From Queen City Drinks:
After being sealed 18 years ago an entrance to the Hudepohl lagering tunnels has been reopened by the hard working Over-The-Rhine Brewery District team!
The tunnels were originally used by the old Hudepohl brewery to lager their beers at the cool 58.6 degrees fahrenheit provided by 30 to 40 feet of earth. Hudepohl survived the market consolidation in the 60s better than most, in fact they ate up some brands like Bruger. Seemingly boosted by the initial success of Moerlein Select lager in 81 the rest of the decade didn’t fare so well and they combined with Schoenling in 1986. With the combination of brewing facilities – and eventual sale of those facilities to Boston Beer Company – these tunnels fell into disuse and were sealed up around 1997.
