Cincinnati's Queen City Sausage is hosting its first-ever Queen City Sausage Festival, on July 15-17 at Newport's Riverfront Levee. The festival, with no admission charge, will feature a number of sausages, live music, games, rides and some of the city's favorite craft beers.
“Queen City Sausage is a local “craft” sausage maker whose recipes are authentic with only the finest ingredients used including hand mixed spices,” said Mark Balasa, Queen City’s marketing manager. Since 1965, Elmer Hensler, founder and president, still employs old world sausage craftsmanship and real wood smoke flavor in the company’s sausage production. Queen City Sausage is the Official bratwurst and mettwurst of the Cincinnati Reds.
