Warm up a bit this winter with a fusion of opposites at Moerlein Lager House’s Fire & Ice nights.

On Friday, Jan. 24, the restaurant and brewery will transform its outdoor and indoor beer gardens into a display of fiery entertainment and chilled indulgences. Fire & Ice dates also include Saturday, Feb. 1 and Saturday, Feb. 8, and guests can enjoy fire performers, drink luges at the Ice Bar, ice displays and fire pits. Moerlein will also still have heated dining igloos available to rent.

Also returning to Fire & Ice this year will be themed culinary experiences. Each night will feature two themed dinner sessions, featuring a welcome reception with a cocktail and light bites, followed by a three-course meal and beverage pairings. Renowned Cincinnati mixologist Molly Wellmann will share stories behind the evening’s theme, introduce the chef courses and discuss the paired drinks. She will also have specially curated drinks available throughout the nights at both the Ice Bar and Igloo Bar.

Themed dinners include:

Jan. 24
Session 1: Seafood dinner with wine and cocktail pairings
Session 2: Latin dinner with Latin-inspired cocktails

Feb. 1
Session 3: Weller Bourbon dinner with optional Pappy Van Winkle pours for an additional charge
Session 4: Girls Just Wanna Have Fun dinner with wine and cocktail pairings

Feb. 8
Sessions 5 and 6: Mardi Gras Celebration Dinner

All theme dinners are $65. For more information, or to book a dinner, visit moerleinlagerhouse.com.
