Midwest Winter Beer Festival

The Midwest Winter Beer Festival returns to the Radisson Cincinnati Riverfront on February 6th and 7th for the second year. For $35 you have the opportunity to try over 75 different beers from some  great micro-breweries. It looks like Bell’s, Great Lakes, Stone, Bluegrass Brewing Company and Kentucky Ale will all be in attendance. There will be 3 sessions this year:

Friday 2/6 from 7 until 11 PM
Saturday 2/7 from 2 until 6 PM
Saturday 2/7 from 7 until 11PM

Tickets are $35 in advance and $40 at the door, a very reasonable price for a tasting event with proceeds going to the Big Joe Duskin Foundation. Also, designated drivers can pay $10 at the door that will get you everything except the beer.

Michelle and I missed out last year, but are excited the event has returned and we have a second chance to attend. Any readers brave last year’s event? Any good stories?

As always, I recommend checking out our post on the Wine Festival Survival Tips. Most of them translate to any event with a lot of alcohol to try and maybe find a few new favorites.
