Just days before Ohio will ban them, two of Cincinnati’s biggest names want you to try THC seltzers.
Rhinegeist Brewery is partnering with the Contemporary Arts Center for “The (High) Art of Seltzers,” a guided tasting and museum tour about the craft, science and cultural conversation surrounding THC seltzers. The event takes place at the CAC on March 12 at 5:30 p.m.
Led by Nick Brehm, director of Innovation and Raw Materials and Tracey Ireland, vice president of Marketing at Rhinegeist, the evening will feature Fuzzy Bones, an alcohol-free sparkling beverage crafted with hemp-derived Delta-9 THC and real fruit juice.
Rhinegeist’s team will guide participants through the formulation, production and evolving landscape of hemp-derived beverages, offering insight into how hemp-derived Delta-9 THC is legally defined, nanoemulsion technology and its role in onset timing, what “quick onset” means in practice, understanding 5mg dosing and pacing consumption, and the influence of minor cannabinoids such as CBG and CBN.
Guests will sample three flavors–Blood Orange Tangerine, Lemon Blueberry, and Blackberry Hibiscus–and receive one 12 oz. 5mg can to take home.
“CAC’s ‘The Art of…’ series is about exploring creativity in all its forms, and we’re excited to partner with Rhinegeist to examine the craft, science, and sensory experience behind this evolving field,” said Carolyn Hefner, Chief of External Affairs at CAC. “Programs like this invite people into the museum in new ways—connecting contemporary art with everyday experiences and encouraging curiosity, conversation, and discovery.”
Following the tasting, participants will join CAC Adjunct Curator, Maria Seda-Reeder, for a guided exploration of the galleries. Slowing down with a work of art invites a different kind of awareness. This portion of the evening encourages guests to consider how perception shifts when we tune into our senses more intentionally.
The event is only available to guests 21+, and a valid ID is required. Tickets are $30, although members of the museum get a discount. For more information, click here.
