Weird brews aren’t only found in witches’ cauldrons; they’re also found in brewery taprooms.
Rhinegeist is hosting Rare Beer Fest, which will showcase the most “extraordinary, unobtainable and unexpected” beers from across the country — like The Lost Abbey of San Diego, Indiana’s Upland Brewing Co., Chicago’s Half Acre Beer Co. and Other Half Brewing Co. of Brooklyn, N.Y.
General admission includes 10 five-ounce samples and a tasting notebook. Bump up to VIP and you can snag a commemorative glass, four additional tastings with food pairings and exclusive info.
Session one noon-4 p.m.; session two 6-10 p.m. Saturday (Oct. 20). $40; $65 VIP. Rhinegeist Brewery, 1910 Elm St., Over-the-Rhine, rhinegeist.com. Get tickets here (if they aren't sold out).
