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.

One of my favorite breweries in town in terms of product. The layout at the taproom isn't the most ideal but it's nice all around. Always pop in for a visit when I can. 10/10 recommend.

My husband and I enjoy stopping by for a drink or two at Brink Brewing. They have good beer and a good selection of different types of beer. The brewery itself is well decorated and inviting. Their outside patio is dog friendly which is fun during the warmer months.

Great selection of beers, with more dark beers than most Cincy craft breweries. Seating inside, as well as outside, which is pet friendly. However, be careful bringing your cat because they may knock over your delicious stout as you take their photo.

Had the ESB, Wee Heavy, and Porter. The ESB redeemed this place. The Wee Heavy isn’t smoke-forward, the Porter was vegetal. The ESB was clean and crisp and full-bodied effervescent. The beer-tender could be more attentive, but I was “fighting” for his attention with obvious locals, so there’s that. Wife thinks it’s because I didn’t stand under the order here sign? Oh well.

★★★☆☆ Quality★★★★★ Service★★★★☆ Ambiance★★★★★ Value★★★★★ Menu selection★★★★★ Location/Accessibility★★★★★ Overall experienceDate visited: 10/24/2023In celebration of an utterly ordinary October evening, I extended an invitation to my friend MW for a leisurely outing. With her longing to explore the neighborhood gem, Brink Brewing, we embarked on an adventure. The clock read 7 PM as we commenced our journey, and a gentle autumn breeze enveloped us in its embrace. The streets, surprisingly calm for a Tuesday night, beckoned us forward on our quest. The realization that sustenance was not on the brewery's agenda prompted us to make a pit stop at a nearby pizzeria. Armed with pizza slices in hand, we entered the establishment, anticipating a relaxed and inviting night. However, upon crossing the threshold, we were met with a bustling scene – tables and the bar were alive with laughter and animated conversations. In the hunt for a suitable spot, we settled near the entrance, where a trove of empty chairs awaited our companionship. Given my abstinence from alcohol and the impending responsibility of driving, I opted for Samuel Adams Just the Haze Non-Alcoholic beer. MW, on the other hand, boldly sampled the Brinktober and later indulged in the delight of Moozie Milk Stout. While MW attended to the bar counter, I seized the opportunity to soak in the atmosphere of this quaint refuge. The ambiance was an enchanting blend of darkness and warmth, with soft, ambient lighting that cast a comforting glow. The wall decorations, thoughtfully arranged, appeared almost whimsical, featuring a melange of real-life photos, whimsical cartoons, and intriguing graphics. In this cozy space, every inch was thoughtfully utilized, maximizing capacity with strategically arranged tables and chairs. The bar counter stood as the focal point, offering a glimpse into the brewing process with barrels and tanks brimming with fresh, untapped promise. Beyond, an outdoor seating area beckoned those in search of an al fresco experience. A spirited yet subdued tune played in the background, weaving a melodic tapestry that enhanced the evening's mood without intruding on conversation. We settled into our chosen corner, sharing not only food and drink but the stories of our respective journeys. I regaled MW with tales of my fresh career beginnings, while she animatedly narrated riveting moments from her sports endeavors and the captivating new hobby that had ignited her passion. Our choice of LaRossa's medium traditional-crust pizza, bedecked with succulent mushrooms and crisp green peppers, paired effortlessly with our drinks – each bite, a culinary waltz in harmony with the beverages. My non-alcoholic choice, while decent, lacked the characteristic alcoholic fervor I've known to savor. However, self-inflicted restrictions left me with no room for complaint. MW, while appreciating her two choices, displayed a sense of unimpressed sophistication, perhaps a testament to a lifetime spent indulging in high-end, exotic liquors. As we immersed ourselves in conversation, a male voice resounded in the room, introducing an engaging trivia game. The enthusiasm of the patrons was palpable, with clapping and laughter filling the air. Although MW and I were immersed in our exchange, traces of sports and music-related questions found their way to our ears, injecting an extra layer of mirth into the evening. With our drinks drained and our hunger sated, we decided to bid adieu an hour before the closing bell, yet not before I ventured to the impeccably clean restroom inside the bar. As I returned to the bustling scene, the chill of the night had set in, coaxing nocturnal creatures from their sanctuaries. With smiles and a sense of contentment, we parted separate ways.Overall, this cozy brewery, though modest in size, emerges as an excellent choice for mingling with friends and colleagues. It boasts a diverse selection of libations, making it a destination to savor.

What do you do when you go to a brewery? You have a beer! Make a point of checking out Brink Brewing because the beer is FANTASTIC! Quite the variety to choose from. I'm a dark beer kind of guy and their porter and selections of stouts is wonderful. Pick any one and you will NOT be disappointed.Also, they have a happy hour from 3-6. (Not many breweries do). As far as service, John was great. Willing to let us try anything and talk about the beers. They were working on the back patio area when we were there but plenty of room on the inside. They let you bring in great Mexican food from 2 doors down. Absolutely one of the BEST breweries in Cincinnati.
A nice brewery with indoor/outdoor seating. It's great that they offer to go growlers in cans. Duclan Clan Wee Heavy is my favorite so far, On the Brink IPA was good too.

Shockingly good. I moved to New England to Kentucky a year ago, and they have two of the best NEIPAs I have had in the area. Other beers are shockingly on point. I don't think this place has picked up proper hype yet, but it is one of the best breweries in terms of quality and variety that I have ever visited.

Not a bad place for a beer. Went here with my new second wife when we were courting. Would definitely go back next time I'm in Cincy, which may be a while.
Benjamin
Great beers with a nice range of IPAs, stouts, wheats, sour, saisons, and pilsners. Enjoyed all our beers in three different flights. Casual space with a nice bar; plenty of seating - indoor or patio for all sizes of groups. Order food from nearby eateries. Friendly and insightful staff. A definite place to visit.

Definitely a nice local spot for me with indoor and outdoor seating. Jazz night is every other Wednesday. My friend's son is the Bass player and wow, these guys are talented!You can go next door for Mexican or bring food from home or another restaurant. Sometimes there are good trucks. The beers are the hits here! In the heat of the summer they are serving a cool lime lager and a tropical lager. But they still have about 4 powerful dark beers (stouts) in summer!!Games are available to play and plenty of seating. Staff is great!
