FAQ

You have questions, we have answers.

General

Where does Rhinegeist distribute?

Currently, we distribute our beers and ciders in Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Houston, Texas.

If I don’t live in one of those places, can Rhinegeist ship me beer?

Nope! We’d recommend phoning a friend or using an external service (like Tavour!).

Can I host an event at the brewery?

Yes! If you are interested in booking one of our private events spaces, please visit our Private Events page.

Is there food available at the brewery?

We proudly offer pizza, wings, desserts and more from the Mac’s Pizza vending machine (!) conveniently located in the Taproom. Additionally, grab-and-go snacks are available at the bar, or feel free to bring your local favorites with you to our taproom! Historic Findlay Market is just a short walk from the brewery.

Is there parking available at the brewery?

Rhinegeist is located in the urban Over the Rhine district of Cincinnati. There is a free parking lot located directly across from the brewery on Elm St. and limited street parking in the area around the brewery. Paid parking lots are located at nearby Findlay Market, in the new Findlay Garage, and at the corner of Dunlap St. and Henry St. Please plan extra time to find parking during weekends and special events!

BOOK A TOUR

Can we bring kids into the brewery?

Kids are more than welcome to visit the brewery! All children must be accompanied by an adult at all times. On Fridays and Saturdays, a valid 21+ ID is required for entry after 8pm.

Are dogs allowed inside of the brewery?

Unfortunately, dogs are not permitted inside the brewery. Given the nature of our business, we need things kept highly sanitary.

Can I purchase kegs through the brewery?

We keep a small inventory of kegs to be sold through our taproom. If you are interested in making such a purchase please email orders@rhinegeist.com so we can confirm the availability and reserve the keg(s).

Do you sell cans through the brewery?

Yes! We sell cans at our taproom merch store. You can also use our Can Finder to find our brews in the market.

Do you offer growler or crowler fills?

Yes! Typically, if a beer or a cider is on tap, it can also be put in a growler or crowler to go (unless otherwise noted at the bar!).

Do you have a public elevator?

Rhinegeist is accessible. We have a public elevator that is available during normal business hours. To access this elevator, you will use our Private Events entrance located just south of our main entrance (Look for the Rhinegeist Mural on our Loading Dock door!). We ask that you be mindful of any Private Event that could be in progress. Take the elevator to the 2nd floor, and exit to the right. The Taproom will be through the staircase.

Are Rhinegeist Beverages gluten-free?

No. All of our Fruited Hard Beverages contain malt product, which is known to contain gluten.

Are your ciders (e.g. Zappy, Swizzle) gluten-free?

Our ciders are not certified gluten-free as they are brewed on equipment shared with beer and may contain malt. We do everything to make sure the cider product stays away from any gluten (i.e. tanks, canning lines, and beer lines are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized before switching between products), but cannot guarantee that it does.

Reaching out directly to your local USPS branch is a great first step, and we are happy to help you with any additional shipping issues. We handle each shipping issue individually and will help you as best we can.
