9 Breweries You Absolutely Can’t Miss in Cincinnati
If you’re an ale-quaffing, porter-tasting, red-guzzling, lager-slugging, red-blooded American (recently transplanted or otherwise), then you’re lucky to be hanging your hat in Cincinnati. Cincinnati has an old tradition of beer crafters. Even back in the 1870s, Cincinnati had over 40 breweries! But why all the breweries at that time, when Cincinnati was far from the sprawling metropolis it is today? Simple. The original settlers where predominantly German – which is really all the explanation you need. Here are 9 can’t-miss breweries in Cincinnati. 1. Urban Artifact A local craft brewery with a historical twist, Urban Artifact is housed beneath St. Patrick’s Catholic Church. Under the awesome, classical architecture, the Urban Artifact hosts live music almost every night, and pours their delectable craft brews into grateful cups.

My favorite beer was definitely the Owler, a tart vanilla brown with a punchy start and a smooth backend. 2. The Woodburn With a recently restored taproom and a veritable bouquet of alluring craft beers, the Woodburn is a spot any beer-lover is going to want to hit while they’re in Cincinnati. If […]
