Local Brew Logo
​

Good morning, Clermont County. Ten years and countless sour brews later, Urban Artifact has cemented its place in Cincinnati's craft beer legacy. The Northside brewery marked its milestone anniversary with a jubilant celebration featuring their signature fruit-infused creations, from Golden Gadget to Cherries Jubilee, proving that a decade of dedication to "Real fruit, sour beer" has paid off deliciously for this local institution.

While some establishments toast the present, others are embracing Cincinnati's storied past. From The Davidson's nod to the iconic Tyler Davidson Fountain to Northern Row Brewery's acknowledgment of pre-Prohibition brewing traditions, new restaurants are serving history alongside their entrees. In more somber local news, a routine mushroom hunt in Clermont County took an unexpected turn when human remains were discovered, prompting an investigation that now involves specialized search teams and the Hamilton County Coroner's Office.
