Here at Cincy Brew Bus we are always looking at unique and fun ways to celebrate local beer and our great city. In 2016 Cincinnati opened up the Cincinnati Bell Streetcar Connector linking the Banks Neighborhood with Over-The-Rhine. This amazing resource provides a way for us to highlight fresh, locally made beer and Cincinnati’s unique architecture, buildings, and landscape. Born was our Streetcar Tasting Tour, a guided craft brewery tasting tour unlike any in the country. We visit three different craft brewers: Taft’s Ale House, Rhinegeist, and Moerlein Lager House, all very different from one another in scale, scope and flavor, riding around Cincinnati on the Streetcar in between stops. The best part of it all is it is our most affordable tour option in our portfolio with ticket prices at just $35.00 a person. This gets you tastings and tours at Taft’s…
