Here's where Cincinnati celebrated on National Beer Day

There are roughly 4,144 breweries in the United States. Of those, at least 121 are in Ohio.

And, of Ohio’s number, atleast 25 of those call the southwestern part of the state home.

So, for National Beer Day on Thursday, Cincinnatians weren't without options when figuring out where to celebrate, but according to an Enquirer poll, they did prefer one place in particular: Mt. Carmel Brewing Company.

Of those polled, 52 percent said they were going to Mt. Carmel Brewing. This may be because of its several TVs for optimal Reds viewing and the charm that emanates from the 1924 farmhouse in which it's housed, but we can't say for certain.

MadTree and Rhinegeist, arguably Cincinnati's best-known breweries, tied for second at 11 percent. Cincinnati's bar and restaurant scene took 9 percent of the vote, for good reason.

Going back to the day itself: Why April 7?

Like many food and drink holidays, April 7 may seem like a randomly chosen date to celebrate beer; however, if you’re keen on your history, it’s actually a fitting day to kick back with a nice, cold brew.

That’s because, on April 7, 1933, people were once again allowed to buy, brew and sell beer after the Prohibition barred them from doing so for 13 long, dry years.

We’ll drink to that, be it at Mt. Carmel Brewing, Rhinegeist or one of the many other breweries that have popped up around the area in recent years.

It may not be National Beer Day anymore, but you can always observe it. If you’re ready to celebrate with your favorite local IPA (or pale ale, or stout, or even a cider), find a bar or brewery nearest you on the map.
