    We were excited to learn more about beer and Cincinnati. The first stop was along a fence which housed multiple garbage bins behind it. It smelled and our group was repeatedly visited by biting flies. Unfortunately, our guide seemed completely unaware and just kept talking. Many of the old breweries are covered behind trees or have become private residences so we were repeatedly referred to looking at pictures on an app to see what they looked like. Going into the tunnel was a fun experience but that’s unfortunately the last part and maybe 20 minutes tops. We ended at Northern Row brewery- beautiful place with great beers. B- the guide- tried to be funny but most jokes didn’t land and so many things were repeated it was hard to stay interested. Definitely not worth the money unfortunately.

    This was such an interesting tour that took us to parts of Cincinnati that we hadn't ventured to. Lisa was a wonderful guide and be sure to download the app, because it is important to see the historic pictures of the brewery buildings.

    You start the tour at the Finley Market Brewing Heritage Trail sign where we met our guide Lisa. She’s wonderful by the way, but we’ll talk about the tour. You’ll walk a couple blocks where you’ll arrive at the first location. Lisa was on point with all the facts, dates, knowledge and could answer just about any reasonable question. Over the next roughly hour and half you’ll visit a few more brewery sites each with facts and stories. You’ll get to go into an old Lagering tunnel which is really cool, and you’ll finish up the tour with your choice of a locally brewed beer. Well worth the money and 2-2.5 hours of time. Definitely recommend doing this tour if visiting Cincinnati.
