Bockfest returns in February! Celebrate at Mecklenburg Gardens

Bockfest

Come to Mecklenburg Gardens Restaurant on February 7th in the BierHall, where Mecklenburg’s will be sponsoring one of the Bockfest Sausage Queen Preliminary Round Competitions.

The festivities will start with a keg tapping of some Bock beer and the Sausage Queen competition will follow!

The event winner will go on to represent Mecklenburg Gardens Restaurant at Bockfest on the 29th of February at Bockfest Hall.

Last year’s Sausage Queen winner at Mecklenburg Gardens, Jaclyn Cox, went on to win the finals at Bockfest Hall. Jacklyn has been a super Sausage Queen, and has attended almost all of the German festivals and events.

Mecklenburg Gardens Restaurant will also switch over 6 out of 20 of their tap handles to tasty Bock!

Bock beer is a bottom fermenting lager beer that ferments a little longer throughout the winter. Bock beer is typically stronger, with a more robust malty flavor. It is said that the religious munks drank mostly Bock beer while fasting during Lent.

Celebrate the Coming of Spring, Over-the-Rhine’s brewing heritage, and Bock beer at the largest Bockfest in the United States. Bockfest takes place February 28 – March 1, 2020.
