It is Spring and for many people in the beer-loving community, that means Bock. German in origin, it’s a strong lager, usually dark, malty and lightly hopped. This week we dive deep into maibocks, helles bocks and don’t forget doppelbocks. We might even spot an eisbock along the way. We’ll talk to a couple of bar owners who know as much about beer as my co-host does about Mexican food. Then a pair of brewmasters stop by to share some of their handiwork.
