Another great addition to the Cincinnati area! My boyfriend and I tried Brink at the Cincy Beerfest and was excited to try more of their beers. We went on an a Saturday afternoon. Plenty of seating (outdoor patio as well) inside and love the simple decor and lighting. There is a BBQ food truck in the back which we didn't get to try but will in the future. What I love about this place is that it's pet friendly, so feel free to bring them in (water bowl inside). We wanted to try the flight of 5 for $9.00. Decided to get two flights. Here is what we tried: Burns Sarah saison Down Time Summer Ale Even Flow Brink Berry Wheat J-boy IPA 2.0 Armored Heart w/ Sidewinder coffee Russian Imperial Stout Debbie Blonde Jake Leg blood orange IPA Galaxy pale ale Brink Brown Ale Moozie Milk Stout My favorites are the saison, summer ale, berry wheat and both the stouts. My least favorite was the J-Boy IPA. It was alittle too earthy for me. They do have growlers to go and parking is located in the back. I really enjoyed my time here and will definitely return. read more

Edit: changed to a 5/5 because their King Cake beer killed me and then brought me back to life. AMAZING. The Beyoncé of beers, Idk what I was thinking before.... Brink is our local neighborhood brewery! We really enjoy it a lot, the only reason I am giving it a 4 star instead of a 5 star is on weekends they get very crowded so I wish they were larger! Their beers are really good. I had the Chocolate hefewizen which is incredible taste if you think about it... they have some really great complicated but tasty flavors and so far, the food trucks available outside have been really great as well! We enjoy bringing our dog to the brewery and playing cards. read more

Traveling from Columbus Ohio! This place was a must visit for me because it's my last name. We got here on Monday when they opened doors in evening. We tried the flight. Got 10 different beers and they all tasted very good! From stouts to ales and sours to IPA, you should not be disappointed. We also bought their merchandise which consists of metal signs, shirts, hoodies, and glasses. The inside is clean and well kept. The patio out back is large and spacious too. Staff was friendly and was a great time! Parking out back in lot! Thanks. read more

Friendly helpful staff! With a new hot brewery that is always changing the beers, this is extremely helpful. I have been to Brink several times this summer and the beers are always varied and flavorful! The vast amount of micro-brews popping up means that they have to differentiate themselves in order to stay competitive. They have done it by crafting unique beers that all taste different. The atmosphere is kid friendly and social. Very open and they welcome deliveries from the pizza place next door. The have some snack mixes and nuts behind the bar for sale too. We tried all 3 and the mix was my favorite. This place is still buzzing off the recent medal wins so expect crowds. read more

Brink is a gem!! Just having opened, they are not holding any punches. So many beers to try, and a large variety at that. For $9.00 you can try 5 samples, so it's a great value as well. I had their Saison and their Berry Wheat, both really refreshing. The Saison was a little hoppier than I remember them being, but certainly could be my taste at the time and not a reflection of the beer. I went to Brink after a volunteering event with Give Back Cincinnati; the bartenders were so gracious to host our group of 50 and did not bat at an eye at the crowd and even let us bring in a catered order of Chipotle to enjoy with our beers. While we were there, a group came in that seemed to be on a "beer bus," and all looked happy and were promptly served. The space is bright and seemed great for a date or a casual afternoon or evening. They do have televisions, but they also have a back patio which is nice, including garage doors that open up to bring all this light and fresh air in. It is hard to say I'll be returning given the distance from my house but if I'm in that area of town, for sure I will be back. I even bought a glass for myself and one for a friend because they were so unique; not a typical pint glass at all. Thanks Brink for the hospitality! read more

Brink Brewing - Breweries Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

I am really excited that the West side of Cincinnati is getting another brewery. Last night, I got to visit Brink Brewing for a soft opening. We got to check out the taproom and they had 5 beers on tap. The space is really nice. They have renovated a storefront that is from the 1920's. It features an exposed brick wall, tile ceilings and lot of industrial and wood features. The space is polished but very warm and welcoming. And the beer is very much the same. They are opening with a blonde ale, brown ale, amber ale and two IPAs. There is something for everyone. Personally, the amber stood out as the most unique because it is dry-hopped but the IPAs were my favorite. Definitely make it a point to stop in and check this place out. They are part of the movement to bring back College Hill and I think the future is bright on Hamilton Ave. read more

We love going places with our dogs and at Brink they are always welcome! The beer is delicious and the staff are great. They do not serve food so it is BYOF or you can order from a wonderful Italian restaurant next door and they will deliver or they have great food trucks. read more

Brink Brewing - King Cake - Breweries Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

The bar looks great, and the staff is helpful and cheerful. But the most important thing is the beer: it's terrific. The session IPA is as good as any I've had, and the Broken Sprocket is a delight. They are going to add more varieties soon, and I'm expecting good things. These beers have already won awards, and I see why. Red Rose will supply the pizza, and you will be happy they did. read more

Didn't love the beer options here, but it was cheap compared to most breweries. Brink beers just don't seem to have a lot of flavor. The space was neat - I would describe it as modern with lots of seating and a patio out back. Probably wouldn't go back. read more

Great craft beer with at least 12-15 beers on the menu. Terrific open space inside and out door seating. Lots of free parking and very dog friendly. No food for sale here but there are a pizza place and taco places next door. Some of the beers are very high in alcohol, so be careful! read more

This was our second visit, and it was excellent. Great beers and a spacious area outside to enjoy our beers. We had a couple IPA's which were very good, in particular the N E style. I also appreciate the dog friendly environment. Recommended! read more

Highly recommend the beer here! We stopped in to get their king cake beer after Mardi Gras and it was delicious. It was very sweet and tasted like funfetti cake. Not sure if that is something they normally have or if it was just for the holiday - but I hope they continue to brew it! They also are dog friendly throughout the entire venue and sell Brewhaus Dog Bones, which my little guy loves. 10/10 would recommend. read more

Brink Brewing - King Cake Beer! - Breweries Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Had a great night seeing some friends and enjoyed some awesome beer. I had the Duncan Clan scotch ale and the Moozie both were great.

This place is such a disappointment. Great location, pretty good atmosphere, everyone seems very nice, but damn their beers are bad. I have never been to a brewery I actively disliked. I've always been able to find *something* they do well, but we tried ten beers (two flights), and couldn't finish half of them. Most of their brews are sickeningly sweet. The best we could say was that we didn't actually hate three out of the ten. read more

Full disclosure: I am a wine fan, not a beer fan. That being said, Brink is a welcome addition to the College Hill area. The space is ample and has a nice flow. There is a long bar as well as several tables occupying the large open floor plan. There is a food truck outside, as well as the option to bring in outside vittles from Red Rose Pizza. The tap boasts IPAs and Browns ranging from the pale yellow all the way to the rich ruby of, say, a Guinness. The service was friendly and prompt, with every server helping to meet customer needs. They can fill up super quickly on the weekends, so I suggest getting there early. It is so nice to see something like this in College Hill as an option for the beer enthusiasts. I will definitely return. read more

Really good beers. Went in and got a flight so I could try a bunch and not be the "sample" guy. There is a reason that they won so many awards, these beers were great. No food but there is tons of stuff around them you can bring in I recommend the taco place it's killer. And dog friendly so it's just that much better read more

I really like the atmosphere. It was fun and crowded. But unfortunately, the beer is not good at all. :( read more

Had a great first time at my hometown brewery. Sarah the Bar Manager and her brother Michael, the bartender are incredibly personable. If you are looking for incredible craft beer and a personal experience, (we had a private tour of the brewery) come to Brink! read more

Brink Brewing - This is a picture of the Brewery itself which we received a private tour of. - Breweries Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Our favorite stop on our tour of westside breweries. We happened to be there on their one year anniversary, so things were a little more happening than usual. The wide variety of beers they had on tap was great, we were able to have the super sweet Kings Cake and some really hoppy IPA's as well, something for everyone. The space is really cute and everyone was very friendly. Free parking lot in the back with a nice patio as well. We'll be back! read more

Solid small brewery in a part of Cincy that few venture. Seems to be for the locals. Service is ok but slow. Not a fan of having to write out your own flights. The beers were very average, but one stout was great. Wish there was food. Not sure how this is back to back gabf small brewery winner, what am I missing? read more

Brew is king. Cool vibe neighborhood place. Good collection of tasty beer with ample space to enjoy indoor or outdoor. We got great Italian delivered from3 doors down. Try it. read more

I am the owner of MashRoots the Latin restaurant next to Brink Brewing and I just want to clarify that Brink Brewing and their team have been noting but welcoming to the Latino community. The have enabled and partnered with us to throw several Latin events and last night was no different. Unfortunately early on there was some miscommunication with customers and our policies for beverages out in the patio. His team was doing an amazing and courteous job of reminding customers of the rules. Unfortunately some customers were not happy with the enforcement that needed to be had to properly follow our mandated beverage laws. One in particular wrote a very hurtful review that is based on being upset at the situation and rules we needed to follow, which I understand being upset. However I assure you there is no basis to say that Brink and their staff do not support diversity. In the contrary they have been nothing but supporters of diversity and accepting all of our ideas at MashRoots. Feel free to personally reach out to me if you have any questions pertaining to the matter. Guillermo Vidal - Cofounder MashRoots 305-975-3685 read more

We're not from the area and we stopped by to try a few beers and we are so happy with the decision. Couldn't believe how many gluten reduced beers they offered and all of them were great. They don't have food but the Latin street food restaurant next door will deliver it to your table, which we tried and it was pretty solid. We would definitely go back if we are in town again. read more

Can't wait until they get food. They do have a food truck out back which more than makes up for no internal kitchen so not really a complaint Great beer and service read more

Stopped by Brink for the first time a few weekends ago and I was very impressed. We tried a flight of beers and all of them were impressive. Bonus points for allowing dogs to hang out as well. We will be back! read more

We went opening weekend to check out Brink, and even though they ran low on beer, I was super impressed with the IPA and the blonde. Great space and great staff. Brink is going to change the face of College Hill, and I can't wait to go back for another taste. read more

Great BEER and WONDERFUL staff!! Very relaxed atmosphere and ordered food from next door. We had a GREAT time! Thank you!!!!

Opening day was great. Renegade Eats food truck and Red Rose Pizza were happily providing nibbles. Beer selection is limited to IPA and Browns, but quality of the brew leads me to be optimistic on future recipes. Come over and have a pint! read more

This is the best brewery in Cincinnati. Just go there. I mean it. Go now. Have a beer and order a pizza next door.

Brink has a really great space you can access from either the front (street) or back (parking lot). The location is also really easy to get in and out of which is such a win being on Hamilton Ave. I was only able to try a few beers. They seem to have a ton of IPAs on tap. Usually I do not like them, but the one I tried was much milder and pretty drinkable to an IPA-hater like myself. I also tried the saison which was a little more on the bitter side, and less funky-spicy. They could have used more bartenders, but there was a big happy hour group that showed up and it turned into a really nice day outside which probably made it busier too. You can bring in outside food. read more

Excellent craft brews, really cool place with plenty of parking and wonderful service.

Pretty solid all the way around great space, great beer, and great people. I've had nothing but good experiences every time I have been there. Milkshake IPA, is their claim to fame, in my personal opinion. Can't what to stop through again... read more

My wife and I visited Brink Brewery today and had some of their usual great beers. Then we noticed their Brinktoberfest beer. It is a 6% ABV brew in the Octoberfest family. My two favorite Octoberfest beers are Sam Adams' Octoberfest and Bell's Octoberfest. This beer blew them away. It had a great malty taste, but wasn't as sweet as the others. Also, it had no aftertaste. It was perfect. Brink has mastered the lagers in general but this Brinktoberfest was perfect! read more

This is a great space- exposed brick and wood everywhere, plenty of seating and a big bar. There are lots of games and coloring for kids (and adults, if you please). My husband approved of the beers, and it looked like they have some creative combinations! Sadly, I am not a beer drinker and there weren't any other alcoholic beverages for me. I've been to a lot of breweries in my time and this is solid. read more
