Cincinnati Brewing & Distilling Tasting Tour
Saturday, October 17 at Northern Row Brewery & Distillery, Cincinnati
About this event
Join the Brewing Heritage Trail for a two-and-a-half indoor tour, uncovering the rich history of brewing and distilling while savoring beverage samples and exploring a 19th-century underground lagering cellar. The journey begins at Northern Row Brewery and Distillery, where you'll witness their distilling process up close and sample their spirits. Next, explore the lagering cellar of the historic Jackson Brewery, navigating through underground passages where beer has been cold-stored since the 1850s. Afterward, visit Rhinegeist Brewery, housed in a pre-Prohibition brewing structure, for a behind-the-scenes tour of their modern and historic facility (stairs are required for part of the tour). Cap off your experience with a flight of their finest beverages. Don't miss out on this unique opportunity to experience historic and modern brewing and distilling, exclusively offered by the Brewing Heritage Trail! Please Note: This tour is primarily indoors, with a short walk of about one block between each location. The underground cellar you visit was excavated from a hillside, so no stairs are required to enter or exit. The tour includes a flight of beers from Rhinegeist and three spirit samples at Northern Row, or you can opt for a pint of their beer. For guests not drinking alcohol, a soft drink at each location will be provided. Brewing Heritage Trail recommends you buy your tickets in advance, as any tour without tickets sold 24 hours before the start time will be closed to inform the tour guides and taproom partners.
What to expect
The route starts at Northern Row Brewery & Distillery with a look at the distilling process and spirit samples, then continues into the historic Jackson Brewery lagering cellar, where underground passages were used for cold storage dating back to the 1850s. The tour finishes at Rhinegeist Brewery, inside a pre-Prohibition brewing structure, with a behind-the-scenes look at its modern and historic facility and a beverage flight.
Why go
This Brewing Heritage Trail experience is built for visitors who want Cincinnati beer history in the places where it happened, not just a taproom stop. It combines active production spaces, historic brewery architecture, an underground cellar, and guided tastings into one compact Over-the-Rhine tour, with soft drinks available for guests who are not drinking alcohol.
