Brewery Profile

Queen City Brewery of Cincinnati

Blue Ash gives this Cincinnati-area brewery a suburban address, but its stated identity points back toward the broader Queen City region. The operation occupies a 3,200 square foot facility, with a 1,200 square foot taproom set aside for visitors and the remainder supporting production. A first visit is likely to feel more like a small production brewery with a public-facing bar than a restaurant or entertainment complex. The ownership group includes brothers Mike and Marquis Wofford, Head Brewer Jason Surniak, and a silent partner, and the brewery’s concept emphasizes historical elements of Cincinnati and its surroundings. For visitors mapping out the local beer scene, it is a stop that connects a newer craft taproom format with the city’s long habit of treating beer as part of regional identity.

Travelers in the Cincinnati region often look for two things from brewery visits: a sense of place and enough variety to compare styles over a short stay. Queen City Brewery of Cincinnati’s initial lineup is built around five core beers: a black IPA, a citrus IPA, a scotch ale, a nut brown ale, and an oatmeal cinnamon stout. That range gives hop-focused drinkers, malt-focused drinkers, and darker-beer drinkers several starting points without requiring knowledge of a large rotating board. One or two seasonal offerings are also part of the plan, so repeat visitors may find something outside the core set. The mix fits a traveler who wants to sample several ale traditions in one stop rather than chase a single flagship beer or a long list of experimental releases.

For practical planning, the taproom is the place to confirm the day’s pours, seasonal availability, food truck schedule, and whether any production-area tour is being offered. The brewery does not have an in-house kitchen, but it works with local food trucks on specific days, so visitors who want a meal should check ahead or plan accordingly. The facility is designed to accommodate tours of the production area, which may interest guests who like seeing how a small brewery uses its space. Future ideas have included the possibility of Surniak leading homebrewing classes or sharing brewing equipment with others, but those should be treated as plans to verify rather than standing amenities. A visit here is best approached as a taproom stop centered on house-brewed beer, local historical themes, and a compact production setting.
