Located in the heart of the Walnut Hills neighborhood of Cincinnati, Esoteric's vision is to craft community: brewing beer with pure ingredients that are sourced locally and grown organically, serving as a community hub and event space, and curating a team of passionate individuals with such integrity that we have a profound social impact.

What a great place! We were there today and were greeted and interacted with two great ambassadors of the brewery. I wish I had asked their names because they both were awesome.Had a couple of samples but loved the coffee cream ale the best. My wife had the basil infused beer, which also was very good. This is the friendliest, most customer focused brewery I have ever been to. If you don't try it, you are truly missing out!
Great brewery at Peebles corner (Gilbert & McMillan) in the old Paramount building. Street parking. Waiting for the return of Karma . Enjoying 2 flights of their beers . Odyssey IPA and the Kallima coffee for the light beers. The Peebles Coffee and the Black Bouquet for the darks I liked. Why trust my palate....come in and decide for yourself.
I'm not a big beer drinker, but I love locally owned community spots. My son and his fiancé ARE craft brew fans who recently moved to Cincinnati. I couldn't wait to take them to Esoteric, where my husband had his fav /Dahlia/ and my son ordered two flights in order to try 10 different beers. They were thrilled and even I enjoyed several....
This is the classiest brewery I've been to yet very laid back and welcoming. You walk in and you are greeted by the workers. I told them it's our first time. You can sit anywhere and they will wait on you. Instantly I love the concept. We decided to sit at the bar. The brewery is very spacious! Love the decor, lighting, lounge chairs, and the mood...
Love it! Popped in for a quick drink before heading to the jazz caffe down the block. Really inviting vibe, as many others say. Had a great band playing: great groove, and a fantastic singer. The kind of thing that is a great surprise about nightlife in Cincinnati (and I usually hate singers). Only drawback to the band: no horns! (But I'm a horn player so I'm biased). Lots of space...
