1. Cincinnati Gilded Brew Marker, Side One
Gilded Brew traverses the Gilded Age through the industrialization of brewing, the birth of America's first brewery union, and the growing gap between Cincinnati's "beer barons" and the workers who produced some of the world's best beer. Both the route and the narrative of this segment follow an evolution from the early, humble breweries of the 1840s to the multi-block brewery complexes of the early 1900s.
New Rhineland
New Rhineland begins on the border and at the birth of Over-the-Rhine. It tells the story of how German immigration transformed the city's culture and made "Zinzinnati" synonymous with quality, German-style lager beer.
Glasses & Growlers
Glasses & Growlers explores how breweries helped fill the city with thousands of illegal saloons, what night-life was like in the late 1800s, and the ways that technology changed home beer consumption.
Cincinnati was one of America's five largest cities in the 1800s. During this era brewing did more than any other single industry to shape the culture of the city. The Brewing Heritage Trail explores the story of Cincinnati through the history and architectural legacy of her beer.
