URBAN ARTIFACT

Urban Artifact is a local Cincinnati brewing company specializing in Belgian fruit ales that occupies the basement of an old Catholic Church in Northside. It’s not the flashiest brewery from the outside or inside, but it feels authentically Cincinnati. With the dominant German population in Cincinnati, our urban landscape is covered in breweries and Catholic churches. What makes Urban Artifact feel so authentic to me is that it felt like you’re going into a parish fish fry. The brewery is in the basement of the church and feels like you’re going into a speakeasy that you wouldn’t know was in there. The vintage lights, old wood bar, and wood doors that look original to the Church enhance that feeling. The owners take great pride in their Cincinnati roots and strive to portray that through how they make their beers and engage with their community.
