About
Urban Artifact is Ohio’s home for sour beer; located in the historic St. Patrick’s church in Cincinnati. With a special emphasis on fruit beers, they have created a niche with their signature overfruited Midwest Fruit Tart style focusing on balance, drinkability, and real fruit. Brewing a bevy of different sour beers, from the standard German style gose, to the exotic spontaneously fermented barrel aged sour with a wide variety of different fruits, there is sure to be something new and exciting to explore. We are currently on pace to use over 400,000 lbs of real fruit this year alone!
Our Northside, Cincinnati taproom is open seven days a week, with food service provided by Wildfire Pizza Kitchen. We host live music five nights a week at the Radio Artifact Live stage, and make the historic church sanctuary, The Reliquary, available for receptions and events.
Radio Artifact, the Urban Artifact hosted independent music radio, can be listened to on 91.7FM HD2 in Cincinnati or live streaming online at radioartifact.com

The aroma is of tart peaches . The flavor is moderately tart. Peaches are definitely in there. Malty. It doesn’t look that much like a nitro beer but there’s some creaminess to the mouthfeel. Very good.

It smells of vanilla and tart limes. There’s a very nice moderately tart, malty, lime led flavor with vanilla notes. It’s flavorful and well balanced, a quite enjoyable sour ale.

Hazy reddish pour. This one’s pretty sweet but there’s enough tartness to not make it overdone. Nice plum flavor with some vanilla.

Aromas are a tart funk with mild peach. Flavors are similar to nose, fairly dry with a hint of sweet in the finish. Although there is a certain creaminess to it. Label says nitro, but no sign of of it. Don't think I'd get it again.

Sampled from the tap at Beer Grotto Ann Arbor. Pours a clear copper with a white head that dissipates slowly to the edges and laces. Aroma has lots of stone fruits and tropical fruits with a bit of sweet grains underlying. Flavor has a combination of blueberry, stone fruit and a bit of guava with sweet grains underlying.
