Christian Moerlein owner Greg Hardman keynote speaker for Ohio Brew Week 2012

Christian MoerleinReviving Cincinnati’s brewing history and the German lager style of craft brew so popular in the 1880s, has been the focused mission of Greg Hardman, owner of Christian Moerlein Brewing Co. in Cincinnati’s Over-the-Rhine Brewery District since 2004.

Hardman, a 1984 graduate of Ohio University, returns to Athens, Ohio as the keynote speaker for the 7th Ohio Brew Week, June 22-30, 2012.

“Greg spearheaded a $10 million investment in craft brewing for Cincinnati, and is an inspiration for other visionaries in the craft brew industry,” said Dan Gates, director of Ohio Brew Week. “We think Greg’s story will enthuse brewers and craft brew lovers.” Gates also added that OBW 2012 “is going to be the big reunion year that I knew one day would happen. With a loyal Ohio University alum such as Greg and the kind of passion he has for the industry, especially the history of the old styles of the great American brewers, and his love of Athens, this is going to be an exciting Ohio Brew Week."
