Next, venture into the Linch Brewery Tunnels, constructed in 1850 and generally inaccessible to the public. Visit the filming location of a Johnny Cash movie and see the last standing structures of the original Christian Moerlein Brewery complex, usually closed to visitors.
The tour includes a stroll through Findlay Market, Ohio's oldest, discussing its historical significance. Also, outside the Rhinegeist Brewery, you can learn about the building's role in Cincinnati’s 19th-century beer scene.
