A Cincinnati brewery is submerged under water and closed until further notice amid record Ohio River flooding spurred by days of heavy rain and severe thunderstorms.
13 Below Brewery, a craft brewery located in Sayler Park along the Ohio River, stated on its website that it’s “closed due to high water until further notice” as of Tuesday.
An aerial video of the brewery, taken by Matthew Maloney on Monday, showed 13 Below and the neighboring Mariner’s Landing Marina submerged in the flood waters.
The Ohio River was set to crest at just above 60 feet Monday, the highest level it’s been since 2018. The river’s increasing water levels submerged much of Cincinnati’s riverfront, leading to flooded parking garages, parks and walkways, as well as road closures along U.S. Route 52 and several Northern Kentucky routes.
The river remains under a flood warning through Friday morning, when it’s expected to fall below flood stage, according to the National Weather Service. River levels were recorded at 57.9 feet as of 10 a.m. Tuesday.
13 Below Brewery, opened by husband-wife duo Anne and Doug Menkedick in 2017, is documenting flooding updates on its Facebook page. The business started making flood preparations on Saturday before announcing it would be closed Sunday and Monday and “more likely than not” through this week.
The brewery is located at 7391 Forbes Road, by Fernbank Park.
