Description
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

Urban Artifact Pickle Gose with a shitload of jalapeno. (Might be other peppers involved, but the profile is pure picked jalapenos.) Peppers drown out pretty much any other aspect of the beer, which is somewhat impressive, considering how much cucumber comes forward in the original version. Pure novelty, worth trying. Once.

Cucumber, dill, and coriander mixed with sharp lacto tartness and a salty fade. (Might be more accurate to put CUCUMBER, dill, and coriander.) Always a bit weird to describe a beer as cucumber-forward. Can't think of any other way to make clear how damn cucumber-heavy this pint is, though. Cute idea. Tastes like its name suggests. Again, not for me.

Can: pours bright red with pinkish head. Aroma is loads of raspberry, some funk and a vanilla hint. Taste is slightly sour, sweet raspberry syrup taste, interesting finish. Nice.

Can from Craft Brewed. Pours a thick and murky apricot gold with a finger of white foam that dissipates quickly. Wonderful pungent apricot skin and flesh aromas with good fruit and tart notes on the nose. Thick and juicy on the palate with apricot puree followed by slight tartness and mild skin astringency. Lingering apricot pulp and mild stone notes. Really good. --- Beer merged from original tick of Paperweight on 14 Jul 2019 at 22:03 - Score: 8. Original review text: Big pungent apricot nose with some light lemon juice as it warms. Thick and viscous apricot purée with light stone and skin astringency. Yum

Damn near a raspberry smoothie. Fruit tarts go far! I'm sure they're expensive too.
