The collaboration between Christian Moerlein, the Brewing Heritage Trail, Cincinnati Escape Room and Cincinnati Landmark Productions takes guests on a trip back in time, through a darkened brewery and into an abandoned cellar, where they must work to solve puzzles to discover a secret combination to crack a safe.
According to lore, "In 1880, brewer John Kauffman sent his brewmaster on a two-year journey though Europe where he brought back a secret recipe that allowed his brewery to become one of the most successful in Cincinnati. That secret recipe is locked away in a safe, your goal is to survive your trip through the haunted brewery and solve the puzzles to figure out the combination."
A guide will lead you through the Kauffman Brewery and into the current Christian Moerlein Brewery/Malt House Taproom and into the underground cellars, where you will have to work to uncover the crack the safe.
They’ve added lights-on tours this year.
Starting at 7 p.m. Fridays and 6 p.m. Saturdays in October. $25. Christian Moerlein Malt House Taproom, 1621 Moore St., Over-the-Rhine, hauntedbrewerytour.com.
