The tour also dives into underground history, stopping at sites like the pre-Prohibition lagering facility of Lafayette Brewery and Cincinnati's abandoned subway system under Central Parkway. Venture underground to explore Gerke Brewery's fermentation and cold-storage cellars dating back to the 1850s.

Why go
