Speaker 1: in these trying times, you know, politically and socially speaking,
Speaker 1: we need a place where we can all come together
Speaker 1: and collectively have fun, which is what all these German
Speaker 1: events are all about. God blessed. That is what gimutli
Speaker 1: Kite is. So, Mike, that's what it is.
Speaker 2: What.
Speaker 1: Okay, let's start with before we get to the event,
Speaker 1: which is the Canteen beer Garden keg tapping, which is
Speaker 1: already sounds alluring to me. Tell my listeners about those
Speaker 1: German guys. You can find them on face at Those
Speaker 1: German Guys or go online to their website, Those German
Speaker 1: Guys dot com. What are you guys all about?
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you know Willie, my partner, Willie g. You know,
Speaker 2: he he grew up in Germany, his dad was in
Speaker 2: the military, lived in Stuttgart. My dad's side of the
Speaker 2: families from Munich, my mom's side of the families from Hanover, Germany.
Speaker 2: Actually in over the Rhine. My great grandfather had a
Speaker 2: grocery store where the drinker he is and over the
Speaker 2: Rhine that was his grocery store in eighteen forty.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So we have a lot of German tradition with Willy
Speaker 2: and I and those German guys, and we started this
Speaker 2: just to promote everything German and Cincinnati, all at different clubs,
Speaker 2: all the different events. So you know, we post stuff online,
Speaker 2: we get a lot of events, and you know, it's
Speaker 2: just all about the fun and kmukleikite like you said, Brian,
Speaker 2: and you know, we just try to share the fun
Speaker 2: and make German fun and cool.
Speaker 1: So, I mean, you support all of the various German clubs,
Speaker 1: and lord knows, we've got more than most people are
Speaker 1: even aware of. I mean the obvious ones come to mind,
Speaker 1: like colping, but you're not wed any anyone given group.
Speaker 1: You'll support every october Fest that comes down the pike,
Speaker 1: regardless who's hosting it, that kind of thing.
Speaker 2: We go out and we volunteered a lot of these
Speaker 2: different events as well for the different clubs. You know,
Speaker 2: you have Germania, Liberty Home, Dona Schwaben and Coping as
Speaker 2: you mentioned. So yeah, we partake in all there. So
Speaker 2: like Dona Schwabin Schwabinfest, Willie and I were in the book,
Speaker 2: it's those German guys pouring beer for them and and
Speaker 2: your buddy Joe Strecker was there with us too, so
Speaker 2: we all had a great time.
Speaker 1: Of course he was there. Nobody's more German than Joe Strecker. Anyhow, well,
Speaker 1: you go, well, Mike, I guess before we move out
Speaker 1: of the event, we're going to talk about today. You
Speaker 1: do events throughout the year. Is this an organization those
Speaker 1: German guys dot com that like welcomes new members or
Speaker 1: is it just you and your buddy there which do
Speaker 1: this promotion on your own? How does that work?
Speaker 2: Well, actually, we are going to start accepting members on
Speaker 2: it that was one of the things that we have
Speaker 2: in the work. So we're going to make those German guys.
Speaker 2: We're going to have a beer stuba at Moreline Logger
Speaker 2: House and it's kind of not really a club, more
Speaker 2: of just a gathering, so just trying to bring everybody together.
Speaker 2: We don't want to have meetings and get it all
Speaker 2: confused with all that stuff. We just want to have
Speaker 2: everybody get together, drink beer, share the comuglic height, which
Speaker 2: is what the German culture is supposed to be without
Speaker 2: all the headaches.
Speaker 1: Well that's wonderful, and you do have access for I
Speaker 1: understand from your website to some of the new German beers.
Speaker 1: And I'm intrigued by an event you have called strong
Speaker 1: beer Fest. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well that's a well in Munich, Germany. That's the second
Speaker 2: largest fest in Germany next to Octoberfest. And it started
Speaker 2: out as a way for the people you know, fasting
Speaker 2: during Lent and everything like that, and the strong beer,
Speaker 2: which is stark beer in German. Strong beer it's like
Speaker 2: seven percent APV or higher and they used to drink that,
Speaker 2: you know during Lent. Oh yeah, interesting thing with that
Speaker 2: is yeah, like you know, a quick story, uh, Polaner
Speaker 2: Salvatore is the first Stark beer, and you know, the
Speaker 2: monks were drinking that, and then the spread by monks,
Speaker 2: and you know they thought, well, you know, maybe we're
Speaker 2: breaking cannon law here by you know, drinking this beer.
Speaker 2: So they sent a keg of it to the Pope
Speaker 2: and Rome. And by the time the keg had got there,
Speaker 2: the beer had spoiled, and the Pope was like, he
Speaker 2: took one drink and he's like, if you guys want
Speaker 2: to drink this, you're fine. It's not going to violate
Speaker 2: any Canada. Well, so that was the beginning of Stark
Speaker 2: Beer Fest.
Speaker 1: Oh that's hilarious. That's actually a great story. I'm glad
Speaker 1: you told it. So come here coming up? What the
Speaker 1: Canteen Beer Garden keg time and Canteen Beer Garden on
Speaker 1: Harrison Avenue, Is that what we're talking about?
Speaker 2: Correct? Correct? Cantina Ka and t I n e uh.
Speaker 2: The owner Peter Schuster, He's from Germany. He makes a
Speaker 2: lot of different dishes from scratch. It's a charming, cozy
Speaker 2: little restaurant. It's tucked away. It's kind of like where
Speaker 2: Crosley Field used to be.
Speaker 3: And like I said, many of the menu items he
Speaker 3: has he makes from scratch. Last month he had a
Speaker 3: gulash that he made and actually we topped the keg
Speaker 3: of Weltonberger ten point fifty and he actually used some
Speaker 3: of the beer from that in the gulash.
Speaker 2: So you got to check out his students. Absolutely fantastic.
Speaker 2: And we do the keg tappings there the third Thursday
Speaker 2: of the month, and you know, since we're kicking off
Speaker 2: Octoberfest season Peter, this week, it's this Thursday night at Cantina.
Speaker 2: We have shot in Octoberfest that we're going to be
Speaker 2: doing the keg topping and we do that and we
Speaker 2: have a lot of different fun and games and Peters
Speaker 2: also has a costler Richen which is nope porchup mashed
Speaker 2: potatoes and sauerkraut as the featured menu item this month.
Speaker 1: Oh you got my mouth water And with that, let
Speaker 1: me man.
Speaker 2: I know, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: No, that's okay. It happens all the time, you know,
Speaker 1: And I love Octoberfest season, which we can talk about
Speaker 1: a little bit here, but because a lot of the
Speaker 1: German club will come into the studio and with them
Speaker 1: they bring all of the fare you got your pastries
Speaker 1: and your sausages and all the other wonderful German food,
Speaker 1: and I get to eat it in the morning. So
Speaker 1: just looking forward to those guys going to the studio.
Speaker 1: They're all welcome anyhow, So what time does this events?
Speaker 1: When is it? What time does this event start at
Speaker 1: the canteena beer garden.
Speaker 2: This is this Thursday, five thirty to ten pm. And
Speaker 2: like I said, we normally do the keg tappings on
Speaker 2: the third Thursday of the month at Cantina. And that's
Speaker 2: kind of like the other thing with those German guys.
Speaker 2: You know, we go to different organizations and we do
Speaker 2: different events at different places such as Cantina. We used
Speaker 2: to do the tag tappings at Mecklenburg Gardens. Unfortunately Mecklenburg's close,
Speaker 2: so we move them to Cantina. So we need to
Speaker 2: support our German restaurants and things like that in the
Speaker 2: Tri State. You know, we've lost quite a few of them.
Speaker 2: So Cantenan is really a great place to go, and
Speaker 2: you need to check it out. He does a great
Speaker 2: brush stook, which is breakfast on Sunday morning. It's a
Speaker 2: traditional German breakfast with the soft boiled eggs, you know,
Speaker 2: cold cuts, cheeses and you know he also has omelets
Speaker 2: and things like that. But he also serves as traditional
Speaker 2: German breakfast on Sunday mornings as well well.
Speaker 1: Joe Strekord, just to ask some here, are is canteen
Speaker 1: of Beer Garden by any chance open? Uh for lunch
Speaker 1: during the weekdays.
Speaker 2: Uh, I'm not one hundred percent sure on the hours
Speaker 2: on that.
Speaker 1: Okay, maybe I didn't want to put you on the spotlish.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's okay, you.
Speaker 1: Just had because Joe said the bunch. I'm just thinking,
Speaker 1: well maybe just maybe down the road to some day
Speaker 1: we could have a listener lunch there and help support
Speaker 1: that uh that that that restaurant, but any of that.
Speaker 1: So if a Jill put a link up to your
Speaker 1: your website on my blog page, pickbove Carcy dot com,
Speaker 1: so folks can follow you and learn about all the
Speaker 1: other events you're going to be doing throughout there, and
Speaker 1: you do some things coming up including what I the
Speaker 1: us AA Ohio Steinholding Championship is that is that coming
Speaker 1: up down the pike here?
Speaker 2: It is you know, only the Germans could come up
Speaker 2: and make a sport out of my beer. So imagine this,
Speaker 2: you have. You know, a group of people, they're standing
Speaker 2: there at a table, you know, facing the table, there's
Speaker 2: a leader dimpled beer stein there full of beer, and
Speaker 2: you pick it up and you hold it straight out
Speaker 2: with your arm completely straight and you see who can
Speaker 2: hold up the longest. So that is Moskruz Stemmen, which
Speaker 2: is Moss, which is the Steinkruge holding, you know cup
Speaker 2: and Stemen Holding, So that's the steinholding. So more Line
Speaker 2: is actually the host of the State of Ohio championship
Speaker 2: for steinholding. There's other fourteen other states in the US
Speaker 2: Steinholding Association that have a state championship, and the state
Speaker 2: championship is going to be at more Line October twelfth,
Speaker 2: and there's competitors coming from all across Ohio. They're going
Speaker 2: to competing at Moreline Loggerhouse for the state championship. And
Speaker 2: you know, we have prize and stuff like that. And
Speaker 2: then if you can imagine the WWE Championship belt, we
Speaker 2: give those away to the men's and women's champion. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's a who it's a great time.
Speaker 1: Oh, Mike, a couple of years he just stepped in.
Speaker 1: I targeted it up. But you just said, yeah, I
Speaker 1: was going to ask you if there were men's and
Speaker 1: women's divisions on this, recognizing some of the problems we're
Speaker 1: having of late with men and women, uh, in terms
Speaker 1: of categorization or self identification. But there are men's and
Speaker 1: women's diet.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, yes, there's men's and women's. Tim Plannard, who's
Speaker 2: the three time reigning men's champion, he you know, he
Speaker 2: usually holds for about twelve minutes something to yeah, oh,
Speaker 2: I know it. This is crazy. I mean, there's a
Speaker 2: whole culture of steinholding out there that most people are
Speaker 2: probably not aware of. But this is a big deal.
Speaker 2: We had thirty men compete last year for the state
Speaker 2: championship and every twenty women.
Speaker 1: Oh that's a see. You know I always joke around her,
Speaker 1: say it truth that not a day goes by on
Speaker 1: the morning show I don't learn something. And you know,
Speaker 1: I've been working with these German organizations since I've been
Speaker 1: on radio, and I don't ever recall talking about this
Speaker 1: being such a well organized event and well participated in
Speaker 1: a serious event. I suppose I could add, how about that, Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: well maybe you're round for that one too. You can
Speaker 1: hear you're always here, welcome here in the fifty five

Speaker 1: and to be able to celebrate it here at Greater
Speaker 1: Cincinnati area.
Speaker 2: So yeah, no doubt and if I could quickly.
Speaker 1: Absolutely.
Speaker 2: In order to compete for the state championship, you have
Speaker 2: to win a qualifying event. There's different qualifying events throughout
Speaker 2: the tri state and Moreline Loggerhouse has a qualifying event
Speaker 2: on August thirty first, so you can qualify there. At
Speaker 2: five pm, Greg is also going to reveal his October
