27 Best Craft Breweries near Erlanger

“Amazing evening! From the over 30 beers and meads on tap, to the delicious food truck, to the adorable interior decor, this has got to be the best brewery in northern KY, probably the greater Cincinnati area! Great vibes, good people, and delightful sensory experience from beginning to end.“

“Pretty nice little spot. They were out of pretty much all the food at the truck by the time we got there at 8pm on Friday night. The bar staff was amazing. The beer was pretty good too. Nice spot to stop along the way if you're going to multiple bars.“

“My partner and I tried this brewery right after we went to urban artifact, Right across the street! The vibe is wonderful! Super cozy and inviting ! Alicia (one of the owners) was super helpful and kind ! Can’t wait to come back ! The sour cherry seltzer and the farmhouse ale were amazing!“

“First time visit! Came to watch live music. If you love sour beers, this place is IT! I only tried the beer called "Capy Snacks" and I highly recommend. It's a fruit punch ale. Very neat place and the bartenders were friendly. Seems like they have a lot of different events they host. The outside part seems nice but it was unfortunately cold and rainy on my visit. Also, the bathrooms were really clean too! I would definitely come back.“

“Great selection of drinks. A full menu of at least 15 on tap plus mixed drinks. Beards and bellies also makes good bar food. We always get the bread pudding, the chocolate and caramel are heavenly. The beer cheese and pretzels are also good if you want something more salty than sweet. Good selection of soda for my husband who doesn't drink. Good place for families. Never had to wait for a table like going here in the summer too as there are picnic tables outside. Smoking is allowed. Wheelchair and stroller friendly.“

“Amazing beer, really nice staff and super super cool place, free fentanyl test kits and bucket of free tampons in the bathroom, absolutely amazing, like brand name Tampax tampons. Really shows they care about their customers. Real sense of community, and amazing beer. If you like beer and you're in Cincinnati this is a MUST“

“Great pizza and gluten free cauliflower crust options in a wood fired pizza oven! House brewed beers on tap and a local gluten free cider too. House made ginger ale is a must. Full bar with friendly staff. The Miller family has created a warm atmosphere in a historic Ludlow theatre and given life to the neighborhood with Circus Mojo. The show was awesome and the audience was given a chance to learn some moves too. This Saturday performance is perfect for families and friends. A great afternoon date idea as well. It's cool to see the brewery area behind the stage and feel the excitement of the Miller family's hospitality through Circus Arts, Brewed beers, and hand crafted pizza. I learned that Circus Mojo also offers: summer camps, children's classes and adult classes with a complimentary beer! Love it here and will definitely be back to share our experience with family and friends! Paul was hilarious as the Ring Master. You'll laugh and feel like you made a good choice to come.“

“We had a really fun evening at Listermann Brewing Company's beer and cheese pairing event. The pairing of four of their beers with Urban Stead Cheese Company had been thoughtfully chosen.A representative from both the Listermann and Urban Stead gave us some background on their businesses and then talked a little about each offering.We enjoyed all of the beers, but Chickow!, a Double Brown Ale with Hazelnut, was definitely our favorite. Hubby even bought some cans to bring home!Their restaurant is closed on Tuesdays, so perhaps we'll go back on another day of the week next time to check them out as well.“

“The beer is okay. Got the wings and they were awesome. The owner of the establishment welcomed us as we came into the building. He also seemed to be a really involved owner, bussing tables and getting patrons tasters.The Next Day Melee sauce also definitely has a great kick. Get it on the side with your wings and give it a shot.“

“This is my top brewery in the city for the beer and the vibe! Phenomenal German beers with some great twists. The gin is incredible as well (check out all their liquors). In an incredible old building with decor to match. FCC hooligans launch their march every game from this brewery! What else do I need to say!!!!(Except that our bartender Allie was incredible)“

“Very cool little spot in a “food truck park” on the river. Not busy on a Tuesday night but a cool place with great tap selections. Plus, they have a beer cooler for to-go options. Not a lot of seating inside (two small tables) but it was great and there are picnic tables and seating along the river galore.“

“Stopped by on a Sunday early afternoon to try a flight of brews. There are four choices to be made for this and I'll admit it took a little time as the offerings all sounded enticing. The service was friendly and knowledgeable. The ambiance is part urban and part warm wood feeling. Oh, and the brews- all that we sampled were excellent.“

“Had a sneak preview of Catch a Fire pizza that was just recently added to West Side Brewery. The pizza crust was authentically oven fire baked. We ordered the Constantine. It was deliciously made.We also ordered some wings with some great choices of sauces. The staff was fast and courteous taking our order and served it piping hot at our table. They know what they are doing and it will be a great asset to the brewery.“

“Certainly spoilt for choice in the area for beer but this place is highly recommended. Although you’ll find their Boston lager, the version served here is slightly different. Some nice small snacks available and make sure you have a beer in hand before trying the BBQ chips. Tours available and some merchandise available. Plenty of seating inside and out.“

“My Mr and I had some time to kill and wanted to grab a drink before the show (at the MegaCorp). We walked by Wooden Cask and with no hesitation, went in. So..it's been YEARS since we've been to the Levee and they definitely revamped this area. More stores, restaurants and libations! They too partake in the Banks atmosphere. Walk around the area with your drinks. This place is very small but has so much to offer. I've been to their original brewery (loved it), I was impressed that they've up their game. Now their serve their craft beers on tap, wine, mock tails, seltzers, bourbon, and food. Their food menu is very small. Flatbreads, wings and sandwiches. We didn't have time to try but I know we will be back. Overall a great experience. The bartenders were cool and pricing was definitely reasonable.“

“We had my sister's 40th Birthday party here. It's such a large space with huge bar , projection screens to watch games and a stage. We brought in a band and it was wonderful! We used their in house catering. Jackie was so easy to work with and very responsive.“

“Went on a Saturday night and parked in the restaurant paid lot. Easy to get in and out. I got the Munich sampler which had a little of everything and was delicious. The bar was opened while we waited. We sat in the section behind the live music, but could still hear it and have a conversation. Beer cheese was better than most local places and pretzels were also very good!“

“Top notch traditional brewed beers. Really love the flavor profiles and quality crafted beers. Big inside at with lots of seating. Outside by a marina and the river is cool. Always good truck and good food. Can packs Togo. Service is friendly and quick, always keeping it full.“

“Had the Tex Mex Burger and fries there yesterday. The burger was excellent and fries were off the charts. I really don't like to use superlatives like that, but they really were perfect. The restaurant is located right on the river walk, so it would be nice to eat/drink in the outdoor seating area when the weather is nice too.“

“Amazing beer.I had an issue with a couple of 15-packs of beer that I purchased… sent a quick email to alert of the issue. Not really seeking anything. Thought I’d get an apology and maybe a small response. They blew me away with care to resolve my issue, explained how it likely happened, apologized and all!Top notch, Braxton. Top notch.“

“This has become our go-to destination for great beer, cocktails and fun. The bartenders are knowledgeable and friendly. I'd put the old fashioned cocktail up against any other in the city. When it comes to beer selection, Barrel House always has a great combination of light lagers, sours, IPAs, and stouts. If you're looking for a place to become a regular--this is definitely it!“

“100% recommend! The I've been several times in the past to where I would highly recommend coming here. If you're looking for good food, great variety of brews, and fun atmosphere to hang with friends or family, this is your place! I'm a huge fan of their buffalo wings, loaded chips, and burgers! I was fortunate enough to be the first customer to have a pepperoni pizza off their new stove! It's good and can't wait to see what other kinds of variations happen with the new set up. The service was fantastic and workers were super accommodating. Look forward to when I go again!“

“Awesome beer! We ordered a flight and thought all of the selections were great.For food, we had the roast beef sandwich and the Midwestern chicken sandwich. Both were tasty. The roast beef was very tender and flavorful...I highly recommend it!“

“Since we quit drinking, BrewDog became a destination we wanted to try. As soon as the upstairs deck was opened, we headed up. It's a nice outdoor area. We ordered something to eat and had a few NA beers. I fell in love with Tornado Joe, a coffee flavored brew. Apparently it was not selling well. Because I loved it and ordered several while we were there, they ended up charging for fewer than I drank. They also let me take what they had leftover, no charge. They really wanted to get rid of them. Lucky me! I had a salad with chicken added. It wasn't extraordinary, but it was good. We enjoyed the ambiance upstairs and the beer and look forward to returning with friends when the weather gets better.“

“I found this place for wings since Madonna's had mechanical issues so they weren't open yet. Wings are cheap here 8 for $10 but they aren't very good. Skin was rubbery, should have been fried longer. This is a brewery and hopefully they are better at that. Madonna's and Lucius Q remain my favorite wing places downtown.“

“We were looking for an indoor dog friendly place. From the start, we had a great experience. Nick was awesome! He was taking care of several tables, but did not miss a beat. Nick made great drink suggestions, and even made time to bring our dog water and treats. Nick also found the basketball game we wanted to watch, and ensured it was on thr TV closest to us. The drinks are great, with reasonable prices. The vibe is cool and the service was amazing. Thank you Nick for making our night out with the dog, a big success. We appreciate you!“

“Came from northern Ohio to celebrate anniversary and decided to stop in as we’ve never been here before. The entire staff and management made the entire experience better than we could have imagined. It’s been a long time since I’ve had such a pleasant dining experience and it kind of saddens me that we are from out of town. Can’t praise high enough about the staff here. Thank you for making our anniversary special.“
