I write like it's my job - because it is! I have a Master's in English and love words: crossword puzzles, Scrabble games, Wordle, and, of course, good, old-fashioned books.
I'm a writer and editor at OnlyInYourState, and a contributing writer at Cincinnati Magazine. I love the Great Outdoors and am endlessly awestruck by this beautiful country of ours. Coffee keeps me going, yoga keeps me sane, my kids keep me grounded, and my writing keeps me inspired.
Our neighbor to the south might be known for bourbon and caves, but Ohio holds its own with regard to spirits and subterranean adventures. In fact, beneath the streets of Cincinnati, Ohio, there is an entire underworld of old brewery caverns and tunnels, and there’s an epic tour that takes intrepid explorers through the heart of it all.
Cincinnati is a charming, "little big" river town that's the perfect mix of metropolitan attractions and Midwestern sensibility. The city is known for its beautifully preserved, 19th-century historic buildings, German heritage, robust brewing scene, and...
...underground caverns. Not only does this river city have an underground crypt where some of its first residents were buried, but Cincinnati is also home to an expansive network of subterranean beer caverns.
Intriguing, right? Well, on a Hidden Brewery Cavern Tour, you'll get to explore these underground beer caves on a two-hour tour of the storied Linck brewery tunnels.
Along the way, a knowledgeable guide will reveal parts of Cincinnati literally hiding in plain sight; a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that you don't want to miss!
In addition, the Hidden Brewery Caverns Tour visits the site where Johnny Cash filmed a movie *and* ventures inside the last standing structures from the original Christian Moerlein Brewery complex, the latter of which has been closed to the public for decades.
Afterward, tour-goers 21 and up can enjoy a "hands-on" lesson in Ohio breweries with a beer tasting at the Northern Row Taproom, located at 111 W McMicken Ave, Cincinnati, OH, 45202.
From the streets of historic Cincinnati to the subterranean beer caverns hiding below its cobblestone streets, this is one only-in-Ohio tour for your bucket list!
What do you think? For beer drinkers and history buffs, we can’t imagine a better day trip in Ohio than this underground brewery tour! This tour is offered through American Legacy Tours and tickets can be reserved through the event page on TripAdvisor.
