It’s week five on our quest to visit and write about a Cincinnati brewery each week in 2019. I’m hoping that we’ll be able to cover just about every one by year’s end!

Breweries in Cincinnati Series Week #5: Visit to Municipal Brew Works
The story behind Municipal Brew Works is rooted in the building. The brewery is located in the old city “municipal” building (aka The Frederick G. Mueller Building).
Step inside Municipal Brew Works to find a selection of 15 beers. You’re sure to find something you like from their wide range of styles. Want to try something new? Just ask one of the bartenders – they’re all Cicerone Certified Beer Servers.
Municipal Brew Works is located in Hamilton’s DORA boundary. What’s the DORA boundary? It’s a 195 acre outdoor refreshment area within the city. Patrons purchase a 1-time-use DORA cup at a local establishment and then have it filled with the drink of their choice. A DORA cup can be carried around outside, anywhere within the boundary.
