What could be better than a rich, malty traditional German-style bock? How about one that you made yourself? Our Bock of Ages is a delicious bock that uses Munich as the majority of the base for a bready, malty flavor, with a little bit of pilsner malt. Add some melanoidin and Special B malts for character and a slight stone fruit sweetness, and balance that with some Magnum hops. With that, you've got a bock suitable for even the most lederhosen-laden beer festivalst! Why travel all the way to Germany when you can enjoy the taste of authentic German beer in the comfort of your own personal biergarten? Brew up the Bock of Ages for your friends and family!
