Bock beer dates back to medieval days of German monasteries where they would brew a strong beer for nourishment during their Lent festival.
In modern day - Bock beer is usually a bottom fermenting lager that takes some extra months of lagering (cold storage) to smooth out the strong characteristics. Bock beer is generally stronger than the average lager with more robust malt character and the color can range from light copper to brown in color and with higher alcohol somewhere between 6-7%.
In this class we will taste and discuss the 7 different styles of Bock Beer:
1. Traditional Bock
2. Mai-Bock
3. Helles Bock
4. Doppelbock
5. Eis-Bock
