10 Best Breweries in Mason

"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."

"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."

"Wind down after a long day of sightseeing by sipping a local craft brew at Taft’s Ale House or Rhinegeist, and pick up fun Cincinnati apparel at Homage or handcrafted pottery from the world-renowned Rookwood Pottery. It turns out that you can see a lot that the Cincinnati region has to offer in just one day!"
