History informs us
Friends, The last few months have been a difficult time for all of us. COVID-19 has upended our lives, work, schooling, and our passions. The Brewery District hasn’t been able to offer guided tours due to the restrictions placed on public gatherings (we don’t like prohibitions on anything but we’re abiding by the State’s wise guidance on this one).
The Brewing Heritage Trail Tours are the only brewery tours offered by a non-profit organization in Cincinnati and are a valuable source of income for the Brewery District. Please help us through this trying time by making a tax-deductible donation through the links below, while we keep working to preserve Cincinnati's brewing heritage.
Prost!
