February 20, 201214 yr http://www.moerleinlagerhouse.com/ I, for one, can't wait to go check the place out. I think it's a great idea and a great way to help bring back the Cincinnati brewery tradition even more than Hardman/Moerlein already have at this point. I know it's gonna be a zoo for Reds games for pretty much the entirety of the season (especially if the Reds off-season acquisitions pay off), but I can't wait to have a beer or two before a game and then walk over to the ball yard. Anybody else looking forward to it?
February 20, 201214 yr Very much so. Those places in the Banks are going to be a mad house before Reds games.
February 20, 201214 yr Author Might be a good place to check out during Bengals summer camp. Ahhh....good point, good point. Downtown cops are gonna LOVE that.
February 21, 201214 yr I'll have to wait until after Easter since I give up brew for Lent. They picked the wrong time to open this place.
February 21, 201214 yr Will one be able to get a Bud Light or Miller Light at this new place or will you have to get one of their own brewed beers?
February 21, 201214 yr Will one be able to get a Bud Light or Miller Light at this new place or will you have to get one of their own brewed beers? I sure hope not, and I doubt it as well.

February 21, 201214 yr The article online got me pretty excited about this. I'm not a huge Moerlein fan, but with 90 taps, I'm sure I'll find something I like. The article says that it cost almost $10 million and can accommodate 1,400 people. There's also some type of outdoor concert area nearby which should be pretty cool. http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20120219/BIZ/302190070&Ref=AR
February 21, 201214 yr I sure hope not, and I doubt it as well. Worked out well for the Oldenburg Brewery at the Drawbridge, didn't it. Personally, I don't see an issue with having people getting what THEY want, not want the establishment wants them to. I'm sure they will have inflated prices and do ok on Reds games until the "novelty" of their newness wears off. If they don't start off offering top selling domestics, I'm sure they will change their business plan at some point and offer them before it's said and done. Time will tell. Will be nice to have a place to take pressure from the HG.

The Oldenburg example is an interesting one, but I think their problem was location for one, and the fact that they were about 15-20 years too early on their business model. Microbrews weren't really a big deal then. I would bet that it would succeed now (assuming it was in a different location more friendly to foot traffic, like MainStrasse).

Exactly what I was thinking as well. They've been around long enough for the newness to have came, left and found it's way back again but it's never really seemed to suffer much of a drop off.
