Why a beer exhibit? In the late 1890s, beer consumption in Cincinnati was
two-and-a-half times the national average. To satisfy such a significant
beer drinking community, the Cincinnati brewery industry grew to meet the
demands, resulting in one of the largest collections of pre-Prohibition
brewery buildings in the United States.



*Bricks, Barrel Vaults & Beer* is created in partnership with The Brewery
District Community Urban Redevelopment Corporation and sponsored by the
Josephine Schell Russell Charitable Trust, PNC Bank, Trustee; the John
Hauck Foundation, Fifth Third Bank, John W. Hauck, E. Allen Elliot, and
Narley L. Haley, Co-Trustees;; and the Ohio Humanities Council.
