10 Best Breweries in West Chester Township

"Rhinegeist Brewery was founded by two Californians, it takes its inspiration from the Blue Ash area’s roots. They love to push the boundaries with their unique, high-quality beers that include traditional favorites, barrel-aged collectibles, an innovative Belgian-style line called Outer Reaches, and their own line of ciders. They offer several levels of brewery tours."

"Cincinnati is a beer town — and long has been, thanks to a large influx of German immigrants beginning in the 1830s. It was that heritage that spurred Rhinegeist cofounders Bob Bonder and Bryant Goulding to set up shop. Their craft brewery, which opened in 2013, is often cited as a bellwether of the city's renaissance."

"Enjoy a perfectly poured craft beer with friends and/or family on this large deck over looking Over the Rhine. Rooftop hours are weather permitting. Hours: Monday-Thursday: 3 p.m."

"Along with being one of Cincinnati’s top nightspots, MadTree Brewing Company has also become a pillar of the community through their partnerships with many local non-profits agencies. Their beer line-up includes plenty of experimental and seasonal IPAs and sour beers, along with a selection of classics available year-round. Their taproom is a friendly neighborhood meeting place, perfect for whiling away an afternoon after brunch."

"MadTree may play little brother to Rhinegeist in terms of size, but they don’t play little brother to anybody when it comes to quality. With a backbone of one of the best taprooms in the city, they brew some consistent and delicious beer. I could run down all of the beers that I love from MadTree, but it would take too long and I’d run out of internet space."

"The first is a walking tour with American Legacy Tours that includes exploring recently excavated underground brewery tunnels; the second is hopping on the Cincy Brew Bus for a tasting tour of local breweries like Rhinegeist, Taft's Ale House and Christian Moerlein. For dinner, stay in the Over-the-Rhine area and check out Senate for some hearty food. The real deal there is their hot dogs, which are considered by many to be some of the best in the country. With some pretty gourmet combinations, these aren’t your average dogs."

"Another great downtown Cincinnati brewery, located in Over the Rhine (like Rhinegeist), you’ll love the unique setting at the alehouse. Located in a former church with multiple levels of seating, it is a really distinctive brewery, whether you’re going for post-work drinks or on a brewery tour of Cincinnati. And from their traditional German Dunkel beer to the modern Nellie’s Key Lime Caribbean Ale Wheat Pale Ale, you’ll find a great brew in their historic church setting."

"Taft's is a brewery located in downtown Cincy near OTR and is actually inside of what used to be a church…”more"

"Located across the Ohio River in Covington, KY, Braxton Brewing Company is one of the more popular breweries in northern Kentucky. The bar brewery features a 5,000-square foot rooftop bar that offers tons of seating, an open lawn space for lounging, a huge living plant wall, and incredible views of Covington and Downtown Cincinnati. With over 20 beers on tap and an impressive cocktail menu, this is an excellent place to check out during the warmer months."

"Head across the river to Covington, KY and stop by the former garage that’s now home to Braxton Brewing Co. Their limited releases include a pastry stout collaboration with Graeter’s Ice Cream. The garage taproom pours all their year-round beers, a huge selection of seasonals, and their Braxton Labs line of experimental beers."

"When I last visited, I jumped the Ohio border into Kentucky and went to Braxton Labs inside The Party Source just across the river. I was able to get a whole flight of nothing-but-hazy IPAs and each one was better than the last. Honestly, I came out of that brewery with a 4-pack of everything I could get my hands on."

"There must be something in the air in Hyde Park that makes their restaurants pump out amazing burgers. That includes the classic neighborhood hideaway “Arthur’s Cafe” where just sitting down at a table and staring at the giant cartoon mural makes you think that you secretly went back in time. As far as the burger goes, this is another place where you’ll create a creature of your own design."

"For vegetarians, black bean burgers are one of the most delicious dishes to enjoy. Fortunately, Arthur’s Cafe offers one of the best black bean burgers in the city. The burger is lightly spiced, made in house with black beans, corn, cheese, bread crumbs, and seasonings and is service with lettuce, tomato, and sliced pickles."

"Last but not least when it comes to breweries in Cincinnati, Ohio and the Cincinnati craft beer scene is The Woodburn Brewery. With unique styles of beer like Chocolate Cherry Stout, and Han Solo Blond Ale, the beers here are fantastic, and the taproom with beautiful lighting and brick walls make it the perfect spot to relax after a long day with a pint. The Woodburn Brewery Address: 2800 Woodburn Ave, Cincinnati, OH 45206"
