Nestled in the heart of Over-the-Rhine's vibrant Brewery District, Northern Row Brewery and Distillery stands as a testament to both tradition and innovation. Our roots in traditional lager crafting are deep, yet we eagerly explore new horizons with our distinctive array of ales. Complementing our brews is an in-house distillery bringing forth exceptional gins and whiskies, each crafted to perfection. The taproom is more than a place to sip; it's a community hub where local flavors come alive in every dish, made possible by our collaboration with nearby Findlay Market. Don't miss the side pour faucet, where bartenders often showcase their personal beer choices, adding a unique touch to your visit.
