We had a really fun evening at Listermann Brewing Company's beer and cheese pairing event. The pairing of four of their beers with Urban Stead Cheese Company had been thoughtfully chosen. A representative from both the Listermann and Urban Stead gave us some background on their businesses and then talked a little about each offering. We enjoyed all of the beers, but Chickow!, a Double Brown Ale with Hazelnut, was definitely our favorite. Hubby even bought some cans to bring home! Their restaurant is closed on Tuesdays, so perhaps we'll go back on another day of the week next time to check them out as well. read more

One of my favorite activities when traveling with friends of like mind is some beer tourism. This was our first spot in Cincinnati. We had hoped for food, but the business that does food in the building is another company and they were out for spring break. So sad. ;-) The brewery has a nice vibe to it. There is a small taproom with a much larger Oktoberfest styled hall (meaning large community tables). There are plugs here if you work remote, although I would NEVER do that. :P The beers are not the best I had in Cincy, but they are above the average in Cincy, so it is definitely above average. It is also a well-known, stable brewery. I understand Listermann recently sold the spot, so it will be interesting to see if there are changes going forward. The board is a bit heavy at this point, with quite a few brews over 10%. My feelings on the beers? The IPAs are decent, but they shine brightly with their stouts and pastry sours. The blackberry cobbler sour (12%) and Forbidden Imperial Stout got my top marks. Would love to return and see how the food is here, but spring break worked against me. If you go through my profile, you will find I have a couple of hidden gems we found on our trek. read more

Great small town feel! Service was 10 out of 10 and they have really good choices of beer.

It's always a bad thing when you roll into a brewery that you don't really have time to go to and then they have the audacity to have a bunch of beers you want to try. Clearly, that is what happened here when my buddy and I had about an hour before we had to be somewhere. We fit in two beers each, but there were a lot more I wanted to try! Service was very friendly, place was pretty clean and nice atmosphere. Need to get back when I've got more time. read more

Don't hesitate and drop in! Went in for the tour with a friend and the guide is so engaging but also gets all the information across quickly. The seasonal beer here is great because it's all made in small batches and I love that they sell at home brew kits along with their flavor buckets so you can try your hand at it on your own. read more

Decent amount of choices but to me only ok. Tried a sample pour of one of their beers but that was it. Parking was a little confusing to me at first as I am not from the area. Circled the block to park around the corner on the street. read more

Been a customer since the early 90's. It was the go-to place for homebrew supplies for the tri-state and beyond. Often mentioned in several Brewers Guild publications. Now to look at it. It seems to be ready to close. Shelves are nearly empty - looks like a going out of business sale. The last 3 times there they did not have anything I needed. Last visit they did not have the very comment yeast I needed and they "system" did not recognize my gift card. This is all very sad. I'm sad to see hat the new owners have done to this Brewing Supply Icon. :( read more

Great brewery in Cincinnati. They do all the different beer styles very well. Big open spaces in the brewery and several TVs playing sports. read more

Excellent beer experiences with Listermann! Steve and I were fortunate enough to get three different beers from this wonderful brewery. The first beer we had was their Shamrock Shake. This stout had a wonderful creamy texture and a great coffee flavor. It definitely was a memorable and an excellent beer to start off with from this very fine brewery. Next we kept the beers dark. This time around we had a pastry stout and got the Atlanta Bannana Cabana, 2021. This wasn't my favorite out of the three beers we had but I still thought pretty highly of it. What I did like was the nutty and maple flavors in this beer. The last one we took a lighter route after having two dark beers. We had the Lager King next and I must say this was an excellent lager and I came to the tough decision if I liked the first beer better than the third one. Well, it's okay to have two favorites, right? This light. crisp and crushable lager Steve and I both enjoyed immensely and we had a very hard time not wanting more of it once we were finished but that wasn't meant to be. Excellent brewery and well worth trying out the beers they have to offer. read more

I was ready for a day out and a friend suggested this place, so we went for lunch. Quiet place, but steady with customers. There's seating available inside, at the bar, and patio. I had the 8" veggie pizza with no olives. It was hot and great! The service was also great. The bartender was very considerate and allowed us to order when ready. This is a family friendly, LGBTQ+ friendly restaurant. They are definitely representing for pride right now. If supporting local restaurants tickles your fancy, there's also merchandise available for purchase. read more

First time here for me and my Husband was absolutely an enjoyable experience! Bartenders were so helpful, friendly and knowledgeable offered me many options and flavors available to a non drinking beer person. Tried some meads and dessert stouts was pretty impressive i enjoyed almost everything i sampled. The ambiance was right up our alley sitting at the bar having personal conversations with the bartenders. We Will definitely be back great job Listermann Brewing and tickle pickle their burgers and fries were amazing i had the Pearl Jam while my husband had their special Big Miller like a big Mack on steroids and much better of course no comparison (only ingredients description wise) gourmet style and fries were seasoned so well that i didn't even use ketchup!

First, an important aside: they have a Fiona beer, but aren't they forgetting someone? What about... Harambe? #neverforget. I have been to Listermann a few times over the years, and it keeps getting better. I am allergic to gluten, but I have a friend from Texas who begs to come to Listermann for the Nutcase (a peanut butter porter), so we visited again this weekend during his visit to Cincinnati. I am happy to say that they recently added a cider to their list - a pear semi-sweet cider for those that cannot enjoy their beers. Even though I do have the allergy I took the tiniest sip of the following: Friar Bacon, Daphne, XU, Nutcase, Cinnamon Roll Cranium and the "Don't talk Sh!t About Norwood." They were all great - but in some cases very heavy/rich. I think their beers are best enjoyed in small flights since in some instances they have strong, exotic tastes. (I mean, the Cinnamon Roll is even described as a, "pastry stout" --- sounds a bit diabetogenic and tasted intensely spicy...) Overall, I always enjoy Listermann and will return more frequently if I find that the ciders rotate or they expand their wine/ mead offerings (...or once they add that Harambe drink to their menu). read more

In recent years, Urban Artifact was the must-hit place every time I went to Cincinnati. After hearing about this place(everyone in Louisville is in love with Listermann) for so long, this Cincinnati visit took me there. After dropping my girlfriend off at UC for a test, I had a half-day to kill. Listermann was priority number one but I needed to wait until 10 AM for it to open. I appreciate the early open time. Most to all of the other breweries I checked don't open until 11 AM-Noon. Unlike other popular beer places in the city, it's not in a big church. It's not in a big building in a popular part of town. It sits on a busy road near Xavier University. The building is the common industrial type that we've grown used to in craft beer world. There is the tap area which is more like a small bar. There is also another area with picnic tables, huge garage doors(which are probably awesome in the summer), TVs and a few games. They also had another tap/bar area in the big room. Additionally, there is an onsite restaurant. I checked the menu but didn't order since it was earlier in the day. There had a variety of food that sounded delicious. I tried two flights while here and ended up coming home with quite a few bottles for later. I love that they don't try to bottle in larger bottles. Most of their stuff is in smaller bottles which also means a much smaller price tag for take-home beer. Beers I tried: -- Chickow Cinnamon Roll - Delicious but nowhere near as Cinnamon Rolly as Father Kyle's. -- Don't talk Sh!t About Norwood - I generally don't like pale ales but this one was easily drinkable. -- Cincinnati Style Stout - This was my least favorite of the bunch. Too syrupy. -- Nutcase Peanut Butter Porter - I love pb beers when you can actually taste the peanuts. -- Give me Something to Bake - I was expecting more pastries but all I got was a medicine taste. Drinkable but I only need an ounce or two. -- Father Kyle's Cinnamon Roll Stout - Wow! I'm still amazed by how much this tasted like a cinnamon roll. So much so, that I bought 4 bottles of it to bring home. -- Pocket Treats - A good Triple IPA but it was a little too hoppy for me. -- Operation Flintlock: Peanut Butter - It gets better with every sip. More peanuts. More butter. If this was close by, I'd order it every time. I wish they would've had bottles of this beer. There are plenty of things to love about this brewery. They rely on their beer to speak to you. It's not super fancy. There aren't many other things in the immediate area, and it's simple. I'm also a fan of their artwork. Take a look at the bottles in the case even if you're not buying. In the men's restroom, there are also old labels on one of the walls. I'm not sure if the women's restroom is the same. I only planned to stay there for an hour before moving on to the next brewery but I ended up staying for two. It was a relaxing and carefree experience all around. Even if other breweries remain your favorite, you owe it to yourself to check out Listermann. read more

Still top of my list of all around favorite beers in the city when it comes to craft breweries. The tap room is a great low key space. The bartenders are always awesome and during my past visit handled a very out of hand customer in a super professional and calm manner, thus saving the day for all bar patrons! I love getting flights here as they always have great new things to try and I. LIKE. THEM. ALL! Plenty of seating at the bar, few small tables in there, lots of fan gear, beer take homes, and growlers to fill. There is a larger room to the other side with games, tvs, and tons of tables. This is also where Renegade grill is located (order and pickup food at their window). Just FYI my all time fave beer here is Nutcase. Love you Listermann! read more

Came here on a Monday night to grab a drink - arrived just after 7 and was quickly disappointed to find out the bar closed at 8 but still decided to stay for a drink and try this place out. I got the Hello My Passionfruit ($6-$7) which was a Kettle Sour w/ Passionfruit (4.3% ABV) - and as a fan of sours and fruity beets I thought it was REALLY good! Good enough where I wished I could have had another or tried a few more beers - but just means I will have to take another trip here! My boyfirend got the Chickwow! ($6-$7) which was a Double Brown Ale brewed with hazelnuts. It is known for being their well-decorated ale that apparently now has hundreds of variants and imitators (10% ABV) - I am not a fan of dark beers but he really seemed to like it and said he would have also had another / tried some more if time had permitted. Overall I thought the bar was kind of small and it was a tad crowded with a bunch of skiers who must have come in for a drink post a full day of skiing. The bartender was super quick tho and made sure that you got a drink fast - especially with the bar closing within in the hour. Definitely a cool place where I could see myself hanging out, trying a flight of their beers, and possibly grabbing something to eat - another great addition to my Cincinnati Brewery rotation!

Listermann is truly one of my top favorite breweries in the Cincinnati area and has been for quite some time. They always have a plethora of incredible beers on tap with a great variety for everyone. No matter your tastes, you're sure to find something you'll enjoy thoroughly. Looking for some tasty bites with your brews? Check our Renegade Grille right inside, serving lots of great grub. From fried mac & cheese balls to Belgian style fries and waffles to burgers and sandwiches and lots more. Their signature item is their wings, cooked to order, and available in a variety of delicious sauces which are baked into the wings. The place itself is very laid back too with lots of seating space both at the bar and in the beer garden area as well as outside. The beertenders are always happy to assist with suggestions and will let you sample before you decide on a pint. Sit back, relax, and enjoy a brew or two! Are you a homebrewer? Check out their wide array of brewing supplies. First time brewer? They have a knowledgeable staff for that too. They'll give you great advice to help you concoct you our beer. With so many reasons to stop by, there's only one question left... Are you there yet? Put Listermann on your "list" and give it a go! read more

I've passed this brewery so many times and never stopped in. I now realize I've been missing out big time! The name "Listermann" doesn't really pop out like MadTree or Rhinegeist but I promise you the beer is better. They have so many wild card options and if your not in a craft mood they've got one called "Just a beer" which is pretty good! We went two days in a row , I was able to try out a combined 10 or so beers and nearly every one was a winner. My only complaint is the seating situation. The venue itself isn't very large and it's hard to snag a spot to sit. Overall -fantastic beer, decent venue. I'll definitely be back and most likely will purchase a T-shirt. read more

For years, I've wanted to visit Listermann Brewing. Finally got a day off during the weekday and my husband & I went. Located in Norwood near Xavier University. You cannot missed the old building. I love the old school picnic tables, very small and intimate. The taproom is very simple and beer menu is listed on the wall. My husband and I started off with a flight. Which includes 4 small pours (pricing ranges $1.00 to $2.00 depending on the beer. Here is what we tried: -Double Beagle (Zythos Hops) -Nutcase (Peanut Butter Porter)- My favorite! I had to buy a 4 pack togo. -Planetary Eclipse (Black IPA) -Losantiville Pre-Prohibition Lager All beers had a SMOOTH finish and did not leave an after taste. We had a couple more pints after the flight tasting. Especially the Nutcase! Shockingly, I liked the Planetary Eclipse. My husband is more of the IPA drinker. I would now consider Listermann Brewing Company as one of my favorite local beers in Cincinnati. Next to the taproom is a Homebrew Supply Store for both Beer and Wine. I would definately like to try to make/brew my own beer. Overall, a great experience and would definately return. The people are friendly and very knowledable. read more

Recently learned that Listermann's now has a "table fee" of $10 for the privilege of using disposal serviceware and cleaning supplies. Seems like these are part of the cost of doing business so I don't know why they expect the customers to pay for it. If they are trying to welcome back customers, penalizing them with a charge like this is a really poor way to do it. read more

My sister and I had purchased a Living Social voucher good for a tour for 2, 2 pint glasses and a growler at this location. So we headed down on a Friday night to get our beer tour on. This facility is smaller than most other brewery and taprooms I've visited but it's very charming. It was busy and filled with enthusiastic basketball fans when we arrived so it helped put us in a festive mood. We were about 30 minutes early for the tour so we decided to try a flight of beer to get started. We sampled Nutcase (a peanut butter porter), Shamrock Shake (a milk/sweet stout), Chickow! (a hazelnut brown ale), and Roots (ginger beer). My sister liked Roots the best and I also thought this was an interesting tasting beer, very unique. I opted for a pint of the peanut butter porter which was good but very heavy. The tour was short but informative. I enjoyed our tour guides personality and enthusiasm. read more

What a great place conveniently located near Xavier U. If the board is out front, they are pouring. I stopped by quickly to pick up a growler and a limited edition growler. I ended up with the Blood orange wheat IPA - it was surprisingly delicious for a 7.0 ABV. Most quick sip samples I had were relatively full bodied and delivered a flavor punch, not just a hop whallop. The tasting room is small but cute and staff is very helpful. read more

Had a nice evening at Listermann Brewing Company. We ordered two flights. In doing so, we were able to try eight of their brews. My top three were the Blaubeere, Irish Cream Stout and Nutcase. Blaubeere (blueberry) had a very floral and fruity taste. There was a balance of sweet and sour. It would make a refreshing sorbet flavor. The Irish Cream Stout tasted just like it sounds. It smelled really good too. Renegade Grille offeres an adult float. Both the Blaubeere or Irish Cream seem like they would pair well. The Nutcase ends with a pungent natural peanut taste. Taking a sip of it, then a sip of the Blaubeere leaves a slight peanut butter and jelly taste in the mouth. While I was not a fan of the Lemon Pound Cake beer, I was impressed with the clarity of it. It looked like lemon Jell-O. The lower level had more of a pub vibe. The antique looking bar, and warm wood tables gave it that feel. Near the door is a cooler where bottled and canned beers may be selected for purchase. Just up the stairs to the left is a much more open space. Picnic tables give the area a laid back feel. Garage doors and a long patio run parallel to the street. Renegade Grille, and the bathrooms are also located up there. Board games and an electronic juke box are up there as well. By the time we were done with our visit, the brewing supply shop had closed. We will be back again to check that out. read more

So I don't know if we came here on an odd night but the vibe was just odd. We walked in no one really said anything to us when we approached the bar. I cannot explain it but my husband and I were just totally uncomfortable here. When we sat down in the back at the benches it was sticky. People were oddly staring at us like we were out of place. The entire vibe turned us both off and we were uncomfortable the entire time. On to the beer: I asked for some suggestions didn't really get much feedback. We got two beers and were not impressed. He got cincinnati something and I got a crumble cake one. We just weren't feeling it. This was our first and last time. read more

Came here to try some beers, and we had a great time! We love that this place is small, and there is so much love that goes into all of the beers. The staff was super friendly and had great recommendations. Our favorites were the scoring discrepancy (made with real PB and puréed raspberries) and "the gang goes to Jersey Shore" pastry stout. They always have fun new flavors that rotate in, and I'm excited to give some of them a try! Awesome local brewery and I'd highly recommend. read more

I had been in here once for a Bombs Away Comedy show (good time), but I didnt have any beer the first time, now that I can drink fairly irregularly I thought I'd try them out again when a friend was in town. She and I went in for the early afternoon on a Friday before Christmas. They were pretty sparse but the barstaff were friendly and allowed us to sample a few things before we made our selections. THough we both liked the "Mexican Chocolate" (a darker beer with really full body and flavor) and that's what she went with, meanwhile I chose the "Applie Pie Cider" because it was super light and refreshing (if a little sweet... but it's a cider after all). For 8% alcohol, it was all of $6 each beer, and absolutely delicious. We both drank our beers leisurely, feeling no pressure to move on with the lack of crowd, but the staff offered us refills or additional beers if we wanted at various points. Tasty beers, quality staff, good pricing, and solid events on their calendar. Check them out! read more

I was also very pleased with their social distancing efforts. The tables were well spaced. All of the employees also wore masks. read more

Listermann Brewing Company was such a surprise for me! I had had their beer before but had never actually been to their brewery. First off this place is sort of hidden. It's in Norwood in kind of an industrial type area by Xavier. But once you find it, it will be like an oasis of beer heaven! I usually don't like super dark beer but their peanut butter porter, the "Nutcase" is great and usually what people rave about. Not only are they getting serious recognition here in Ohio and Cincinnati, they recently won the "Ohio Brewery of the Year" award in an NYC beer competition. After learning this, I chatted with Jason, one of the head brewers there and he said what makes them different is the fact that they take ordinary beers and flip them on their heads. Whether it's by infusing them with different flavors, or coming up with really cool seasonals. They are all about thinking out of the box and I like that! They also fill growlers, and have a cool little store right inside where you can buy stuff to make beer at home. The tap room is small but comfy. The beers are well orgainized and listed on the chalkboard. I hate not knowing about the beer at other breweries. I am a bad picker and can never decide so having them laid out is nice. Also, not sure what you want? Ask anyone behind the counter and they can point you in the right direction! Seriously, if you like beer, GO SEE THEM. read more
