13 Below Brewery

Gravensteen beer was a great hit. Wife enjoyed her wheat beer. The aroma of the beer had just a little of that "brew day" smell - fresh and irresistible. Bock is also good and surprisingly refreshing despite the heavier body of the style.I was here a few years ago - 13 below has definitely have improved their brew craft and has made a compelling flavor argument for me to find an excuse to come to the west side more often. Great parks for hiking nearby.

Not many of my favorite types of beer here. Came here to sample a pint of whatever they had IPA wise, but discovered I had already had them in a can. So I went for the Coconut Blonde - Latte which was light and subtle of coconut late notes, as one would expect. We arrived when the doors opened at 4pm and were rewarded with 5$ pint happy hour which was most welcoming! Inside it's roomy with ample bar and tables seating. I thought you might be able to see the Ohio River from inside but there were no windows to that venue, would have been nice to see the River barges go by.

Decent selection. Staff was friendly. I had the Octoberfest and it was pretty good.

First time coming to this brewery. I had no idea when I was walking up to the door what the inside was like. We were warmly greeted by the lady behind the bar. Since this was our first time, she guided us to some beers to try. We chose the smaller size first just to get a taste of the beers. I don't know what my wife had but mine was something something red. It had grenadine, we liked it so much, I went back for the 6 ounce. The rest of my family enjoyed their beers. I ordered the Philly cheesesteak and chips from the food truck, parked in the front. My wife had the smoked wings and shoestring fries. My cheesesteak could have had a smidge more flavor, more kick. Nice interior, the back has more space out back.

We loved hanging out inside 13 Below Brewery with our dog. They do offer food from their BBQ food truck. The brewery is large with ample seating for large to small groups. They offer a range of beers from light to dark and offer "beer"tails and seltzers. We enjoyed a flight of beers each. The staff was so friendly. We met Dick, the VP of brewing, who talked about the company history and his love of beer. Our dog was greeting with lots of love. Please check them out!!

I attended a fundraiser here the other weekend. It seems to be a great venue to host an event, there was also a birthday party happening that afternoon. I ordered a Submerged, it was pretty good, looking forward to trying more options at my next visit.

13 Below has been open for a few years now and I'm not sure why it has taken me so long to leave a review because I absolutely love this brewery. 13 Below used to be a wedding reception hall and they pay homage to that with a placard on the wall showing the previous digs. They actually even still host weddings at the brewery, which is pretty cool. There are also other items around there brewery, like the beer can wall that show much of Cincinnati's brewing history. They often have music acts, trivia, singo, and more at the brewery as well, which makes for a nice and entertaining evening. You can also choose to sit inside the brewery or outside in either front or back of the brewery. To make it better, dogs are always welcome! The staff is super friendly and they host a running club at Fernbank Park and throughout Sayler Park. They are avidly involved in the community and you can tell they really have a passion for area... and for beer! Which brings me to my next point. The beer, of course! They have some really unique and delicious brews down here that are wonderfully named after the area in which they a brewed, again paying homage to the rich history of the area. Think Lock & Dam, Wedding Day, and Fernbank. I grew up in Sayler Park on Fernbank Avenue, so I really enjoy their pride in the area and their love for Sayler Park. If you're hungry they also have Incline Smoke Shack there every day ready to serve wings, sandwiches, appetizers, and more. The food is fantastic and they often times have deals such as $10 for a pound of wings and a beer. I also have to comment on how responsible and safe they have been during the pandemic. When things first locked down for the pandemic, we would go down to 13 Below to get growlers filled and they were always extremely safe and cleanly, more so than any other place we went to. Since things have opened back up they have continued to serve our wonderful little community with health and safety as one of their very most important priorities. If you haven't visited 13 Below yet, you really should! Grab a beer, grab a seat, and enjoy the evening.

Great beers and now with the addition of the incline BBQ shack you can enjoy barbecue sandwiches and some pretty darn good craft beer. I enjoyed the Red and the Porter along with killer bacon barbecue sauce on the Pulled Pork. Friendly staff both inside and out, plenty of room to spread out in these Covid days!

I really enjoyed our visit to 13 Below over the holiday season. We were hitting a few Breweries on a Saturday afternoon. Starting from the Eastside, we headed to 13 Below (named that because it's 13 miles 'below' Cincinnati on the river - did not know that!) first. We arrived not long after they opened, so the place was largely empty. We grabbed a couple stools at the bar and the staff helped us choose a "flight-plus" - flights are 4, we wanted to try 6, they had no problem with that. The beers were all good - none disappointed. The staff was super friendly and happy to talk about beer, as most craft brewery employees are. I stopped over by the food window to check out the menu for the permanent BBQ food truck that serves there. I was hoping to check out their chicken wings. Unfortunately this was currently a football-Sunday only option, though she did say they were thinking about adding it full time and also that if I needed a catering order, they were happy to do that any time. Good to know, if only I lived a little closer! All around, this is a great place. As someone else noted, the beers here are about a buck cheaper than most of the craft breweries in town. I like to see when a local business knows their customer base and serves up what they want. Well done, 13 Below!

Staff was not helpful or friendly. It took five tastings to find one I liked!!Comfortable seating and a cool breeze!!
