If you've ever wanted to learn about the macabre history of brewing in Cincinnati, you're in luck.

Beginning Sept. 9 and running through Nov. 5, Cincinnati's Brewing Heritage Trail will host the Darkside of Brewing Tour – Tales of Cincinnati's Haunted and Gruesome Past. This limited-edition and seasonal guided tour will tell the gruesome and dark tales of Cincinnati's past, including grave robbing, a serial killing saloonist and other "murderous and deadly mayhem," according to a release.

The 1.5-hour haunted tour also includes a visit to an abandoned city street and a flashlight tour of an abandoned Cincinnati brewery's underground cellar complex. Led by a Brewing Heritage Trail guide, the outdoor guided tour stretches less than a mile, beginning and ending at the Brewing Heritage Trail Tour Center at 1939 Race St. in Over-the-Rhine.
