Speaker 1 (00:00):
A six fifty five KRCD talk station. Of course, Polko
music means we're gonna have some fun. You're in the
fifty five karassee morning show. I love celebrating everything German
because you have a great time at German events, without question,
it's always gummultli kite, and somebody knows all about that.
Mike Kaisel, who is one of those German guys. Welcome

(00:21):
to the program. Mike, it's a pleasure to have you on. Man.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
Ah good Morgan Brian, It's always a great time when
I get to be on with you and I see
you at all the different German events as well.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
The time, Man, what a great time. And Lord knows,
in these trying times, you know, politically and socially speaking,
we need a place where we can all come together
and collectively have fun, which is what all these German
events are all about. God blessed. That is what gimutli
Kite is. So, Mike, that's what it is.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
What.

Speaker 1 (00:49):
Okay, let's start with before we get to the event,
which is the Canteen beer Garden keg tapping, which is
already sounds alluring to me. Tell my listeners about those
German guys. You can find them on face at Those
German Guys or go online to their website, Those German
Guys dot com. What are you guys all about?

Speaker 2 (01:07):
Yeah, well, you know Willie, my partner, Willie g. You know,
he he grew up in Germany, his dad was in
the military, lived in Stuttgart. My dad's side of the
families from Munich, my mom's side of the families from Hanover, Germany.
Actually in over the Rhine. My great grandfather had a
grocery store where the drinker he is and over the
Rhine that was his grocery store in eighteen forty.

Speaker 1 (01:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
So we have a lot of German tradition with Willy
and I and those German guys, and we started this
just to promote everything German and Cincinnati, all at different clubs,
all the different events. So you know, we post stuff online,
we get a lot of events, and you know, it's
just all about the fun and kmukleikite like you said, Brian,
and you know, we just try to share the fun
and make German fun and cool.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
So, I mean, you support all of the various German clubs,
and lord knows, we've got more than most people are
even aware of. I mean the obvious ones come to mind,
like colping, but you're not wed any anyone given group.
You'll support every october Fest that comes down the pike,
regardless who's hosting it, that kind of thing.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
We go out and we volunteered a lot of these
different events as well for the different clubs. You know,
you have Germania, Liberty Home, Dona Schwaben and Coping as
you mentioned. So yeah, we partake in all there. So
like Dona Schwabin Schwabinfest, Willie and I were in the book,
it's those German guys pouring beer for them and and
your buddy Joe Strecker was there with us too, so
we all had a great time.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
Of course he was there. Nobody's more German than Joe Strecker. Anyhow, well,
you go, well, Mike, I guess before we move out
of the event, we're going to talk about today. You
do events throughout the year. Is this an organization those
German guys dot com that like welcomes new members or
is it just you and your buddy there which do

(02:48):
this promotion on your own? How does that work?

Speaker 2 (02:51):
Well, actually, we are going to start accepting members on
it that was one of the things that we have
in the work. So we're going to make those German guys.
We're going to have a beer stuba at Moreline Logger
House and it's kind of not really a club, more
of just a gathering, so just trying to bring everybody together.
We don't want to have meetings and get it all

(03:11):
confused with all that stuff. We just want to have
everybody get together, drink beer, share the comuglic height, which
is what the German culture is supposed to be without
all the headaches.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
Well that's wonderful, and you do have access for I
understand from your website to some of the new German beers.
And I'm intrigued by an event you have called strong
beer Fest. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
Well that's a well in Munich, Germany. That's the second
largest fest in Germany next to Octoberfest. And it started
out as a way for the people you know, fasting
during Lent and everything like that, and the strong beer,
which is stark beer in German. Strong beer it's like
seven percent APV or higher and they used to drink that,

(03:59):
you know during Lent. Oh yeah, interesting thing with that
is yeah, like you know, a quick story, uh, Polaner
Salvatore is the first Stark beer, and you know, the
monks were drinking that, and then the spread by monks,
and you know they thought, well, you know, maybe we're
breaking cannon law here by you know, drinking this beer.
So they sent a keg of it to the Pope

(04:19):
and Rome. And by the time the keg had got there,
the beer had spoiled, and the Pope was like, he
took one drink and he's like, if you guys want
to drink this, you're fine. It's not going to violate
any Canada. Well, so that was the beginning of Stark
Beer Fest.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
Oh that's hilarious. That's actually a great story. I'm glad
you told it. So come here coming up? What the
Canteen Beer Garden keg time and Canteen Beer Garden on
Harrison Avenue, Is that what we're talking about?

Speaker 2 (04:46):
Correct? Correct? Cantina Ka and t I n e uh.
The owner Peter Schuster, He's from Germany. He makes a
lot of different dishes from scratch. It's a charming, cozy
little restaurant. It's tucked away. It's kind of like where
Crosley Field used to be.

Speaker 3 (05:02):
And like I said, many of the menu items he
has he makes from scratch. Last month he had a
gulash that he made and actually we topped the keg
of Weltonberger ten point fifty and he actually used some
of the beer from that in the gulash.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
So you got to check out his students. Absolutely fantastic.
And we do the keg tappings there the third Thursday
of the month, and you know, since we're kicking off
Octoberfest season Peter, this week, it's this Thursday night at Cantina.
We have shot in Octoberfest that we're going to be
doing the keg topping and we do that and we
have a lot of different fun and games and Peters

(05:38):
also has a costler Richen which is nope porchup mashed
potatoes and sauerkraut as the featured menu item this month.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
Oh you got my mouth water And with that, let
me man.

Speaker 2 (05:50):
I know, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 (05:52):
No, that's okay. It happens all the time, you know,
And I love Octoberfest season, which we can talk about
a little bit here, but because a lot of the
German club will come into the studio and with them
they bring all of the fare you got your pastries
and your sausages and all the other wonderful German food,
and I get to eat it in the morning. So
just looking forward to those guys going to the studio.

(06:12):
They're all welcome anyhow, So what time does this events?
When is it? What time does this event start at
the canteena beer garden.

Speaker 2 (06:20):
This is this Thursday, five thirty to ten pm. And
like I said, we normally do the keg tappings on
the third Thursday of the month at Cantina. And that's
kind of like the other thing with those German guys.
You know, we go to different organizations and we do
different events at different places such as Cantina. We used
to do the tag tappings at Mecklenburg Gardens. Unfortunately Mecklenburg's close,

(06:41):
so we move them to Cantina. So we need to
support our German restaurants and things like that in the
Tri State. You know, we've lost quite a few of them.
So Cantenan is really a great place to go, and
you need to check it out. He does a great
brush stook, which is breakfast on Sunday morning. It's a
traditional German breakfast with the soft boiled eggs, you know,

(07:02):
cold cuts, cheeses and you know he also has omelets
and things like that. But he also serves as traditional
German breakfast on Sunday mornings as well well.

Speaker 1 (07:11):
Joe Strekord, just to ask some here, are is canteen
of Beer Garden by any chance open? Uh for lunch
during the weekdays.

Speaker 2 (07:20):
Uh, I'm not one hundred percent sure on the hours
on that.

Speaker 1 (07:23):
Okay, maybe I didn't want to put you on the spotlish.

Speaker 2 (07:27):
Yeah, that's okay, you.

Speaker 1 (07:29):
Just had because Joe said the bunch. I'm just thinking,
well maybe just maybe down the road to some day
we could have a listener lunch there and help support
that uh that that that restaurant, but any of that.
So if a Jill put a link up to your
your website on my blog page, pickbove Carcy dot com,
so folks can follow you and learn about all the
other events you're going to be doing throughout there, and

(07:50):
you do some things coming up including what I the
us AA Ohio Steinholding Championship is that is that coming
up down the pike here?

Speaker 2 (07:59):
It is you know, only the Germans could come up
and make a sport out of my beer. So imagine this,
you have. You know, a group of people, they're standing
there at a table, you know, facing the table, there's
a leader dimpled beer stein there full of beer, and
you pick it up and you hold it straight out

(08:21):
with your arm completely straight and you see who can
hold up the longest. So that is Moskruz Stemmen, which
is Moss, which is the Steinkruge holding, you know cup
and Stemen Holding, So that's the steinholding. So more Line
is actually the host of the State of Ohio championship
for steinholding. There's other fourteen other states in the US

(08:43):
Steinholding Association that have a state championship, and the state
championship is going to be at more Line October twelfth,
and there's competitors coming from all across Ohio. They're going
to competing at Moreline Loggerhouse for the state championship. And
you know, we have prize and stuff like that. And
then if you can imagine the WWE Championship belt, we

(09:05):
give those away to the men's and women's champion. Yeah,
it's a who it's a great time.

Speaker 1 (09:10):
Oh, Mike, a couple of years he just stepped in.
I targeted it up. But you just said, yeah, I
was going to ask you if there were men's and
women's divisions on this, recognizing some of the problems we're
having of late with men and women, uh, in terms
of categorization or self identification. But there are men's and
women's diet.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
Yes, yes, yes, there's men's and women's. Tim Plannard, who's
the three time reigning men's champion, he you know, he
usually holds for about twelve minutes something to yeah, oh,
I know it. This is crazy. I mean, there's a
whole culture of steinholding out there that most people are
probably not aware of. But this is a big deal.

(09:48):
We had thirty men compete last year for the state
championship and every twenty women.

Speaker 1 (09:53):
Oh that's a see. You know I always joke around her,
say it truth that not a day goes by on
the morning show I don't learn something. And you know,
I've been working with these German organizations since I've been
on radio, and I don't ever recall talking about this
being such a well organized event and well participated in
a serious event. I suppose I could add, how about that, Yeah, well,

(10:15):
well maybe you're round for that one too. You can
hear you're always here, welcome here in the fifty five
Cassey Morning Show that spread the info about the German
heritage and tradition, all the events that go on. We're blessed.
We are so blessed to have such great German culture
and to be able to celebrate it here at Greater
Cincinnati area.

Speaker 2 (10:29):
So yeah, no doubt and if I could quickly.

Speaker 1 (10:32):
Absolutely.

Speaker 2 (10:32):
In order to compete for the state championship, you have
to win a qualifying event. There's different qualifying events throughout
the tri state and Moreline Loggerhouse has a qualifying event
on August thirty first, so you can qualify there. At
five pm, Greg is also going to reveal his October
pasidentdinnaty menu which includes rotissery chicken, and the famous hour

(10:55):
craft balls, and he has a keg pappy and at
six pm of which is more Line's October Fest Best Beer,
which is the same type of beer served in the
Munich Beer tents. You know, it's a fantastic beer made
by more Line, as all the beers at more Line
are fantastic, So you need to come out that and
that's August thirty first at more Line Loggerhouse. We have

(11:18):
the keg tapping and the qualifying Steinholding event that you
need to compete in to compete in the state championship
if you'd like to win a WWE championship type belt.
It says State of Ohio Champion for Steinholding.

Speaker 1 (11:30):
And of course ESPN eight THEO will be covering that event.
I'm sure, well, you joke.

effort to make a joke. Mike. Those German Guys dot com.
