Drink and Get Inked at Rhinegeist’s Annual Beer and Tattoo Celebration

INKED, Rhinegeist’s annual celebration consisting of plenty of beer and tattoos, returns to its Over-the-Rhine taproom next week.

Happening on Saturday, Nov. 18 from noon to 9 p.m., INKED features unique variants of Rhinegeist’s imperial stout, Ink, on draft, along with some of Cincinnati’s premier tattoo artists doing live tattoos of pre-selected flash art in the taproom all day.

“As fall arrives, we are excited for the upcoming annual celebration of Beer and Tattoos here on Elm Street,” Karen Bear, AGM at the Rhinegeist taproom, said in a press release. “We are excited to welcome back some existing shops to the taproom, as well as some new artists, bringing us up to seven shops for this fourth iteration of INKED!”

Participating tattoo shops include:

• White Whale
• Black Fern
• Lonesome Town
• Decorated Body
• Got Ink?
• Mothers
• Peregrine

Each parlor will have its own booth and a flash sheet of tattoos available to purchase that day. Tattoos will be on a first-come-first-serve basis, so patrons are encouraged to arrive early to secure a spot with their preferred artist.

INKED will also have a pop-up bottle shop featuring vintage brews from the Rhinegeist Barrel Aged portfolio, and The Empanadas Box will be on-site selling food. Rhinegeist will also be selling 16-oz. cans of Ink and Cherry Cordial Ink, a limited-edition Ink variant canned especially for this event. Both beverages’ designs showcase hand-drawn flash art by the Rhinegeist team. There will also be limited-edition collectible Ink merch, like the new 2023 T-shirt design and koozie, for sale.
