The 34th annual Servatii Bockfest is THIS WEEKEND! And the event is bigger and better than ever.

Did you know that Bock Beer was traditionally brewed for special occasions, and that German monks drank it while fasting for Lenten, due to its higher nutritional content? While this event celebrates Cincinnati’s rich brewing history (and German heritage), families looking to attend this community gathering will find plenty of kid-friendly fun.
