Guided tours are returning to the Brewing Heritage Trail and we are taking steps to ensure a safe and fun time for all by keeping group sizes small, having tour guides and participants wear masks, regularly sanitizing, and offering some tours as exclusively outdoor experiences!
We offer a variety of guided tours along (and under!) the Brewing Heritage Trail that let you experience Cincinnati's brewing history up close and personal, led by our personable and knowledgeable guides. Tours are available all year long, though some tours are seasonal. We also have a variety of special events throughout the year. Almost all of our tours start at our Trail Tour Center, with an unique selection of merchandise and history books as well as a rotating exhibit gallery of historic breweriana.

GUIDED TOURS

Brewing high quality beer was an art form to many Cincinnati breweries and the buildings that housed their operations needed to be an extension of this passion. Come and witness the evolution of the brewing industry through the size, complexity, and architectural grandeur of the city’s historic breweries. Beginning at the Trail Tour Center on Race Street, we follow the Brewing Heritage Trail and marvel at the many remaining 19th and early 20th century structures, while sharing stories of those who built or doomed these brewing empires during beer’s industrial revolution. Tours include a visit into the vast subterranean lager cellars of the historic (non-operating) Jackson Brewery.
