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

Draft - Grapedruit, grass and citrus peel. Cloudy gold with a white head. Bright, bitter pale malts and citrus with a bit of peel on the finish. Nice.

Sample at the OTR Beerfest during Cincinnati Beer Week. Brownish-amber color with a medium foamy light beige head that recedes steadily to an outer ring. Short strings of lace. Aroma of tart fruit, malt and chocolate. Medium to full body with flavors of sweet chocolate, malt and tart fruit. The finish is sweet-tart chocolate and raspberry aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

On draught at Flipdaddy’s. The beer is a dark brownish-amber color with a medium thin foamy light beige head that diminishes steadily to a film. Small patches of lacing. Aroma of malt, coffee and fruit. Medium to full body with flavors of caramel malt, tart fruit and coffee. The finish is sweet and malty up front with a mildly tart fruit aftertaste. Decent overall.

On draught at Bob’s Bar during the "Inaugural Bob’s Bar Sour Spectacular!" on 02/12/2016. The beer pours a slightly cloudy brown color with a medium thin off-white head that recedes steadily. Small patches of lacing on the glass. Aroma of berries, yeast and malt. Light-bodied with flavors of semi-tart raspberry, chocolate malt and yeast. The finish is mildly funky berry and chocolate. Above average overall.
