Bock Beer is a strong, malty brew that came from the area around Einbeck, Germany. It started as an ale, but switched teams when lager yeasts showed up in in the region. It's a smooth beer, amber in color and light on hops. Named after the town of its origin, it was mispronounced by southerners as ein bock, which translates to billy goat — and the name bock stuck. Now you know why there's a goat associated with this tasty style. Drink one or brew one, this is a beer for celebrations, so happy National Bock Day!
