>> Cincy Winefest to celebrate its 30th year with another fine bash
Graeter’s, a company created in Cincinnati, has been serving up ice cream and other sweet treats to the masses for over a century.
Braxton Brewing Company, based out of Covington, Ky., will be hosting special events this weekend to celebrate the release of the new stout.
On Friday, Feb. 28, the new concoction will be available on draft and in cans, beginning at 8 a.m. And, since the event wouldn’t be possible with the help of Graeter’s, the ice cream chain’s signature donuts will be served with a signature latte from Coffee Emporium.

Then, on Saturday, Feb. 29, the brewery, along with Graeter’s, will be hosting an ice cream sampling from 5-7 p.m. with a special ice cream-themed photo booth and D.J.
Sunday’s event is one that the entire family can attend. On this day, there will be a sundae bar and a special visit from the penguins at the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden. That’s right — you’re not dreaming.

Each event is free, minus the cost of beer and other special treats.
