Christian Moerlein Bockfest Kickoff

Celebrating the 75th anniversary of the repeal of prohibition and kicking
off the bock beer season, Moerlein Emancipator Doppelbock was greeted with

paintings that become the annual Bockfest Poster. Mr. Effler will be at
Kaldi’s to sign posters and also have the original oil painting of the

Bockfest is a celebration of bock beer, the Renaissance, Cincinnati brewing
history, Over-the-Rhine and the coming of Spring.  Over-the-Rhine is known
for its significant architecture and its bohemian arts scene as well as the
birthplace of German-American culture in Cincinnati.  Bockfest has been an
occasion to showcase parts of this proud tradition.  The Bockfest parade
trophy created by River City works is one example.  Mr. Effler’s artwork is
another.  Events and entertainment will occur throughout Bock Fest weekend,
March 7-9, 2008.  More information about Bockfest, the Parade, the Blow,
