Here's something from the local paper on beer bars in Cincinnati:

Yard House and Moerlein Lager House are very close to each other (Banks area near the river). Rheingeist is still pretty new but brewing some very good beer. If you are interested in beer stores, head right across the river into Kentucky and hit the Party Source. Their selection is pretty amazing.

 

amazing doesnt begin to describe it. i love it when i go visit my best friend in loveland and can make it down to the party source.

 

Hit Rhinegeist, best place in Cinci IMO.

 

Party Source/Ei8ht Ball Brewing is an absolute must visit. http://ei8htballbrewing.com/

 

I second party source/8ball
Yard house and Lager house are both nice.

if you are willing to take a drive... you should hit the comet in northside

It's about a 15min drive from downtown. Last weekend was their annual hopnosis event... 30 kegs over two days... the week after they put the leftovers on tap. The weather was really bad this year so there will be LOTS of leftovers. Some amazing/rare beers to be had.

 

Here's a few more recommendations...two of my favorite spots: http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/31093

Also, I agree with what others have said, you should definitely go to The Party Source/ 8Ball and Moerlein Lager House.

 

Rhinegeist's beers are gross, IMO. Moerlein has awesome food. Get the cheese and meat plate and get candied pork belly. Head to the MadTree taproom if you get a chance. Best local beers without a doubt. If you're staying at the airport, Hollywood Casino has a new beer bar just across the river in Lawrenceburg, IN. Some pretty sweet beer bars in Hebron too, PM me if you need details.

Party Source rules, but Party Town in Florence, KY is closer to the airport and pretty awesome as well.

 

Just so you know, the airport is about 25 minutes from downtown or the party source. You'll be in lovely Hebron, KY.

 

Although I haven't been, I've heard mostly good things about Hebron Brew Haus. Should be close enough.

 

If your looking for the largest selection - yard house
Rarer beers and beer store - eightball
Food with beer - Lager House
Local brewery - rhinegheist

I work in Hebron and can make it to party source/eightball in my lunch hour including picking up some subway. It's really not that far. Lager house and yard house a few miles closer.

And btw iso parrrie (pirate) bomb

 

party town in florence, ky has a pretty good selection and is closer to the airport. good prices too... and 18 beers on the growler station... which sells by the pint, quart, 1/2 gallon or FULL gallon.
