Walk Cincinnati’s Brewing Heritage Trail, explore historic brewery sites and cellars, and finish with a beer or soft drink at Findlay Market.
About this tour
Follow the stories of the workers, brewmasters, and beer barons who helped make Cincinnati a brewing powerhouse. This Cincinnati Brewing Heritage Trail Tour brings the city’s past to life through historic sites, outdoor landmarks, and the atmospheric cellars where beer was once stored.
Starting at the Brewing Heritage Trail “Hop On” sign at Findlay Market, your guided walk follows the eastern edge of the Brewery District. Along the way, discover historical signage and art installations, hear about the people who built the brewing industry, and visit historic Hudepohl and Kauffman Brewery structures. The route also enters the underground lagering cellars of the former Schmidt Brothers/Crown Brewery. Reaching the cellars requires navigating several steep, winding staircases, though you can choose to stay above ground.
The two-hour Cincinnati Brewing Heritage Trail Tour ends at Findlay Market’s Race Street Station Bar, where a beer or soft drink is included. Join the walk to connect Cincinnati’s brewing heritage with the places that shaped it, one story and historic stop at a time.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.83 from 23 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in Cincinnati
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.2. Top 47% in Cincinnati means it ranks in the top 47% of tours in Cincinnati by this score.
