Booking was a breeze and the price point is fantastic for everything you get on your tour. They'll even pick up or drop off anywhere you'd like which is so convenient for larger groups like ours. We tried booking with Cincy Brew Bus initially but it was horrible, way more expensive and the person I emailed was not very friendly or helpful. They also canceled our reservation less than a month away from our party because they "couldn't find us a driver". Don't waste your time with them, go straight to Craft Connection, they're amazing!

As #5 on the 2014 Yelp Cincy's Summer Bucket List - Taking a Craft Connection Brewery Tour could…read morethese amazing Yelp events get any better in Cincinnati? I love Cincinnati and our Craft Beer Scene so having the opportunity to take a tour bus to four of Cincinnati's finest craft breweries in style with 14 fellow Yelper's on a Saturday afternoon I'm all in and ready to enjoy! Ben our driver started the company with his sister and brother in law after taking similar tours in Chicago and Denver. The tours begin at Halfcut in OTR, Dan greets the group inside and welcomes you on to the bus where you find your wristband and cup. Our first stop was Rhinegeist, who just celebrated their one year anniversary in June and are growing like crazy, we were told they now have 35 employees on our tour of the brewery. When we arrived there was a table reserved for our group and 3 pitchers of their beer ready for us to try - Truth, their IPA; Cougar, Blonde Ale; Fiction, Belgian Extra Pale ale, which I felt was the best of the 3. Our second stop was Listermann's right on the Cincinnati/Norwood border, Listermann's started as the place in Cincinnati for home brewing - they have classes, all of the supplies you need for your home brew and in 2007 started their own brewery Triple Digit Brewing company, known for Chickow and Listermann brews smaller batches of their own beer available right in the tasting room. They have a very refreshing hefeweizen on tap right now made with Beets, great on a warm summer day. They were in the middle of brewing some beer while we were there, so the brewery was hot. Our third stop on the tour was MadTree, which was the busiest of the four breweries we visited. We had Psychopathy, their IPA (one of the best around in my opinion), Lift, their Kolsch and a special Peach beer Tiamat. The fourth stop on the tour was 50 West Brewing company, we had Wire to Wire Wheat, which they made for the Cincinnati Reds, Coffee Please Stout (wow lots of coffee) and Tripa, a Belgian Triple - my fave of the 3 Then we returned back to OTR and Halfcut, with your wristband you can have $2 off pint at Half cut Note they have coolers on the bus if you want to purchase a growler during one of the stops and bring it back with you on your journey home. The four hours flew by and the bus is just the right size 14 seats total if you want to get a group of friends, co-workers together, its $55 per person including the beer & they had some snacks & water on the bus. Great value and you're able to visit and try a wide variety of Cincinnati's Craft Breweries on the Craft Connection Tour!

We met and ended at Halfcut, it was my first time there and I'm so glad I got to try it out! The breweries we visited were a mix of favorites I had been to and ones that were new to me. They have all only been around for a few years- in fact 50 West, Madtree, and Rhinegeist all are less than two years old! What am awesome testament to the brewery explosion in Cincinnati. Rhinegeist is a fav of mine. I love their space and every beer from them that I've tried. They are a huge example of an entrepreneurial spirit and was a perfect first spot! Next we went to Listermann's. I wasn't very familiar with their beer but our driver Ben told us that they have a reputation for basically brewing whatever they want. This was true as we heard about beer aging in Pappy Van Winkle barrels, tried a peanut butter porter and even a beet beer! I was really impressed with their hospitality- the owner's son was the one showing us behind the scenes. Madtree was the next stop. I don't usually like their beer but I actually found one I like! We wrapped up the tour at 50 West, an old favorite. A great thing about these breweries is that they all have public tap rooms, so anyone can go try their beer. A great thing about being on the tour was that at every location, we had a reserved table with pitchers of beer already set out for us. Often we got to bypass a line for beer, and we always had the option to go behind the scenes for a tour. It was a great afternoon! Thanks Cindy for giving us the opportunity to get a behind the scenes look at one of the best things about Cincinnati!

Never would I have guess we would be going on such an interesting tour and having a wonderful meal after the tour in this area. So good to see this progress. Our tour guide was Laura and while she gave useful historical facts she definitely left us with less than a hospitable feeling and that it was a bit of a drag to be giving the same tour over and over. Maybe this is the norm or maybe she was having an off day but if you are busking for tips at the tour it is a good idea to pretend to enjoy your job. Still glad we did the tour and it left us wanting for even more information on the OTR area.

I will take the other tours that you have in the future when I visit for longer times. These are great!

The Betts House is a small museum tucked away in the West End, just off of Central Avenue. Clark…read moreStreet looks like it is miles away from Downtown Cincinnati, with its Italianate houses and gigantic canopy of oak trees. This part of town looks like it's straight out of a New England movie, with historic houses to boot. The Betts House is the oldest house in Cincinnati and Ohio, erected in 1804, just one year after Ohio became a state. The Betts family originally owned several blocks of land on the West End, but as generations passed, Cincinnati expanded and plots of land were split. Surprisingly, when the Betts lived here, the West End was considered rural. Just two stories tall and consisting of eight rooms, the house chronicles the history of the Betts family and the evolution of the West End in the permanent upstairs exhibit. Downstairs features a rotating exhibit, currently which is about the New Madrid Earthquake in 1811. The earthquake was felt here in Cincinnati and caused extensive damage to the Betts' kitchen. Sounds pretty cool, so why only three stars? During my visit, a mother brought her toddler to visit one of the docents. Their conversation could be heard loudly throughout the house, even when I was on the second floor and they were downstairs. The toddler was screaming and crawling all over the place. The docent didn't seem to mind that she was getting weird looks from myself and a few of the other guests. That being said, please do not bring children to the Betts House. It's a museum for adults or mature youth. Most of the exhibit features text and diagrams which are much too complex for anyone under age 10. Also, since there is a lot of reading, excessive noise and talking disturbs other patrons. Lastly, when I went upstairs to view the Betts Family exhibit, the room featured a few posterboards propped up on the floor. They weren't on stands or affixed to the wall like a normal museum. I actually had to kneel to read the end of the paragraphs. As a historical landmark, the Betts House is worth a look. The presentation at the museum, on the other hand, I could go either way. Cost per person: $2.00 Viewing Time: 1 hour Tips: - Ample, free street parking - Not handicapped accessible, as it is preserved as a historic house. - Check out the neighboring house with a placard, where the Gamble Family once resided.
