Rhinegeist is a brewery built within the skeleton of the old Moerlein bottling plant (built in 1895). Within these unique and historic walls, they brew 20bbl batches of beer. The yin/yang of their brewing philosophy is hoppy/seasonable and aim to brew beers where “the first sip calls for the third”.

Rhinegeist means “ghost of the Rhine”, and refers to our place here in the historic Brewery District in the Over the Rhine neighborhood of Cincinnati. At the turn of the century, this neighborhood was home to nearly 45,000 inhabitants, most of them of German descent and hosted 38 breweries. We hope to engender the spirit of camaraderie and hard work that they imagine those living and brewing in this neighborhood at that time embodied.
