By highlighting the two Cincinnati icons’ long-term commitments to the Queen City, this partnership adds additional local flavor (literally and figuratively) to Bengals games in the years to come.

"The journey of our brewery is about Cincinnati, because it's this community that has supported us every step of the way. Having the chance to be An Official Hometown Beer Partner of the Bengals is a privilege that couldn't have been possible without the hustle of our employees and the loyalty of our fans. Showcasing some of our favorite products to Who Dey Nation through this partnership is something we could never have dreamed of 13 years ago when we opened our doors."
— Dana Cummin, Self Distribution Sales & Sponsorship Director, Rhinegeist Brewery

To further celebrate this Cincy-brewed partnership, Bengals and Rhinegeist fans will have plenty of reasons to attend Bengals watch parties in the Rhinegeist taproom located at 1910 Elm Street. While home and away games are aired on Rhinegeist's 14-foot big screen tv fans will enjoy food and drink specials, ticket giveaways, and Bengals-themed activations. Pre-game festivities will take place at various locations at The Banks throughout the Bengals season featuring Bengals co-branded Rhinegeist offerings.

"Rhinegeist has always believed in the power of beer to bring people together. We’re fiercely proud of our Cincinnati roots and thrilled to partner with the equally passionate Cincinnati Bengals. We’re grateful for every opportunity to be part of fans’ Game Dey routines—whether you’re tailgating at The Banks, watching at our historic OTR taproom or enjoying your favorite hometown beer with friends and family. Cheers to Cincy and the fans who make this city special."

About Rhinegeist

Rhinegeist is a craft brewery in Cincinnati's Over-the-Rhine. We opened in 2013 inside a 125,000-square-foot building that spent the pre-Prohibition era as the packaging hall for Christian Moerlein, one of the city's biggest old-world breweries. The name means "Spirit of the Rhine." Rhine for the neighborhood, Geist as a ghostly nod to the German brewers who came before us.We make beer, cider, and a growing list of other drinks. Truth, our flagship IPA, is the best-selling IPA in Ohio. Around it runs a rotating slate of seasonals, barrel-aged and experimental beers, hard ciders under the Cidergeist name, and a non-alcoholic line called Ghost. We've released more than 200 different beers since opening and now rank as one of the 20 largest craft breweries in the country.Cincinnati is home, and it shows. Our taproom pulls thousands on a good weekend for the beer, the rooftop views over the skyline, the cornhole, and a calendar that runs from drag brunch to line dancing to live wrestling. We give back through programs like Charitable Suds, which sends donations to local nonprofits every week, and Valor, a veterans beer brewed each year by the veterans on our staff.
