TX Maibocks?

You may be able to find Hofbrau Maibock if you look hard enough. Aside from that, I'm drawing blanks.

 

Bucking Bock is the current seasonal for Rahr's, which they refer to as a "German-Style Spring Bock".

I'm curious as to what Live Oak would do with a Maibock. They haven't made one that I'm aware of.

 

Franconia made a good Maibock. I have not seen it in a while, but Houston does not get a ton of Franconia.

 

I've heard Rahr people refer to it as a maibock. Otherwise it's pretty much that and Franconia as far as I'm aware.

 

Real Ale Brewer's Cut Maibock is coming out this summer.

 

Gordon Biersch has a maibock out. It's pretty good.

 

Where are you finding this?

 

The restaurant's got it on tap usually around this time of year.

 

This makes me wet

 

It might be sold in bottle but it's definitely available at the restaurants in Dallas on 75 and Plano wherever it is in Plano. They had a tapping party last week and they were serving it on gravity. They do brew it on site, which I did not know. I thought the tanks were for show but one of the brewers was pouring and took me in the brewhouse and convinced me otherwise.

 

New Belgium has their Hoppy Bock as the first release of their "Hop Kitchen Series"

 

And it doesn't taste at all like a true maibock. Not a bad beer, but it tastes like a hoppy pale ale.

 

That Hoppy Bock is a lot better than I thought it would be.

Saint Arnold's Spring Bock, does that qualify? Sprecher makes a decent Mai Bock.

 

Had SA's Spring Bock a few times. Has the look and taste of a regular bock to me.

 

Was not impressed with the sa spring bock at all. Thought it was pretty ugh personally.
