Pretzelfest is the official kickoff of the Bockfest season. Greg Hardman, President and CEO of Christian Moerlein, will preside over the ceremonial tapping of this season’s Christian Moerlein Emancipator Doppelbock. Local bakeries and restaurants will showcase unique pretzel creations. And award-winning blues artist Brian Keith Wallenwill provide live entertainment.
In addition to being a great party, Pretzelfest is an important fundraiser. We keep Bockfest local and authentic with the help of people like YOU. Admission includes a sampling of freshly baked pretzels from local restaurants and bakeries, two beer/drink tickets, a Queen City Sausage brat cooked by Mecklenberg Gardens and served on a pretzel bun, and a chance to win a luxury suite at the Garfield Suites during Bockfest weekend. Tickets are $40 and all proceeds help make Bockfest 2012 possible. Space is limited and Pretzelfest 2011 had to turn people away, so reserve your admission today at http://www.bockfest.otrbrewerydistrict.org/Pretzelfest.htm
