CINCINNATI — Christian Moerlein Lager House has raised the bar on mid-priced dining in Cincinnati and it has also raised the bar on how a brewery reaches out to fans.
Not only does the Lager House have a robust growler program for those looking to stop in for a pint and leave with a few more, but it also has two beer clubs that offer the kind of benefits hop heads will flip for.
Here’s a breakdown of the two beer club levels and what members receive for joining:
Moerlein Lager House Beer Clubs
