Cellars & Saloons Sunday Brunch Tour

Cincinnati Beer Tour Uncovers Brewing Heritage

A unique Cincinnati experience is bringing together craft beer, local flavors, and historic discovery through a guided tour celebrating the city’s famous brewing legacy. The journey begins at the Moerlein Lager House, where guests enjoy a flight of beers and a brief guided introduction to the historic brewpub. A freshly prepared brunch adds a welcoming start before exploring Cincinnati’s deep connection to brewing.

The adventure continues with a streetcar ride to Over the Rhine, a neighborhood recognized for its remarkable collection of pre Prohibition brewery structures. Walking through the historic streets, visitors discover hidden brewery landmarks, former saloons, and stories of the workers, brewmasters, and local communities that helped establish Cincinnati as a major brewing center.

A major highlight of the tour is the exclusive visit to the underground lagering cellars of the Park Brewery. After years closed to the public, these historic underground spaces now offer guests a rare opportunity to experience the architecture and brewing techniques that supported Cincinnati’s beer industry during the 19th century.

The experience concludes with a stop at the Lackman Bar, located on the site of a former pre Prohibition saloon, where guests can enjoy a pint and local favorites on tap. A final streetcar ride back to the Moerlein Lager House completes the journey, leaving visitors with a deeper appreciation of Cincinnati’s history, culture, and brewing traditions.
