Cleveland/Akron brewerys and beer stores

[skerrydude]

I have an interview upcoming in Akron and will be visiting friends in Cleveland. Any recommendations on places to go? I will have Sunday available. Best brewpub to visit? A decent beer store nearby? I am looking to load up on some good OH beer, that I do not get around here in NY.

Cheers!

Oh and the Beer Engine in Lakewood is awesome! Not a brewery but a pub. They have a fantastic selection and great staff who can help suggest local brews.

The Boneyard and Winking Lizard in downtown Cleveland.

I'll second Fat Heads and Hoppin Frog. While Hoppin' Frog doesn't offer regular tours or taproom they were pretty friendly folk when I visited a while back, just call in advance. West End Market in Akron probably has the best selection down there as a bottle shop, I haven't been to any in Cleveland to recommend.
