    I think Schlenkerla Eiche is more common in the US than in Germany :stuck_out_tongue:
    Ditto with Mahr's Christmas Bock.

    I meant for that to read that in Germany this beer is seasonal only. I'm not sure if that's the case for the exported stuff. Either way, go get yourself some!

    Old Fezziwig is still my favorite. I give Anchor a shot every year and I just don't like it that much.

    While not as cool of a story, they really ARE goats. "Bock" is the German word for goat. You'll see goats on a lot of German bock-strength beers.
