Bock
As the holiday season approaches, some brewers begin to roll out their festive seasonal brews just in time for your celebrations. One of such brews is Bockbier, or simply Bock, which is the German translation for “strong beer.” The name Bock relates to the German city of Einbeck, from which this beer emerged in the fourteenth century. Bockbier became famous throughout (and beyond) Germany to a point where the neighbouring German states grew jealous of Bock’s success. In fact, the degree of jealousy was so strong that on one particular occasion a brewmaster from Einbeck was lured into Munich by Duke Ludwig X and forced to share the secret of producing this beer, thus, giving Bavaria the ability to recreate the delicious beer and end Einbeck’s hegemony.
