Bock Style Guide

The King of Beers (in Bock form)

Bock beers are a style of German lager that's perfect for sipping while pretending to be a sophisticated European aristocrat.

• Bockbier Stil: the original and only Bock style that matters

Substyles of Bock:

• Maibock: for those who want a lighter Bock that's almost, but not quite a lager.
• Dunkelbock: for those who like their Bock with a little darkness and a lot of mystery
• Bock Koenig: the most majestic of all Bock styles, brewed with the finest ingredients and the most pretentious of attitudes

Remember, a true Bock connoisseur knows that the key to a great Bock is a perfect balance of malts and hops, and a healthy dose of snobbery.
