Episode 367 - Bock to Basics

The bitterly cold winter months call for rich and bready lagers, and the bock beer is ready to swaddle you in warming flavors. For this show, we try five very different bock beers that speak to the diversity of the style and contribute to the sudden inebriation of the hosts. We uncover the history of bocks while acknowledging the vast differences between substyles, but we can't resist driving the bock pun thing into the ground. Listen for Craig's surprising personality test, our two-decades late XXX movie review, the latest market advice on Beanie Babies, our VagueCast about The Crown, and the top three societal contributions of House of Pain. We also play a game of Stumptappd for bock beers. Whatever you do, please don't look bock in anger.  Beers Reviewed Alarmist Brewing - Sebastian (Bock) Great Central Brewing Company - Weizenbock Forbidden Root Brewing Company - Beanie Weather (Bock beer w/ orange & spices) Maplewood Brewing Company - Silver Morning (Doppelbock) Pipeworks Brewing Company - Genuine Bock Beer
