OK, Kreimer's Bier Haus (St. Rte 128 just south of I74) does not qualify as a dive since it has become one of our regular places. We had only 'discovered' it this past May so it is still new to us. Tracy and I had spent a May day celebrating our birthdays and just dropped in while wandering our way home. We were delighted to find the new bier garden in the back open. The many terraces, gazebos and quiet view of the lazy Great Miami river quickly made the Bier Haus one of our summertime favorites.
We had only eaten outside on the upper deck and down by the river. The menus are different, with full meals available at the restaurant level and more appetizer fare at the river. Before Christmas we decided to try the inside dining experience. We sat in the back room which has a low ceiling, dark wood and very toasty fireplace. With the Christmas decorations and fire, it was perfect place to share the holidays with friends.
They have two house ales - Kreimers Dark and Light which we usually order. Available in 20 or 40 ounce glasses! Mick was disappointed to learn that they did not have the porkchops he always ordered but quickly replaced it with the special - all you can eat crab legs. It seemed to be the reason many had come to the Bier Haus that night. Tracy's Mike ordered the same. Earlier in the summer I had ordered a house speciality burger which was topped with a brat and sauerkraut. I stayed away from that behemoth this time! Tracy and I had the Chicken Cordon Bleu. Soon we were being sprayed with crab juices and butter as the boys began digging in. In the middle of their second order we left to talk at the bar, we had seen enough! We enjoyed our wintertime experience at the Bier Haus but definitely prefer the warm weather and the outside bier garden.
