About
In November 1788, the intersection of a dream and a pioneering spirit ignited Benjamin Stites and 26 others to found the settlement of “Columbia” along the banks of the Ohio near the Little Miami River. Now known as Columbia-Tusculum, Streetside Brewery is proud to be rooted in Cincinnati’s oldest neighborhood.
With the same industrious energy, the Hickey family, Streetside Brewery founders and residents of Columbia-Tusculum, strives to provide a down-to-earth experience with a selection of exceptional craft beer that’s as diverse, and original, as the community they serve.
Streetside Brewery was honored to be named “Best New Brewer in Ohio 2017” by the RateBeer Best Awards. Other awards include a SILVER in the English Style Pale & Bitter category by RateBeer Best 2017 for Return of the Mac (coffee blonde) and Best Sour and Best of Show at the 2016 King of Ohio Competition for Raspberry Beret (berliner weisse with raspberries).
