Craft beer fans will soon be able to get some of Cincinnati's finest without crossing the border.

Rhinegeist Brewery has announced its beers and hard ciders will be available on tap at Indiana bars and restaurants starting July 10. Canned beer will follow this fall.

The brewery might sound familiar to Hoosiers because of its Indianapolis connection: Head brewer Jim Matt formerly brewed for Sun King Brewery.

Plus, a visit to the brewery built in the old 1895 Moerlein bottling plant in Cincinnati's historic Over-the-Rhine Brewery District is a quick road trip away. While there isn't a kitchen at the 25,000-square-foot facility, there is plenty to see and do including tours, cornhole, pingpong and a rooftop deck.

But if you can't make it there, you now can get Truth IPA, Cougar Blonde Ale, Knowledge Imperial IPA and other rotating beers here. Its "Cidergeist" offerings of semi-dry and dry hopped hard ciders also will make their debut.

Rhinegeist's Vice President Bryant Goulding is excited about the expansion to Indiana. "It's a great craft beer market, and we have been getting positive feedback for years at

festivals to bring our beer to the state," he said in a news release.

Family-owned Zink Distributing will distribute the products.
