, pale ales, IPAs and seasonals. Fans of Portside’s exceptional 216 Pale Ale can expect a similar concoction, says Malz. Credit: Douglas Trattner
