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

Can from the brewery. Pours unclear deep red purple with a few translucent bubbles. Aroma & taste: red grape vinous, vanilla, oak, cherries, blueberries, hints of funk, light tartness. Medium-body with low carbonation. Tastes way under it's ABV.

Come on dudes; Ayviak Druid, Halxari, honor, privilege, shimmers from the rising sun, divinity tome and proverbs? HAH! Quoting phaleslu below, he's dead on; it's a 12 oz. can that pours a barely cloudy orange-red with a small off-white head that settles into a ring and loose island of film. For me the smell is neutral at first, just a slight bias toward something tart, heh-eheh. And the taste ? It's quite wonderful. Fun bubbly tart sensation dancing all around my palate. Let me think, is it the strawbs or is it the nanna? Sucking this down I have no IPA regrets. I love the slight acidity of these wildly soured beers. Maybe its the fine balanced secret recipe combination between the bananns and deh berry; they are well done, I'm liking this. Yes, and another cool thing about it is that its near 8%, you'd never know it! Carefull out there. Where is the alky? I think I'm feeling the effects!
