February 28, 201412 yr Author ^ Also.....holy crap there are THIRTEEN different bock beers being made by Greater Cincinnati breweries!!
February 28, 201412 yr I like my bocks like I like my gangers: doppeled. Today's been real dumb. I've got a few tasty beers in the fridge, but this has the makings of a whiskey night.
February 28, 201412 yr Author I like my bocks like I like my gangers: doppeled. Today's been real dumb. I've got a few tasty beers in the fridge, but this has the makings of a whiskey night. I like dobblebock, but I'd prefer a regular old "bock". That reminds me though...I need to go back to the bourbon store to replenish my supplies. I was down to the last drink in 4 different bottles as of a week ago. Killed two of them last night - Blanton's and then Wathen's.

I'm planning on heading up to Cincinnati for the occasion, like I do each year. I'm not sure how many breweries will have offerings available at the participating venues, but I'll make it my mission to try as many of them as possible. Arnold's Bar in downtown Cincy posted this to Twitter the other day...it's got me hankering.
February 14, 20179 yr I'm not sure I'll be going but Rhinegeist is having a 25 tap takeover at Dickman's on Wednesday. It looked like they had some unique offerings and a obviously several staples. I went to a takeover they did there a year or so ago and they did a pretty cheap 4-6 ounce pour if you want to try a bunch. I recommend sliding it to easily try some of their beers.

Kind of shocked a bar has an entire "Bockfest".
February 22, 20179 yr @formerkywrestler I'm with you, I've had Shiner but couldn't recall drinking another brand of Bock. I pulled up beeradvocate and out of the first 500 I viewed, only one have I tasted. Sam Adams Winter Lager .

I pulled up beeradvocate and out of the first 500 I viewed, only one have I tasted. Sam Adams Winter Lager . Bocks are easily my favorite session-type beer. They're like a German dunkel, only a bit more malty. Bocks are like a ying to an English Pale's yang. Also, for what it's worth, Arnold's is not the only place particpating in Bockfest...it's more of a "flagship" location. There are actually 20 participating venues, and a free shuttle that operates from 7:00pm-1:00am between all the venues. Bockfest 2017 - Participating Venues Arnold’s Bar and Grill - 210 East 8th Street Brezel 6 West - 14th Street Christian Moerlein Malthouse Tap Room - 1621 Moore Street The Drinkery - 1150 Main Street Dunlap Cafe - 1926 Dunlap Street Goodfellas Pizzeria - 1211 Main Street Halfcut - 1128 Walnut Street Lachey's - 56 East 12th Street The Lackman - 1237 Vine Street Low Spark - 15 West 14th Street Milton’s Prospect Hill Tavern - 301 Milton Street Mr. Pitiful’s - 1323 Main Street Queen City Exchange - 32 West Court Street Queen City Radio - 222 West 12th Street Rhinehaus 119 - East 12th Street The Rook OTR - 1115 Vine Street Taft's Ale House - 1429 Race Street Taqueria Mercado - 800 Walnut Street Taste of Belgium - 1135 Vine Street Washington Platform - 1000 Elm Street
February 25, 20179 yr All the Bock talk led me to a bottle of Celebrator Double Bock. I actually preferred it more once it warmed up. I couldn't pass on the free goat.
March 4, 20179 yr Tonight officially kicked off Bockfest 2017 in Cincinnati. It's a Lentin tradition started by monks to keep their calorie count up while fasting. Bock beer is high calorie and delicious. In Cincinnati this will be the 25th year of Bockfest. It gets bigger and funnier every year. Are their any other Bock lovers out there?
March 4, 20179 yr Love me some Shiner Bock. I remember going to Austin back around 2000-02 for South By Southwest and discovering the stuff. You could get it for $1.25 a can or about 2 bucks for a draft pint. Must be some expensive shipping costs to get it to Ky these days.
