Winter (in theory) is retreating, the city is ready for spring, and beer lovers all across the area prepare to hoist cup after cup of an old German style that gets its own stage here in town once a year. That’s right… Bockfest is coming. I won’t go too much into the history of the festival (you can read that here) and I won’t talk too much about the style (you can read that here) – this is a post for the beer. Here it is… the most comprehensive list of the Bock beers that you can find in Cincinnati this year.
As always… If I missed anything, or something is incorrect – Please, Please let me know!
