Beer Review

Bock beer has traditionally been brewed during the winter months and lagered (stored) for consumption with the arrival of spring – generally as part of Easter festivities.  This beer style is noted for its dark, rich color, warm notes and a reasonably high gravity as traditionally the alcohol content is north of 6.5%.  

As the story goes bock beer originated in the Northern German city of Einbeck in the 14th century.   As a consequence of trade a regional favorite gradually gained acceptance across all of Germany and later the rest of Europe.  

The name ‘bock’ is derived from ‘beck’ in Einbeck.  Bock also translates to ‘billy goat'  (ziegenbock) and as bock biers were generally brewed under the sign of Capricorn the name stuck.  Nowadays, the beer is generally associated with images of a goat.  

This refreshing lager is brewed by Leinenkugel.  The inclusion of oat flakes in the brew impart a smoothness to its malty flavor with notes of roasted nuts.  

Grab a couple cold ones - it will not fill you-up.
