BOCKFEST AT KEGEL'S INN

April 23 - 26, 2025
A four-day beer-fueled, goat-filled, brat-slapping good time leading up to the Battle of the Bock!

Beer. Fire. Science. Experience the magic of caramelized bock beer as we plunge a red-hot poker into four different bocks, unlocking rich, malty flavors like the beer gods intended. Free admission.

• Brandy Old Fashioned Release Party! We’re teaming up with Dancing Goat Distillery to launch the BERENS Brandy Old Fashioned – as Midwest as it gets.
• Live Comedy! A special guest comedian (one of our favorites 👀) will have you laughing so hard you’ll spill your stein.

• Fish Fry in the Heated Beer Garden! It wouldn’t be Friday without it.
• Dancing Goat Distillery SAmpling, Live Music & Bock Beer Specials! Get primed for the main event with a beer in one hand and a fried fish in the other. HEAD TO OUR TABLE RESERVATION PAGE HERE
