We have our Booth Assignment for the Taste of Cincinnati, happening May 22-25th. We will be serving up some tasty Rhinegeist beverages at booth #613...right in front the P&G building towards Broadway. When you get thirsty, please come see us for your beer, water and soda needs. All tips go to support the Brewing Heritage Trail, the organization that produces Bockfest each year.

We still need volunteers to pour beer! We generally aren't still asking this late in the month, but we really need some more help. Our biggest needs are Saturday and Sunday evenings from 8-11:30.

Each Sunday of the Servatii Bockfest, Cincinnati Lager House hosts Continental Sunday. (aka German Day) The local German community shows up in full trachten, and celebrates all things that our German culture brings to Cincinnati.

Lectures were offered this year on the Germania Building and Weilerts Hall (by the great great grand daugher of Weilert himself!)

Jim Effler had his gallery of all of his 31 Bockfest posters, German music, German dancing and of course food!

Greg Gottenbusch from Servatii tapped the ceremonial keg.

Great weather and Gemütlichkeit were shared by all!!

If you missed the most adorable contest on Sunday at the Cincinnati Lager House, we have you covered. I think the unanimous answer to the question, "Why do you want to be the Servatii Pretzel Prince or Princess", was "I love pretzels!" Well they were all correct! Congratulations to everyone who participated..you all looked fantastic!
