    Moerlein invented Bockfest and it is now a Cincinnati tradition that no other cities have. What a wonderful tradition. Having all the other breweries beers available is a gift to be enjoyed with CM's food and beers. Well done !!
    Moerlein Lager HouseResponded 1 day ago
    Bockfest is one of our favorite times of the year! It brings a great crowd and it gives us a chance to work with other great local breweries. We're so excited to hear you enjoyed your Bockfest experience with us and can't wait to see you again next year!

    Everyone was awesome - from the host who made sure our large party was seated all together to our waitress who handled the large party amazingly. The DJ was awesome and super nice to our group. And the kids had fun dancing around and singing.
