Cleveland always seems to be the butt of jokes by comedians (many of whom, by the way, are native Clevelanders themselves: Bob Hope, Jimmy Brogan, Drew Carey, Tim Conway, Patricia Heaton, Molly Shannon are names that immediately come to mind). What outsiders don't know is that native Clevelanders are even harder on themselves than national comedians--we have a wicked self-deprecating humor, stoked by our evil weather and miserable economic conditions, among other things.
We do have some things in Cleveland that are the best in the world, believe it or not. We have the best beer, brewed by the Great Lakes Brewing Company in the West 25th/ St. Ignatius High School/ Westside Market area of town. Try Edmund Fitzgerald Porter or Burning River Pale Ale or Eliot Ness Amber Lager or Commodore Perry IPA. Here's a link to their website, which showcases all their brews: http://www.greatlakesbrewing.com/.
