Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

- WonkamanNorwich, CT144 contributionsMy wife and I visited here during a long weekend in Cincinnati. This is a fantastic place. It is very nice and very unique on the inside and the bourbon was amazing. What really stood out to me were how wonderful the staff were. They were super welcoming and super friendly. The food was great as well. I highly recommend this place. I wish we had a place like this where I live.Written 8 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- NBentley2014Covington, KY593 contributionsIf you have a bourbon fan at home, Brain Brew Custom Whiskey’s Custom Distillery Experience should be on your radar. Brain Brew, located in a fabulous airy building on a lake in a quiet corner of Newtown, offers in person and virtual experiences that cover the golden age of whiskey, the craft age of whiskey and a master bourbon blending session. Our experience took place in person and our knowledgeable guide, a certified bourbon professional, told us the history of bourbon in the region. Who knew Cincinnati was home to 600,000 when Chicago only had 6000 residents and Louisville 600? Not I. We got a quick lesson in how to taste bourbon before sipping at three great oak bourbons from the golden age - 200 year old oak, European oak and American oak. Our tray came with small ladles so we could add water if we wished and taste the difference it made as it pushed the natural oils in the bourbon to the top of the shot glass. We took notes rating the taste, aftertaste and anything else that struck us about each bourbon. Next, we entered the craft age and those sips included cherry wood, maple wood and smoked oak bourbons. After that, we learned how to blend the different bourbons to come up with our own custom recipe. Brain Brew bottles these to take home, if you wish. While you wait for your custom bottle, you can enjoy a small flight of Brain Brew’s three award winning bourbons, Dexter, Paddle Wheel and Deckhand, or three tasters of 1800s inspired craft cocktails, the Dickens Sour, Whiskey Daisy and Kon-Tiki. Brain Brew encourages participants to bring food and the event runs about three hours. Despite all the bourbon, food and time worked their magic and I can attest that I was nowhere near inebriated. Prices are super reasonable, too, with the experience priced at $35 and your own custom bottle at $45.
