Bock-Style
Beers at Library
Bock-style beers have a long history in Germany. First brewed in
the northern city of Einbeck in the 14th century, Bock made its way to
Munich in Bavaria and blossomed into an array of related styles.
One such beer was first brewed by monks to sustain themselves during
their Lenten fasts as "liquid bread." Another was developed by a
female brewer in tribute to her recently-deceased husband. The
Bock family has a rich history, and many are traditionally brewed
during the Spring months.
In this class, we will discuss the fascinating history of Bock beer
styles. The Craft Beer Education Series is lead by David Nilsen,
Certified Cicerone. He will guide attendees through a tasting of
five beer styles, explaining the history and unique ingredients and
brewing processes of each.
Join us Thursday May 24th at 6:30 at the Greenville Public
Library. Craft Beer Education Series classes are free, but seats
are limited and registration is required. Please call the Library
at 937-548-3915 to reserve your seat. We hope to see you there!
