We recently took the Brewing & Distilling Tasting Tour and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Our tour guide (I don't recall his name) is a history major, so was very knowledgable about Cincinnati history, not limited to just brewing & distilling.It was a cold day with a little rain, so this particular tour was nice since it's mostly indoors. We started at Northern Row for a little tour of their distillery and then some spirits tasting. I appreciate that our tour guide offered a beer instead of the spirits for those of us who preferred that. We then got to go in the historic lagering tunnels before finishing our tour behind the scenes at Rhinegeist. The tour concluded with a flight of Rhinegeist beers.At over 2.5 hours, I felt like the tour was too long, but I imagine those really interested in brewing and/or history would think the length was fine.

Great tour. I've done multiple Cincinnati lagering tunnel tours, and one of the nice things about this one is that there are no stairs, so although the terrain is uneven, it can be managed by most if they're careful where they're walking.We started this tour nearly fifteen minutes late because one of the groups had multiple members who had gone inside the market house to look around and simply didn't bother to appear on time. It was really frustrating to have to stand around in the sun waiting for rude people to show up. I know it's a difficult situation for the tour operator, so I'm not taking a star off, but honestly events should start on time. If rude people are late, that should be their problem. Waiting for them rewards them and punishes those who show up on time.

Interesting tour and our tour guide, Jacob, was knowledgeable. I guess I was expecting something a little different. The Brewers & Barons tour we took was in a sketchy part of town. We stopped at some old, abandoned breweries and bottling companies and were told some history about them. We got to walk through the tunnel that goes under the street, but couldn't go up on the other side because it's now private residence. Something different to do if you're interested in the history of the breweries in Cincinnati.

Had a wonderful tour on a Sunday afternoon with Canan as our tour guide ! Very informative and interesting. Walked a bit, in the rain, but it was worth it. Ended tour with a pint at the OTR Stillhouse. Can't wait to try one of the other tours !

Our friends group was interested in a brewery tour in Cincinnati. We booked the Dark Side of Brewing with Lisa. Lisa was extremely knowledgeable and paced our tour with interesting Cincinnati history including tales of grave robbing, serial killing, and other dark events. We were a full tour and I was able to hear and enjoy every bit of it. Our tour lasted close to 2 hours and we were able to see the underground cellar and historic theater. Highly recommended!

Lisa does a great and informative tour for the "Built on Beer" tour. Even if you have been to Cincy before, worth the tour.
