edpaffjr.comThe latest Cincinnati Craft Brewer’s festival took place this past weekend at the Listermann Brewing Company. From the event website, “VolksFest is a festival for the people of Cincinnati, brought to you by your favorite local craft breweries.” You may recall the StarkBier Fest I attended earlier this year, well the idea was the same with VolksFest, a celebration of Cincinnati area breweries.
Beer Truck
The breweries involved were Blank Slate, Fifty West, Christian Morelein, Rock Bottom, Rivertown, Mt.Carmel, Mad Tree, Cellar Dweller, Wiedemann, Quaff Bros, Rhinegeist, Triple Digit, and Listermann. The idea behind Volksfest is lower ABV and session beers for the hot summer days in July.
Crowded Afternoon
Fortunately the weather was not all that hot on the day of the event, so a very large crowd was assembled by the time I finally made it over at 4:30. The festival space appeared larger than at StarkBier Fest, so there was plenty of room to spread out. Unfortunately due to a time constraint, I was only able to sample a couple of beers. I guess I’ll have another shot at the soon to be announced craft beer Oktoberfest, assuming it is happening again this year.
