Last weekend was Bockfest ! This is a description of the Festival as per the Bockfest website, http://www.bockfest.com/"Cincinnati is the home to the world's oldest Bock festival, but many Cincinnatians are unaware of this tradition. If you are one of the unfortunate who have never attended a Bockfest (or who have but can't really remember that weekend) here's a quick primer. In the 1800s, Cincinnati was one of America's most prolific brewing cities. Cincinnatians drank more beer per capita than any city in the country, and Over-the-Rhine was at one point home to more than 18 breweries. A tradition developed among the breweries to release all of their bock beer on the same day. Bock beer is a rich, complex, robust lager that marks the end of the Winter brewing season and the beginning of Spring."
Dan Listermann and I built and rode the "Bloatmobile" (dressed as monks) in the Bockfest parade. The wheels are made from old whiskey barrels.
