Bruckmann Brewery Tour

The guides here really know their stuff and clearly love sharing Cincinnati's rich brewing history. Lisa, Jim, Kanah, and other tour leaders consistently get praise for being knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and genuinely engaging with groups. Visitors love the unexpected highlights like descending into historic lagering cellars and seeing spaces normally closed to the public. The tours cover both Over-the-Rhine's brewing past and connect it to the city's broader history in ways that surprise even locals. Most tours run about two hours and focus heavily on history and architecture rather than bar hopping, which some visitors appreciate while others expected more drinking along the way. One reviewer mentioned wishing for more storytelling and spookier elements on what seemed to be a haunted tour, though the historical content still satisfied. The registration process is smooth with convenient electronic waivers. Whether you're diving into their "Built on Beer" tour or the "Tapping Into Tradition" events, you're getting a solid historical experience with passionate guides who make Cincinnati's brewing heritage come alive.
