Urban Artifact Brewery • $

“I’ve hosted events at this venue and had a wonderful experience. Kind and professional staff, great atmosphere. If you like sours, there’s no place that does it like Urban Artifact. They have the best selection with a ton of variety and seasonal options. I’ve yet to try one that I haven’t liked, but Teak is my go-to favorite.“

Rhinegeist Brewery Brewery • $$
1910 Elm St, Cincinnati

“The best beer and spot in Cincinnati for sure. A must when visiting at least once. During summer, the rooftop is a great way to watch the sun go down and start the night.Beer is amazing, people are friendly, the beer is great, the space is unique, the beer is sooo darn tasty, the prices are good and the beer. That “Knowledge” beer is a monument to kraft greatness for sure.Go. Don't hesitate. Go, enjoy, and be happy. You will not regret it, but you'll remember it.“

“Decided to stop here on our trip with our 2 kids, 5 and 3. The staff were all very friendly and the food and beer were great. We used the QR code to order food and drinks from my phone and it worked great. We tried the dill pickle pizza and the kids had chicken tenders and fries, and it was all fantastic. The staff brought our kids a paper with a scavenger hunt on it. It was not easy, even for an adult, but my kids loved it and it gave them something to do. I found myself looking around for the stuff just as much as my kids. The owner ended up helping us find a couple of the items and he was super friendly and talked to us for a bit. I would definitely go back!“

Fretboard Brewing Company - Blue Ash Brewery • $$
5800 Creek Rd, Cincinnati

“Have eaten here about 7 times. Every time the food meets expectation and is absolutely delicious. Typically get the pulled pork sandwich. I got the tater tots last time and they are to die for, if you're a tater totter like myself.Great pairing with Fretboard Brewery products. Also like that its inside the building, making it convenient. Friendly staff so far, and plan to go back when I get the chance.Grabbed the Flying Pig sandwich last trip. So good. It's fairly sloppy so you'll need a fork. Gonna be my go-to from now on.“

Northern Row Brewery & Distillery Brewery • $$

“Local brewery and distillery close to Findlay Market. Focus on German style beer and clear spirits like rum and vodka. You can see the production area from the inside. An outdoor patio is available for warmer spring days to come.The menu is bar friendly. The Loaded Tots were very good. Unfortunately, I ate them all before, I thought to take a picture. ?“

Brink Brewing Company Brewery • $
5905 Hamilton Ave, Cincinnati

“This place came recommended from the brewer at another local brewery and it did not disappoint! The first flight consisted of their IPAs and their award winning stout, all of which were very good but the real standout to me was their King Cake Spiced Ale. This beer was very unique and absolutely delicious, I’ve never tasted a beer quite like it. They also had lemon bundt cake and coffee cake variants that were fantastic. I highly recommend checking out this brewery.“

Esoteric Brewing Co. Brewery •
918 E McMillan St, Cincinnati

“While visiting my daughter & son-in-law in Cincinnati (from San Diego), they took me to one of their favorite places, Esoteric. It was in the middle of the day on a rainy Friday. It was more of an order and take out kinda day. However, we ate in the restaurant. I ordered the cauliflower, kimchi and a Tequila Tango. The cauliflower was tasty, light and delicious. The kimchi had that little "kick" (spicy) but not too much. The ambience was casual and welcoming. I was here during a previous visit, in the evening and it had a larger crowd I but did not eat food. I would highly recommend this place.“

Samuel Adams Cincinnati Taproom Brewery • $$
1727 Logan St, Cincinnati

“The outdoor seating at this location looks amazing. I wish it would have been warm enough to take advantage of it. We sat at the bar and ordered a flight of taproom exclusives. They also have the staple Sam Adam's beers you are used to seeing along with a small food menu. The inside has plenty of seating and the service was great!“

Listermann Brewing Company Brewery • $$
1621 Dana Ave, Cincinnati

“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.“

MPH Brewing Brewery • $$
7880 Remington Rd, Cincinnati

“You can go anywhere for a beer, but it's a lot harder to find one with the key ingredient that makes a beer so special. It's not water, or barley, or hops. It's community. And to me, that is what MPH is all about-- sharing great beer in great company. Love this place!“

“We visited 9 Giant BC(before covid) and it was good but not special. We returned today and were pleasantly surprised. Very rarely does a microbrewery get better.If you are lucky a good one stays consistent and the rest get worse over time.Tasted all 10 on tap and every one was high quality. Not all my taste, but the Belgian wit, the west coast ipa and the Dunkel were outstanding.Congratulations and we wish you continued success!“
