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

Can, mildly pine aroma. Pale ale. Decent head. Taste is lemon up front on top of a of a thin pale lager. I think this may have too much hop bite for a berliner, man. Yea, this is more like a fruit beer and less than a berliner. Come on, don't insult the style, heheh. Its starts to grow on me a little as I move on. Yes, now I think I may have a sense of fresh tart but then that BS poorly made lager thing kicks in. Different. Maybe a little metallic on the nose in the end.

Can. Off pine metallic aroma. Cloudy pale. Taste is IPA but its tempered with a tart backbone, makes it somewhat interesting. Not your ubiquitous IPA fer sure. Yes, that tartness distracts from the bitter rude IPA bite that is so prevalent in most of the IPA genre. Yes, the IPA bitterness seeps thru but its not in yer face, its never trying to be an imperial IPA. If we got rid of that metallic nose and the stupid IPA bitterness, this could be great.
