Which is really saying something since during the Cranley admin we basically regressed.

Excited for you guys though. Hopefully a turning point.

Next up- OTRberfest. A new event so comments on it are certainly welcome.

Agreed. Beer was ok though. Not amazing but ok.

First in the chute- Germania Oktoberfest

Details

• This is always the first Oktoberfest in Cincinnati. It’s a bit out there (for city dwellers) but worth the drive.
• Tents are perched up on a hill and some picnic tables are nicely laid back into the woods
• Usually rides and such for the kids I believe, face painting available
• Playground situated right below bier hall
• $5 admission, kids 12 and under free, military with ID free. No dogs permitted.

Recommendations

• Recommend to park offsite and take a shuttle as there is limited parking on-site.

Hours

• Friday August 23rd 6-11pm
• Saturday August 24th 2-11pm
• Sunday August 25th 12-7pm

Location

• 3529 W. Kemper Rd. Cincinnati, OH 45251

Braxton OKI Bourbon Barrel Ale

• To celerate, starting at 4 pm, we’ll be tapping two limited O.K.I. Bourbon Barrel Ale variants—Maple and Vanilla! But that’s not all—for the first time, we’re releasing O.K.I. Vodka and even better, and we’ll have the very limited 15-Year old O.K.I. Bourbon to taste and purchase.

Rhinegeist Chain Mail Pale Ale

• Malts: Pilsner, White Wheat
• Hops: Centennial, El Dorado Incognito, Mosaic Incognito, Mosaic Spectrum, Cascade

I might be old but I just don’t get it. Carrying an ID is not hard and works regardless of whether your phone has enough battery or you even have it on you.

I don’t understand why they are moving their office right to Government Square but then thinking of moving all the bus stops to the Transit Center.

Oktoberfest is (nearly) here so a ton of them-

• Madtree Ziegler
• Rhinegeist Franz
• Esoteric Festbier (this is fantastic IMO)
• Sam Adams Oktoberfest (a classic)

There might be more in distro now but this is what I recall seeing the last time I bought beer.

Regional

• Sierra Nevada Festbier collab with Gutmann Brauerei in Bavaria

Local firm GBBN designed the bar and lounge, which features a 9-foot-by-36-foot video wall to watch sports, with other large TVs around the space to provide a view from every angle.

More noise by local moron Brinkman but would be awful if it actually passed.

If you read the full text of the amendment you’ll see it has a lot of safeguards designed to ensure fair districts.

This is unequivocally an improvement over the current process where legislators get to pick their voters and disenfranchise people.

Note- you have to click the document itself to get the full PDF of it which is 31 pages long.

I kind of want to try that Camp burger. It sounds delicious in the worst way.

Wiedemann Kölsch-style ale

• Kommen taste our crisp, refreshing Kolsch! It’s a bright effervescent brew made in the German “Reinheitsgebot” tradition, meaning it’s one very good world-class bier! It’s our tribute to the Handlmaier Mustard Club Cincinnati, a social club celebrating German culture and all the great food and beer it’s given us!🍻

Rhinegeist celebrating 1 year of Cincy Light

West Sixth Brewing will open West Sixth Covington Haus in the former Flying Axes space at 100 W. Sixth St. in the unit below Second Story, a cocktail bar.

West Sixth currently has a small operation in Newport on the Levee at the Bridgeview Box Park, an open-air shipping container park on the banks of the Ohio River. The brewery opened there two years ago, but the company has been eyeing a permanent Northern Kentucky expansion for nearly a decade.

It’s a job watching this team. Fun at times and then we blow it in the bullpen, etc.

Good luck to you guys the rest of the way.

You’re gonna like that result yesterday then too. :)
