Cincinnati Brewery History Walking Tour 2 hr

Cincinnati’s brewing past comes to life among the brick landmarks of the Brewery District. On this two-hour Cincinnati brewery history walking tour, follow the western stretch of the district and hear how the people behind its brewing empires shaped the city during beer’s industrial revolution.

Along the way, admire 19th- and early 20th-century buildings, including sites connected to Sohn, Christian Moerlein, and the Bellevue Incline. The route also leads into the historic Jackson Brewery’s underground lagering cellars, excavated into the hillside and reached from street level without stairs. With less than a mile of walking, the tour offers an easy-paced way to take in the neighborhood’s architecture and stories.

The experience begins at Findlay Market’s Brewing Heritage Trail sign and wraps up at a local taproom, where a beer or soft drink is included. Discover the history beneath Cincinnati’s streets, then raise a glass to its brewing heritage.
