Rhinegeist and Kroger Launch Super Lager, a Gold Award-Winning Cincinnati Lager Built for a Wider Shelf
Two Cincinnati-headquartered companies are bringing an already-proven lager recipe to Kroger stores across the Midwest, Mid-Atlantic, and Southeast this August.
Rhinegeist Brewery and The Kroger Co. are releasing Super Lager this August, an affordable American lager available in 16 oz. single-serve cans and 12 oz. 12-packs across Kroger stores in the Midwest, Mid-Atlantic, and Southeast. The beer isn't new — it's Cheetah, Rhinegeist's World Beer Cup Gold Award-winning lager produced since 2018, now rebranded for a broader retail footprint. The collaboration brings together two companies that both trace their roots to Cincinnati, with a shared premise: a well-crafted, everyday-affordable lager shouldn't be hard to find. Same recipe. Wider reach. For full availability, visit rhinegeist.com.
Rhinegeist is a craft brewery in Cincinnati's Over-the-Rhine. We opened in 2013 inside a 125,000-square-foot building that spent the pre-Prohibition era as the packaging hall for Christian Moerlein, one of the city's biggest old-world breweries. The name means "Spirit of the Rhine." Rhine for the neighborhood, Geist as a ghostly nod to the German brewers who came before us.We make beer, cider, and a growing list of other drinks. Truth, our flagship IPA, is the best-selling IPA in Ohio. Around it runs a rotating slate of seasonals, barrel-aged and experimental beers, hard ciders under the Cidergeist name, and a non-alcoholic line called Ghost. We've released more than 200 different beers since opening and now rank as one of the 20 largest craft breweries in the country.Cincinnati is home, and it shows. Our taproom pulls thousands on a good weekend for the beer, the rooftop views over the skyline, the cornhole, and a calendar that runs from drag brunch to line dancing to live wrestling. We give back through programs like Charitable Suds, which sends donations to local nonprofits every week, and Valor, a veterans beer brewed each year by the veterans on our staff.
