Brews on Tues: New brewery in Collinwood

A new brewery is now slinging suds in North Collinwood.

State of play: Two Friends Brewing opened Friday on East 185th Street, next to The Standard Restaurant.

• It's the latest project from Dan Malz, who previously worked at Portside Distillery and Brewery in the Flats.

One fun thing: The "two friends" in the name refer to Malz and his partner Ozimba Anyangwe.

• Per Cleveland Scene, they met while working as chemists for the Cleveland Division of Water.

What they're saying: Local restaurateur Sam McNulty — who owns Market Garden and Nano Brew on West 25th — gushed in an online review.

• He writes: "You are going to love this brewery ... the beer runs the gamut from crisp pilsners to big beasty IPA and everything in between."
• The owners "are clearly a talented and fastidious team of brewers. And they're just awesome dudes all around."

Stop by: It's open 3-11pm Tuesday through Thursday, with extended hours on Friday and Saturday.

• Eat before you go. The brewery doesn't have a restaurant on site.
