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

Tap at Man In The Moon. Pours pale yellow with a fizzy, white head. Aroma of lemon detergent (urinal cake), old person lavender and sticky, cheap perfume. Taste is yuzu citric, perfumy. Can't get over the urinal cake smell. Gross.

Sample at Ohio Taproom. Hazy orange color with a medium bone white head that recedes steadily to an outer ring. Short strings of lace. Fruity aroma with yeast and vanilla notes. Medium body with flavors of tart peach, yeast, vanilla and malt. The finish is mildly tart with a peach and vanilla aftertaste. Above average overall.

Can from BD Castlegate. It pours hazy/cloudy golden with a quickly dissipating white head. The aroma is soft, fresh, fruity, grapefruit, tangy lemonade, marmalade, fruit cordial and bread. The taste is crisp, dry, tart, touch lactic, grapefruit, lemon, pithy, zesty, lime, cloudy lemonade, decent mouth - pucker and fruit gums with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Good fruity character. A bit heavy for the style perhaps, but enjoyable nonetheless.

bottle - Hazy gold. The aroma is of citrusy hops and some mild brett. The flavor is moderately bitter with citrus, resin, and brett. I was a little leery of this one, but the "wild ipa" works better than I expected. Interesting brew.
