Mar 19, 2008 2 Replies

Moerlein First Tapping Party’s are the best, so plan on bringing a friend and being a part of Cincinnati beer history in the making tomorrow (Thursday) after work as we launch our new Moerlein Barbarossa and to pay tribute to a living legend of the Cincinnati Beer Business Mr. Robert L. Pohl former President/CEO of Hudepohl Brewing Co.


Come help recognize Mr. Robert L. Pohl President and CEO Emeritus Hudepohl Brewing Company Cincinnati, Ohio for his visionary accomplishments in Brewing Christian Moerlein as the First American Beer to Pass the "Reinheitsgebot" German Purity Law and having one of the first craft beers sold in the Eastern Half of the United States.


CEREMONIAL FIRST TAPPING PARTY OF MOERLEIN BARBAROSSA will happen Thursday March 20th, 2008, from 5:00 – 9:00PM, at Arnold’s Bar and Grill, the oldest bar in Cincinnati, located at 210 E. 8th St. downtown. First Tapping ceremony will happen at 5:30PM sharp.


Our last keg tapping had over 300 of our closest friends attend and had a fun atmosphere for all… Limited edition posters of the Moerlein Barbarossa image will be given to attendees. Local artist Jim Effler, who was commissioned by Christian Moerlein Brewing Company to paint the artwork, will be on hand to sign the commemorative prints. Other prizes and giveaways during the event. COME JOIN THE FUN…


Have you ever been to a Moerlein Ceremonial Keg Tapping Party? If you have, then you know exactly what we mean…words like GREAT BEER, AWESOME PEOPLE, FUN PARTY, BEST HAPPY HOUR and YOU’RE INVITED BRING A FRIEND COME TO MIND. Come join Christian Moerlein Brewing Company’s launch of its latest year-round beer, Moerlein Barbarossa Double Dark Lager. Make a date and bring a friend.


The Over-The-Rhine Foundation will receive a portion of the proceeds from every Moerlein Barbarossa sold at the event. The OTR Foundation is the organization who coordinated Bockfest last weekend and need our assistance to recoup a source of their fundraising…so raise a beer to them… Also, since the Bockfest Parade could not go off because of the weather, a special raffle of the Bockfest Grand Prize Parade Trophy with 100% of the proceeds benefitting the OTR Foundation will be conducted. This is one of a kind piece of art and will benefit the OTR Foundation… PLUS YOU CAN DRINK FROM IT!!!


I was there, and the new Moerlein Barbarossa is an excellent dunkel! Quite nice indeed!

Great to hear the American Barbarossa is brewed again As the Barbarossa Brewery was the latest bigger brewery in my hometown Groningen the Netherlands I collect all kinds of collectibles from all the five known Barbarossa breweries all over the world (one american, on dutch and three german) More about the durch Barbarossa at my homepage:

(only in dutch, but with lots of pictures)

Besides this it would be great to get a bottle of Barbarossa to Groningen I never tasted it before and it has to be in my beercollection of almost 6500 different beerlabels, ONLY from beers I tasted myself. In my collection 106 tasted American beers In english:
