Graeter's Ice Cream (0.94) and Skyline Chili (0.93) form a distinct Cincinnati-institution cluster at the top of Rhinegeist's neighbor set — two restaurants pulling well ahead of everything else, which is the structural signature of a two-peak shape.
The top 10 neighbors span a wider range of subcategories than those two leaders suggest. Cincinnati Zoo (0.88) is a non-profit; HOMAGE (0.83) is fashion; Fifth Third Bank (0.80) is finance. Fellow breweries do appear — Great Lakes Brewing Co. (0.81) and Bell's Brewery (0.80) — but they sit below the restaurant pair and below the non-profit and fashion neighbors. That ordering matters: Rhinegeist's audience shape is defined first by Cincinnati civic identity, and only secondarily by craft beer affinity. Jeff Goodman (0.78), a sports journalist, and Skyline Chili (0.77, a separate listing under Casual Dining) round out the top 10, adding a college-sports-media thread that runs through the broader neighbor set. Buffalo Trace (0.76) is the lone Alcohol subcategory entry in the top 10, connecting the audience to Kentucky spirits alongside the brewery neighbors.
The two-peak structure — Cincinnati institutions at one peak, Midwest craft breweries at the other — suggests an audience that organizes around regional loyalty as much as around any single product category.
