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
Tap...dark in here so looks pale orange. Tart and a bit acidic. Lots of cranberry shining. It's not too bad overall but cant have too many with the acidity level
12oz can. Poured a clear ruby red color with a small pink head. Aroma was huge strawberry puree, flavor was light strawberries and cream. Pleasant and easy to drink.
OK, my can says 'chicago style relish - reward the curious' and I hope this is the same beer. Yes, really smells like relish, how quaint! Pour is cloudy pale with what seems to be actual chunks of relish within. Certainly gose like flavor, makes my mouth pucker. Salty tart pickle dill and other spices makes this quite interesting, fer sher! I wasn't sure if I'd like this but it really is a pleasant surprise! Quite enjoyable. Very unique. Odd but I can't turn away. Some kind of nifty brew! Good job urby! I really like the cut of the jib. Gonna have to get another can or two of this! Finish is just, how should I say this? Yummy! If you get a can of this, make sure you swirl it to get all the relish off the bottom!
What a crazy looking can; tells a story. Pour is hazy off pale light orange. Nose is odd fresh celery. First taste is very pleasant & straightforward, beer. Goes down so smoothly. Nice touch on the co2, also! Cutting - yet not burning. I am liking this. I wonder what effect the stuff had on this? Barely perceivable. Yea on the label it says all this stuff is added, a variety of shit mixed with pickles? But it must be just a pinch here and a pinch there. Nice balance without getting in yer face and saying; hey man! I'm a spiced up flavored thang. - Nicely done. My impression of what basic homemade consistent brew should be; clean & fresh, with no real hop bitterness. Just fun & easy. Quite yummy extended finish.
