Do you like beer and dead people? The Spring Grove Heritage Foundation does, too, and its annual An Afternoon with the Beer Barons explores both via tours and tastings (of beer, not people).

Docents will lead guests on guided, air-conditioned motor coach jaunts of the final resting places of famous local beer kingpins like Christian Moerlein and John Kauffman, relating tales of their history and alcoholic achievements along the way.

Local living brewers — including those from Brink Brewing, Christian Moerlein, MadTree, Fretboard, Swine City and more — will be on hand so you can sample their most popular and unique beers.

There will snacks from food trucks Patriot Grill and Peace Pizza and live music from the Cincy River Rats. Strictly 21 and up.

4-7 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 17. $30; $20 designated driver. Spring Grove Cemetery, 4521 Spring Grove Ave., Spring Grove Village, springgrove.org.
