Cincinnati, also known as the Queen city, is a city rich in his-
tory and culture with exceptional visual and creative arts, professional sports teams and top notch muse-ums. Whether you are a resident or a visitor there is always something to learn, see and do in cincinnati and our neighboring cities of covington and newport. For those reasons and many more, it’s no surprise that in 2012 Lonely planet travel guide named cincinnati number three of the top ten travel destinations in the united States.
Cincinnati offers all the benefits of larger cities like chicago and new york while maintaining the small hometown hospitality. in this section we like to bring interesting facts and opinions. this is what we have for you in this month’s issue:
The influence of the German set-tlers is seen and celebrated in
“Zinzinnati” from her architecture and breweries to the oktoberfest celebrations that take place all over the greater cincinnati and northern kentucky area. the neigh-bor cities of cincinnati, covington and newport all have oktoberfest celebrations as well as several com-munities including the cincinnati Donauschwaben Society and the germania Society of cincinnati.
The Queen City
“The city is indeed, justly styled the Queen of the West: distinguished for order, enterprise, public spirit, and liberality, she stands the wonder of an admiring world.”

Cover Story
Cincinnati’s german rich heritage has not only sparked the largest
oktoberfest celebration in the united States but one of the largest in the world. Since its inception in 1976 the festival brings more than half a mil-lion patrons to the heart of our city from across the country and around the world specifically for Oktoberfest Zinzinnati.
there are a couple of distinctions our fair city carries that no other can claim. one is a record set in 1998 for the World’s Largest kazoo Band set to “When the Saints go marching in”. the second is the world’s largest chicken Dance set in the guinness Book of records in the 1995-97 edi-tions. the crown prince of Bavaria himself attended and helped set the record as 48,000 participated. there’s an impressive list of celebrities that have led the chicken Dance which includes olympians mary Wineberg and David payne, ultimate Fighting

champion rich Franklin and Baseball hall of Famer Joe morgan to name a few.
on august 19th it was announced that george takei will be this year’s grand marshal. regarding his up-coming appearance at oktoberfest Zinzinnati, george takei, added, “on September 20-21-22 i am beaming into cincinnati to narrate “the Final Frontier” with the cincinnati pops orchestra and my landing party away team has asked me to be part of oktoberfest while i am exploring this sector of the galaxy. Join me Sep-tember 21 at Fountain Square to do the chicken dance. i am boldly going where i have never gone before… oh my!”
activities including the chicken Dance are held at the epicenter of our city, Fountain Square where the tyler Davidson Fountain (the genius of Water) can be found. this beloved landmark was cast in munich, ger-

many which is home to the original oktoberfest. the fountain is admired by visitors but cherished by residents with its inscription which reads, “to the people of cincinnati.”
the people of cincinnati and all the festival goers are one of the reasons the event will now have an earlier open. “Last year, we had a record crowd for oktoberfest Zinzinnati and we expect an even bigger crowd with the Bengals hosting the green Bay packers on the same weekend,” said patrick Sheeran, Vice president of the cincinnati uSa regional cham-ber. “as america’s oktoberfest—a world-class event, we want to roll out the beer barrels and the alpin horns early to greet our locals and visitors.”
the record numbers of past partici-pants were responsible for consuming mass amounts of german food in-cluding metts, brats, sauerkraut balls, strudel and even Limburger cheese.

Oktoberfest Every Day
On october 17, 1810 in munich
germany, Bavarian king
maximilian i Joseph spared no
expense on the wedding cel-
ebration of his son Ludwig to his
bride theresa. the massive party
of 40,000 guests was quite the
success and the king agreed that
the celebration would repeat ev-
ery year. the royal hofbräuhaus
was permitted to provide food
and drink as one of the eating
houses and taverns.
two years later, wanting to offer
his majesty special beverage the
royal brewers created a darker,
stronger beer specifically for the
festival and the end result was
the world-famous “oktoberfest-
bier” from hofbräu münchen.
the brewers and tavern own-
ers thought the beer should be
shared with the citizens Ludwig
agreed and granted a license for
the beer and food to be served
publically in the hofbräuhaus.
the hofbräuhaus in newport ken-
tucky uses the original recipes
handed down by the Duke of Ba-
varia over 400 years ago. howev-
er, the oktoberfest and maibock
are imported from germany.
according to John Ellison, “the
unofficial guidelines for a true
oktoberfest dictate that the beer
must be brewed in Bavaria.”
Beer master conrad Freihofer
elaborates, “For that reason
we import the oktoberfest and
maibock beers from germany
to share here at the newport
hofbräuhaus.” year round beer
tapping celebrations happen
the last Wednesday of every
month at 7:00pm.
For 400 plus years the world
famous public house has also
served traditional Bavarian
dishes and the newport hof-
bräuhaus does as well, along
with american favorites. ap-
petizers include the hofbräu-
haus pretzels and Bier cheese,

Balls. if you would like some-
thing more than the delicious
soups, salads and sandwiches,
try one of the hofbräuhaus
signature Bavarian dishes like
Schnitzel, käsespätzle, Dunkel
Bourbon chicken to name a
few. or try the Schmankerl-
platte (Bavarian Sampler plate)
which includes schweins-
braten, smoked pork chops
and three kinds of wursts aside
sauerkraut, fried cabbage and
mashed potatoes.
Like the original the hofbräu-
haus in newport offers a fun
place rich in german traditions
both in the dining hall and the
outdoor bier garten. Dance
and sing along to the live
oompah-pah band, enjoy
monthly keg tapping
celebrations and of course
enjoy great Bavarian bier and
food. So visit the Hofbräuhaus
in Newport where you can
celebrate Oktoberfest
every day!
