Cincinnati's Brewing History

The narrative of brewing in Cincinnati, dating back to 1812, highlights the significant influence of the German immigrant population in the mid-19th century, which established the city as a key brewing hub. The Over-the-Rhine district became home to grand brewery buildings and a vibrant culture of saloons and beer gardens. Although Prohibition devastated the industry, recent years have seen a revival of brewing culture in the area. This book provides an insightful overview of this history, featuring vintage and contemporary images alongside brewing memorabilia.
