Tour guide Laura was knowledgeable, engaging, and always open to questions! The highlight was visiting the lagering cave, but the whole tour was very worthwhile!
ROBERT_V, Feb 2024
Our guide Laura was super knowledgeable and patient with us. Even came into the brewery at the end and had a beer with us continuing to share her knowledge of the history of Cincinnati.
Definitely would recommend.

Lisa was a great guide who is clearly passionate about Cincinnati and its history. Even my fiance who is a brewer learned a lot about the city and its beer history.

Our tour guide Lisa was awesome! A true local and had a lot of information to share. We had a small group so it was easy to hear her talk and ask questions. The walk was short and never felt rushed. Definitely doable for those more physically challenged. We'll be doing more in the future.

Parking was tricky as the Bengals were playing in the play offs against the birds. Really enjoyed the tunnels under the old brewery and the pint at the end!
Response from Host, Jan 2023
Hi Bruce, so glad to see you enjoyed taking a tour with us and hopefully we'll see you again in the future!

We enjoyed this tour! We’ve always known about the German influence In Cincy- this brought it to life!
Ended with a great Kolsch beer which is kinda hard to find. We first had it in Cologne Germany!
Lisa the guide was excellent.
Jerome_B, Jul 2022
Our guide was very good. Her descriptions made it easy to visualize what the Cincinnati Brewing Industry and OTR was like in their heyday.
Kelly_F, Jul 2022
Guide was very knowledgeable! The naturally cool storage areas in the brewery were amazing!

It was great to learn all about beer making during prohibition.
Great last stop on the roof top bar.
Response from Host, May 2022
Glad you all had a great time and got to check out the rooftop bar at the Rhinegeist Brewery at the end of the tour! Hopefully we'll see you again sometime and get to show you some other cool places we visit!
