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

Love Letter - Peach from Urban Artifact

7.2/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 8
12 oz can from Tavour, rated yesterday up the river. Aroma is citrus rind, peach. Pours like peach puree with a collapsing off-white head. Taste is tart (7/10) and a lot like carbonated peach juice with a hint of alcohol. Not getting the vanilla. Good fruit beer.

Draft. A- Guava, passionfruit, papaya, tropical fruits, mild sourness. A- Golden orange color, cloudy liquid, minimal head. T- Guava, papaya, mango, subtle banana, mild tartness, fruity. P- Medium body, creamy texture, average carbonation, juicy finish. O- Loaded with tropical and juicy fruits. A touch of sourness but not overkill. Drinks really easy and refreshing. Wished there were cans of this so I could have grabbed some. Really nice and would like to have again.
