Bockfest in the Snow

Despite mother nature, we attended Bockfest on both Friday and Saturday night. On Thursday night a snow storm was confirmed to be on track to hit the city Friday morning. Some of our out of town guests were able to hit the road Thursday night or early Friday to avoid the storm. Unfortunately the parade on Friday night was canceled. On Friday night we got a group together at my brother's house and enjoyed some beer from Party Source, and then we finished the night downtown at Bockfest. The crowd was low, but we weren't the only ones to brave the weather. On Saturday the group met at my place and some people played Mario Kart, while some of us brewed a batch of steam beer. Urban Circulator Doppelbock was premiered and received good reviews, although a few bottles gushed. The beer contest on Saturday was postponed to Sunday. Saturday night we went down to Grammer's, a historic bar in Cincinnati, which recently re-opened. We enjoyed the basement and some expensive glasses of Ayinger Celebrator.
