Cincinnati Brewing & Distilling Tasting Tour
Description
Join the Brewing Heritage Trail on this mostly indoor tour to learn about modern and historic brewing and distilling, but that’s not all, we’ll get to sample beverages and visit a 19th century underground lagering cellar along the way! The first stop on the tour is Northern Row Brewery and Distillery, where we’ll get a close-up look at their distilling process, followed by a spirit sampling. Next stop are the lagering cellars of the historic Jackson Brewery, where beer was fermented and cold stored dating back to the 1850s! We then head to the Rhinegeist Brewery, located inside a pre-Prohibition brewing structure, where we’ll take a behind the scenes tour of their modern and historic facility (stairs are required for part of the tour), concluding with a flight of their seasonal beverages. No other tour in the city offers historic and modern brewing and distilling, with an underground cellar exploration, so don’t miss out on this unique tour offered only by the Brewing Heritage Trail!

This is such a fun tour that combines Cincinnati history with booze! What more could you want? Our tour guide Kanah was friendly, knowledgeable, and answered any questions we had. He was also able to recommend other great spots to check out for food and drink. This was a great way to spend an afternoon in Cincinnati. Highly recommend!

On a hot day the cool cellars and the cool beer were welcomed. Great history from Jim. We had a great few hours. It was worth every cent.
Thanks so much for joining us on a tour and I'm glad to see you were able to keep cool on the tour! I'll be sure to pass along the compliment to Jim and hopefully we'll see again when you're back in Cincinnati!
Great historic information given during this tour. Lots of great details and overall fun tour. The distillery and brewery were both great and seeing the tunnels were very cool too. Very glad we did this tour, it was a great time.
Fantastic! Thanks so much for taking a tour with us and I'll be sure to let Brian, your Tour Guide, know that you had a great time!
Loved my brewery tour. The guide Lisa was very knowledgable and entertaining. The only downside was one of the guest was acting obnoxious and arguing with the tour guide. I will be recommending this tour to my friends and family.
Thanks for taking a tour with us and I'm so glad see you had a great time with Lisa! I'll be sure to let her know and hopefully we'll see you again on one of the other great experiences we offer!
The tour guide Lisa was rude to the attendees. Particularly if someone offered an incorrect answer, she did not manage that well. It is ok to offer a wrong answer or not know an answer, but at least acknowledge the person for trying and offering a good answer. Then redirect to what is correct. Don’t shame people or shut them down or call them out with wrong answers. We’ve joined this tour once before and the tour guide we had did a nice job. This was very disappointing. I would not want someone like Lisa doing anything customer facing.
Thank you for taking a tour with us and for sharing your experience. Lisa has been doing tours with us for many years and always gets great reviews from guests, so I find this very surprising. I'll be sure to share this review with her and have a follow up conversation, in order to make sure we're providing the best customer experience possible.
The tour was educational and enjoyable. Our hosts are very good at their job and made the tour fun. They were extremely knowledgeable about the beer industry and Cincy. My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour.
