Cincinnati was built on beer. As one of the nation’s premier producers during the mid-19th and early 20th centuries, the city was home to 36 breweries at its peak. They distributed an estimated 45 million gallons annually before Prohibition nearly wiped out the industry completely. Thankfully, reason prevailed, and the Cincinnati beer business is booming again. In fact, the current number of area breweries has surpassed that of the pre-Prohibition era. As such, the demand for local beer tours has skyrocketed, uniting locals and tourists from all walks of life through a shared love of history, suds, and libations. Cincy Brew Bus offers a variety of tours throughout the city, and here are some of their most popular.
