Urban Artifact

this is my boyfriends all time favorite brewery. we have tried almost every beer and are always impressed. We love to come here for a quick stop or for a night out! they also have thc drinks available that are sooo good. We enjoyed playing games they offer during our visit! It seems they have events and karaoke, although we have not attended those yet

I've been a long time fan of tart fruit beers and we finally had an opportunity to visit this taproom. It's located in the basement of an old church, and has a brightly painted wall near the entrance. Inside is mostly wood with old confessionals in the corner. The women's bathroom had a ton of stalls and was stocked, which I always appreciate. When you first walk in there is a "store" area to the right with beer to take and merchandise. The bar is towards the back and has a wall with 12-15 on tap beers. I ended up ordering two flights of beer since I wanted to try everything. I lean towards a very tart and crisp beer. My all time OG favorite is the Spyglass, which is a lemon and lime golden sour ale. It wasn't on tap but available for purchase in a mixed pack. I tried a bunch Peer, Kilobyte, Gadget, Fire Iron, Bushel, Teak, Pickle, Dyne and more. Loved them all, some more than others. I can't wait to go back to load up. If you're a fan or tart fruit beers, or not, it's definitely worth a trip to check it out.

You want to experience the best beer in Cincinnati? You've found the place! Friendly staff. Great ambiance. Eclectic vibe. Always something new to try.

Really cool spot! We are not huge sour fans, but they had some really interesting ones! Ask for the tour of the music venue and the wedding space. Too cool! Emily was awesome! Also dog friendly for now!

I showed up for the Meat Raffle (amazing event, 5 star recommend) - I had the BEST service. Not only does everyone greet you, but they actively talk to you about their beer and walk around to check on how you are doing. I will always recommend Urban Artifact. Even if you dont like sour beer, the service and atmosphere is always fun and lively.

Tried Urban Artifact for the first time and 10/10. They have such a selection of very different flavors and combinations so there is always something new to try. It is also located inside an old church, which is very cool. I especially love their outside area so you can really take in the unique location. They also have a firepit for those colder nights as well as games to play while you are drinking. So excited to see what they have to offer the next time I am in Cinci. I am a big fan and will be back for sure!

I can't believe I haven't written a review for UA yet! This is my favorite local brewery in Cincy (and maybe my favorite brewery ever?) How cool is it that this is located in an old church?!? You can always count on Urban Artifact for fun flavors -- and I'd argue that all of their unique offerings are delicious!! I've had nitro infused beers and beers with random herbs and spices elsewhere ... but the execution isn't always on point. Whereas with UA - I've never met a brew I didn't enjoy. During our most recent visit, we tried their elusive Pickle Beer. This special brew is only offered during the month of December -- and it's one we will definitely be stocking up on. It's a savory, sour beer without being overwhelming -- and you can really pick up on the dill. Another fun perk of visiting the taproom is their game selection! My husband and I love a good board game night -- and they have something for any size group to enjoy. We stuck with Battleship, which we've decreed to be the perfect two player game. UA -- thanks for being an awesome addition to the Cincy brewery scene. We'll be back to see you again soon!

Loved this brewery just a bit outside of the city. The bartender was so friendly and helpful when finding a beer we liked. I love sours, which is what they specialize in. My husband doesn't like them as much, but still found a beer he really enjoyed. It's in an old church which is really cool. HighlyRecommend!!

Updated review since the business owner stated they took Amex and have since 2015: it was your bar staff when I was there in 2021 who said you didn't take AmEx. Still haven't been back, still won't now that this arrogant owner incorrectly refuted me.

Thank god places like this exist! Converted church into brewery? Yes please! And here I thought I would never go to church again lol. Beers are tart which is not my thing but they do sell other bottle beers for people like me. I was here for an women's day event selling my macrame art and it went so well! Vendors and visitors all had smiles on their faces. Maybe it's cuz we can day drink?!My favorite part is the smell of the church especially when they have a bonfire going in the back yard and the smell comes into the inside. Heaven! And I never thought I get there ;)Plenty of street parking but can fill up quickly so go early if you can.
