The 26th annual BockFest celebrating the brewery and German heritage of Cincinnati’s Over-the-Rhine neighborhood includes tapping the year’s Bock beer at Christian Moerlein brewery’s taproom. Franciscan friars bless the beer at 7:30-is (organizers say it could be a little early or a little late, depending on when the BockFest Parade, which officially kicks off the weekend, ends). The taproom doubles as “Bockfest Hall,” the central location for all events throughout the weekend — please note that while the irreverent weekend is for people of all ages, not all events are family-friendly so plan accordingly.
