Because we like to be extra, we’re kicking off Bockfest early with our legendary Tapping of the Bocks on Thursday, March 6, where we’ll ceremoniously tap 17 different Bock beers at once in a grand event that somehow manages to be both chaotic and sacred. Brother Tim, Cincinnati’s favorite Franciscan monk, will be on hand to bless the beer, because tradition (and monks) make everything better.The Official Arnold’s Bockfest Rundown:
