Embark on a private table experience or live experience with your group at our distillery.

Tables can have 2 – 6 participants and one designated driver. Groups can also BRING FOOD to enjoy during the experience.

When you arrive at our distillery, your group will be escorted to a table in the Great Room. It’s an epic space with 30 foot stone fireplace and a wall of windows looking out to the lake.

Was surprised for my birthday!We had a wonderful experience, learned a lot, had fun, and came away with my very own blend. Is it any good? I don’t know, I was drunk by the time I decided on a blend.

Carly W.

Pedro is a fantastic host. He gave us a lot of knowledge and amazing bourbon.

Gretchen

We enjoyed an evening full of great tasting whiskey and wonderful conversation. Peter and Mackenzie are so very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. I learned so much about whiskey in general and their own unique process. Although we didn't take the make your own blend tour, we were able to answer questions online and have the AI blend our perfect whiskey. We decided to stick with the pros, however, and took home a few bottles! Tall Stacks is a three wood smoked bourbon that is complex with a long lasting taste. It's wonderful.Highly recommend the experience if only for the wonderful hospitality.

Excellent quality whiskey and a unique and fun blending experience. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. Big Brain is my favorite distillery!

Calvin Holloway S.

Really a Great experience. Highly recommend! Very knowledgeable staff and cool introduction to finding your pallet for bourbon.

Marissa C.

This is such a unique experience! Get to make your own bottle of bourbon based on what you like! The barn is full of wonderful one of a kind pieces and Knick knacks to explore. This is such a good deal for only $35 to taste 6 nationally ranked bourbons, make your own custom flavor and try and 3 tier whiskey or cocktail flight. $45 to order a custom bottle and it gets made right in front of you. The best part is trying to name your new flavor. This is a great family owned business to support.

Milan D.

Very cool experience. A really fun place with a super kind staff. Definitely check it out!

Joe F.

We had a great experience. Might possibly have found my new favorite brand of bourbon! I love high end expensive bourbons, and this place goes head to head with the big brand names for a much better value. Most importantly, my wife only drinks seltzers, and this experience converted her to really enjoy whiskey. Big win for me, thank you!!!

Steve M.

What a fantastic experience!! Ryan was absolutely outstanding. It was my second time doing this. I had my daughter and her friend (both very novice to the whiskey world) and they LOVED it. Highly recommend!!

Dustin O.

Went for our first time. We’ve done bourbon blending experiences before at other distilleries. This was very laid back, low stress, self-paced. If you’re looking for constant feedback and host interactions, this is not for you. If you have at least the basics down about bourbon, are independent and want to focus on just the experience and those you are with, this is for you. Very efficient and Ryan AND Ryan were very helpful and courteous along the way. Definitely recommend!

Steph H.

Best gift ever!!Nephew's 60th Birthday! 1for him and 3 more to share!Everyone loved it. Planning a visit to Brain Brew to let everyone experiencethe fun and Whiskey made for each person.Thanks!

Jeanne S.

We did the online questionnaire to create a custom blend of whiskey. it tastes fantastic. Exactly as described. We are looking forward to do the experience in person!

Garald A.

Loved the experience, something totally different from the regular distillery tour and a neat way to craft your own!!

Joe P.

Very cool craft bourbon concept - definitely worth checking out. The bourbon blending experience is novel & very fun and the base bourbon they use in the process is absolutely delicious. Just picked up my bottle of Dexter and it is very tasty.

Michael D.

This was a very fun and interesting experience. Very intriguing how they create the flavors and it was really an experience blending your own personal taste. Highly recommended.

Timothy S.

OM GOODNESS!! I had the experience of my life blending my own custom whiskey, and OH, BOY is it good!! The best whiskey in Cincinnati!!

Judy T.

Brain Brew Custom Whiskey . Newton Ohio . Don’t miss this fun experience of testing and mixing your own Bourbon . We took my nephew there for a graduation present . It was a fun and unique experience .

Barbara B.

The testing and blending of the bourbons was so much fun. It was packed with a bit of history too. Very much enjoyed myself and I am not a bourbon drinker. I think whether you drink bourbon or not, this is an exceptional experience to have.

Matt S

Great experience. I have done many Bourbon tastings with master distillers. All were good. But this one, even when using a video guide, was fun. It was interesting to play with flavors and mix them. Can’t wait to drink the custom crafted bottle. Unlike anything I had done previously.

Response from the owner: Matt, thank you for your support and cheers to having your personal bourbon recipe!
