Cincinnati’s Old Brewery Tunnels

Are open for tours  .

Welcome to the Queen of Beers – Cincinnati! In the 1800s, Ohio was part of the Northwest Territory, and Cincinnati was called the Queen of the West. By the end of the Nineteenth Century, the bustling river town was considered by many as the Beer Capital because of the high ratio of beer manufactured to the number of citizens. Most of which were clustered in the Over-The-Rhine neighborhood.

Over-The-Rhine was heavily populated by German immigrants. They drew a comparison from the Miami and Erie Canal to the River Rhine back in the old country. Breweries galore popped up in the area, rivaling the production anywhere in the country before Prohibition. It was a time before mechanical refrigeration chilled the industry at large. So, to keep brew cool, tunnels and caverns were dug deep enough beneath the city streets that an underworld mushroomed. These were the original beer caves!

When modernization rendered the elaborate labyrinth obsolete, there was no practical use for the tunnel system. It was buried and largely forgotten. As old streets were torn up and old buildings were torn down, the crushed brick and concrete pieces were brushed into the vent and drainage systems to fall into the idle caverns below.

Many decades later, like archaeologists excavating a lost city, these tunnels and caverns were slowly chiseled out and cleared. And then, tours took people into the depths to rediscover Cincinnati’s drunk history. In one cavern with a ceiling height of 20 or more feet, a pyramid of rubble starts at a point near street level by a tiny drain hole and expands to a base nearly the width of the room.

Tours today offer a fantastic look at the massive subterranean cellars lost to time. Along the way, a guide will share the tales of the beer barons, brew masters, and the workers who made it all happen. Above-ground stops feature the architecture of some of the historic brewery facades sitting like time capsules. These include Christian Moerlein sites, Rhinegeist Brewery, the Sohn/Mohawk Brewery, Lafayette Hudepohl and Kaufman structures, and Jackson Brewery.

Tourgoers should bring comfortable walking shoes, expectations of tight steep staircases, and a light jacket for the chillier depths. Admission usually includes a pint of local beer or a soft drink at a neighborhood taproom.

• Emma M 0 contributions 2.0 of 5 bubbles Lots of Beer Tastings BUT that's it I have taken other brewery tours in different cities around the country, and for being a current resident living in Cincinnati I was very disappointed in the tour I had. If you want to pay $65 for a ride and plenty of beer tastings this "tour" would work, but that is it. I signed up for this tour as I had a friend come in from out of town and thought it would be a fun activity to learn more about Cincinnati beer, the breweries and show them my city. First off I did not realize that the actually transportation was going to be an actual school bus. It was very hot that day and if I had known specifically that our ride was not as shown in the pictures or described I would have chosen different clothing and brought a fan. Also while driving to one of the breweries the driver and tour guide got lost and couldn't find the brewery and I had to give them directions as I knew where we were and where the brewery was. Second, the tour guide was not very professional and did not seem to know his Cincinnati beer or history correctly. I love beer and Cincinnati history so have read a lot of books and attended training classes and he was very grossly inaccurate with his stories and info. The tour guide seemed to only want to talk about his own life and stories and would only volunteer information about the beer and details if we directly asked him. Third, I was under the impression that this tour would also include some type of behind the scenes tour of these breweries we visited. Very disappointed in the quality and lack of professionalism of this tour. Read more Written August 7, 2023

A Comparison of Cincinnati Underground Tours

See the fascinating subterranean world  of a subway system that never was beneath the streets of Cincinnati.

(Photo: Viator.com)

There was once a dream among city planners in Cincinnati to give the citizens of this Ohio city fast, affordable inner city train travel. Towards the end of World War I, work began on construction. By the onset of the Great Depression, a little over a decade later, despite two miles of tunnel already built, the project was canned. Now, those tunnels have the ignominious title of longest abandoned subway in the US, which makes them perfect for exploration. Here are five different styles of underground tour in the Queen City.

Brewers & Barons Trail Tour

Around the time the plans to build a subway in Cincinnati were failing, Prohibition was also failing US society by fueling the rise in organized crime. It also led to plenty of illegal brewing activity. This two-hour walking tour takes guests around the city’s Brewery District, uncovering stories that go way back to the 19 th century’s brewing barons. The guided tour follows the Brewing Heritage Trail, includes some beer tastings, and stops by a number of historic brewing sites to see what’s left of their underground operations. Tours on Sat only. From $39 per person.

Over & Under the Rhine Tour

One of Cincinnati’s oldest neighborhoods is called Over-the-Rhine, where many landmarks such as Washington Park and Findlay Market are located. This tour combines rides on the streetcar, plus around a mile of walking to explore these and other sites, plus delves below the ground to see remnants of that aborted subway system, as well as delving really deep down into the old cold-storage facility of Gerke Brewery. A pint of beer at a local taproom is also included in this tour. Tours on Sat, plus Wed and Fri in warmer months. From $39 per person.

Ultimate Queen City Underground Tour

The benefit of a good underground tour is that, even for people who think they know Cincinnati well, there’s plenty more going on out of sight. That is what this Queen City underground tour aims to explore: the important moments in history that flew under the radar, the hidden underground world of crypts and tunnels, and more. This walking tour lasts around 150 minutes. Daily tours from April to early September, then on weekends only in colder months. From $45 per person.

Hidden Brewery Caverns Tour in Cincinnati with Beer Tasting

Brewery tours are a hugely popular way to explore the suds of Cincinnati while also getting the chance to see underground caverns and tunnels linked to breweries past and present. This hugely popular tour explores the history of at least five breweries, some now defunct – such as Jackson Brewery, where exclusive access to their subterranean tunnels really adds flavor to the history – and some still in operation – such as Northern Row Brewery, where guests over the age of 21 get to take part in a beer tasting. From $49 per person.

Cincinnati Brewing & Distilling Tasting Tour

An alternative type of brewery tour focusses more on the styles of brewing and distilling beers and spirits that have been used in Cincinnati through the years. Taking place largely indoors, this option operated by the Brewing Heritage Trail, runs only on Saturdays and includes both a beer flight tasting and a spirit sampling. Head underground to the old beer fermentation cellar at the now-defunct Jackson Brewery, then see how things are done today in a behind the scenes look at Northern Row Brewery and Distillery. From $49 per person.
