Cincinnati Brewery History Tour 90 min

Step into Cincinnati’s brewing past at the Bruckmann Brewery, a remarkably complete 19th-century brewery complex with a history stretching back to 1856. This 90-minute Cincinnati Brewery History Tour takes you inside a site that has rarely been open to visitors.

Explore surviving buildings including the brewhouse, malthouse, bottling building, stables, family home, and power plant. Then descend into the underground lagering cellars, where beer was once stored and matured. Brewing continued here for nearly a century, ending in 1950; later, the complex housed the Fountain Winery and Worthmore Food Products, known for Cincinnati-style chili and mock turtle soup. An included beer is provided with every adult drinking tour ticket.

The Brewing Heritage Trail has worked to restore parts of the site and make this distinctive industrial landmark accessible to guests. Follow the tour parking signs to the lot behind the complex, where your guide will meet you. Book the Cincinnati Brewery History Tour to discover the buildings and stories behind a singular piece of the city’s brewing heritage.
