Over-the-Rhine Breweries

The city of Cincinnati--if you didn't already know--has quite a history when it comes to beer brewing. This is most likely due to the large amount of German immigrants who settled in Cincinnati in the 1800s, most significantly in the neighborhood of Over-the-Rhine. While many of the breweries are no longer in use, there are plenty of buildings still standing. I was lucky enough to get the chance to explore several of the remaining brewery buildings in Over-the-Rhine, so I thought I would share some of my photographs.
