Bocks!

I counted 12 guys all together on the six-pack I bought, 6 monks in robes and 6 going as George Washington to the costume party (18 if you included the guy in profile on the logo).

 

I stand corrected. Hmmm, I wonder if the more of them you drink the more fat guys you see or if perhaps I was somehow morphing that label with the label for Paulaner Oktoberfest Wiesn in my mind and thus visualizing an entire courtyard full of robust fellows quaffing huge tankards.

 

I've got a nice little collection of those microgoats myself.

 

Korbinian or Optimator for me, doppelbocks are the biz.

 

National Bock Day is March 15th. See Joe Sixpack's article from the Philadelphia Daily News.

 

The highest review I've posted in the Bock family is for Fort Collins Spring Bock, which is a Maibock, apparently discontinued.

That is higher than my review for Ayinger Celebrator.

Ayinger Celebrator is my favorite. What a beautiful beer!

 

Donunrue said the label, an image of which I posted. Don't know what's on the sixpack as I never buy that many at one time. Lush.

 

Aah- so my memory was playing tricks on me. Thanks for the info; I'll have to remember to start bugging my guy about it come September.

 

Well, I'm not saying that I necessarily drank them all at the same time but, I agree, consuming all six in one sitting could cause one to either count incorrectly, or see double...

I agree, a luscious beer, for sure (tho' I've never seen it abbreviated that way. Must be one of them modern internet abbreviation all you young dudes use! )

 

Yup. Me and Mott the Hoople!

 

Tommyknocker Butthead Doppelbock. Tasty and affordable!

 

I'm actually in a bock mood right now. Never had Celebrator and I'll probably pick one up tonight. I love Aventinus and Salvator.

 

Favorite Bock: Aventinus Eisbock
Favorite American Bock: Capital Autumnal Fire
Most surprisingly tasty bock: Schell Bock at less than 7 bucks a sixer. Bock on a budget!

Town Hall Brewery's Buffalo Bock, Weizenbock aged in Buffalo Trace barrels. One of the highlights of Town Hall's barrel aged week.

 

Celebrator is the best dopple out there...surprised to see such few people name it in this thread...very very good beer, i need to pick up some i havent had it in awhile bc ive been on a belgian kick

 

I picked up a twelve-pack of the new Otter Creek Spring (Mai)Bock, and I must say it is a damn fine beer. Sat in the front yard last night, with a nice spring breeze, and this beer really chubbed me out.

Not my favorite brewery, but this one and Copper Ale Altbier make them a staple in my yearly repetoire.

 

Agreed there -- I just finished off a six pack I got a couple weeks ago and was really impressed with this beer.

 

Genesee Bock! http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/302/41422 The best "Bang for the Buck Bock" there is!

 

Never had that one, as we only get the Cream Ale here in lower NY. Seems a bit low on the ABV for the style
