Arnold's 1861 Porter Re-Release

Christian Moerlein’s

 Arnold’s 1861 Porter Re-release

Christian Moerlein and Arnold’s Bar and Grill are proud to announce the re-release of Arnold’s 1861 Porter on March 22^nd at 6pm. From 6-7, in honor of the occasion Arnold’s will be offering the beer for $1.52 (One penny for every year Arnold’s has been in business),  In 2011, Arnold’s 1861 Porter, brewed in a small test pilot system, was the first beer brewed by Christian Moerlein in Over-The-Rhine in over 90 years. So it is fitting that after being unavailable for nearly two years, it will be the first beer to roll out of their facility now that it is fully operational.

For the release, Warnick Art and Neltner Small Batch, two nationally known and locally based artists were commissioned to create an identity for the 1861 Porter brew. Keith Neltner and Rob Warnick, who have done work for renowned music acts like ModestMouse, Cake, and Death Cab for Cutie, along with brands like South by Southwest Music Festival, Coke-a-cola, and Wrigley’s Gum evolved the idea, along with the infamous writer Jeff Chambers, from a simple beer label tap design into something that celebrated their crafts. The historic event will feature a commemorative shirt design and a limited edition art print that will be available at the release party on March 22. They're also creating a one of kind sculpture/tap handle that will be carved from wood (reclaimed from Kentucky horse farms) and laser etched as an artifact of the release. "Rob and I are huge advocates of beer, history preservation and art so this brings all of those elements together and we're thrilled." explains Neltner.

My Idea Of The Perfect Bockfest Evening V2.0 .....

My Idea Of The Perfect Bockfest Evening...

If you are driving, park in the lot across the street from Arnold‘s. Remember to pay the machine! Show up at Arnold’s around 4pm to have a beer. Or 2. But pace yourself....... They are strong and you have a long night ahead of you. We have 7 Bocks on tap so plenty to choose from. Pick up a Bockfest Shirt and throw it on. You do want to be fashionable. Also eat a Bock sausage so you have something in your stomach. There is another bar added this year and a port a pottie. Watch the parade kick off and either follow it (my suggestion) or jump on a shuttle to Bockfest Hall for the ceremony. Grab a beer at Bockfest Hall. Or 2. But pace yourself, it is still going to be early. Buy a poster from Jim Effler. Take the shuttle and try to stop at every bar along the way. Pace yourself and everywhere that sells food, eat some. When you are ready to go home return to Arnold’s. If it is before 11 you can order off the regular menu or the game menu. If you do need to get a cab then you can leave your car in the lot, take a cab and come back for lunch. We open at 11am on Saturday with The Craft Menagerie. Hope to see you there.
