"Built on Beer" Walking Tour

Overview

Starting at the Brewing Heritage Trail Sign at Findlay Market, this brewing history and architecture tour walks the western portion of the Brewery District, marveling at the many remaining 19th and early 20th century structures and sharing stories of those who built or doomed these brewing empires during beer’s industrial revolution.

Tours include a visit into the subterranean lager cellars of the historic (non-operating) Jackson Brewery, as well as outdoor visitation to the Sohn/Mohawk Brewery, several Christian Moerlein sites, and the location of the Bellevue Incline. The Jackson Brewery cellars were excavated from the hillside under the brewery, so we enter from street level and there are no stairs to climb going in or out, making these cellars very accessible and the total walking distance of this tour is less than a mile.

At the tour conclusion, we stop in at a neighborhood taproom for a pint of local beer, included with each ticket!

We went on the tour with Aaron. He was very knowledgeable and engaging. We were all very entertained, and if possible he is great to have a beer with.

Thanks for taking a tour with us Travis and I'm so glad you had a great time! It's always fun when we get to stop in at one of the local taprooms and try some of their beer. Hopefully I'll see you all again soon!

We enjoyed walking back in history to actual breweries and having the history explained by knowledgeable guides. What a great tour!

Lisa was outstanding! We are lifelong Cincinnatians and learned several interesting facts, saw our city in a new way and introduced us to a fantastic new place called Northern Row! If you are new to Cincinnati or have been here all your life get some family members together and check this out!
