6 Canton Brews to Try
Coffee
M&H Beans Coffee Co. & Roastery
Owned and operated by husband-and-wife duo Hannah and Mike Moyer, M&H Beans Coffee Co. & Roastery is truly a labor of love — sourcing beans from four continents and roasting them in house.

Sample a cinnamon roll or honey lavender latte ($4.95-$6.35), savor a seasonal coffee flight ($17), taste an English muffin sandwich ($5.35) or try a new favorite: Ohio Roasting’s maple cinnamon pumpkin latte ($5.75-$6.75). 4870 Frank Ave. NW, North Canton, 330-526-8505, ohioroasting.com

Even the brewery’s yeast blends are custom, from Omega Yeast in Chicago, producing offerings like East Bank ($4-$10) — which tastes of Tootsie rolls and malted milk balls — and Doubletree Yoke ($4.50-$10.50), which boasts flavors of caramel and light fruit. Order from its full menu, which offers pizzas, chicken sandwiches and a brewhouse pretzel ($14), with beer cheese and lager mustard. Pair the latter with Fellowship’s Finest ($4-$10): Notes of dark chocolate, caramel and espresso offer fall flavor. 115 S. Mill St., Louisville, 330-871-8021, unhitched.beer
