UPDATE!!! Prohibition Resistance Tour

TOUR RESCHEDULED FOR APRIL 12 & 13!!!

You are invited to travel back to Nineteenth Century Cincinnati and explore the city’s rich brewing heritage, both above and below ground. The Brewery District, in conjunction with Cincinnati Museum Center at Union Terminal and the John Hauck House Museum, will be presenting the Prohibition Resistance Tour.

Each tour will start at Museum Center, where the tour will include an admission voucher to the Cincinnati History Museum's Beer, Breweries and Barons: A History of Cincinnati’s Brewing Industry exhibit. Greg Hardman, the CEO of Christian Moerlein Brewing Company, will give a presentation on the amazing story of how Christian Moerlein left his native Germany and started one of the biggest breweries in the country, a story that mirrors the history of Cincinnati. The bus tour will include many of the remaining historic brewery buildings in Cincinnati, including the John Hauck Dayton Street Brewery, the Clyffside Brewery, the Jackson Brewery, and the Christian Moerlein Brewery. We will explore the life of another of Cincinnati's great brewers at the John Hauck House Museum, where this restored mansion on Cincinnati's original "Millionaire's Row" contains original antiques, furnishings and brewing memorabilia. Our final stop is at the Kauffmann Brewery on Vine Street, where we will journey through the sub-basements and tunnels of the brewery, spaces unused since Prohibition and never before opened to the public.

Tickets are going fast and this is a great way to see some of the spectacular buildings and areas of Downtown and OTR that the Streetcar will benefit the most.

Shameless plug...our buildings are on the tour!

We hope to see you there!!!

Streetcar Finance Committee Hearing Follow Up

For those of you that made the time to come to City Hall on Monday afternoon....Thank you, your voice and presence did not go without notice. For those of you that were unable to attend, it went about as well as any supporter could have hoped.

Short and sweet, we should know how the administration will proceed in about 2 weeks. There were over an hour of public comments (30+ people) which was absolutely amazing, and can't help but make a positive impact on the committee's decision.

Keep your fingers crossed, keep writing the council members and hopefully we will all be delivered some grand news in 2 weeks.
