Have an interest in bock beer and bock beer cans?

Come join the Zoom session.

I'll be moderating the first 45 mins with Jim Romine, then anyone can talk about their bock items and then it is a free-4-all on anything about the hobby!!

[keithker]

As the host/moderator, I will be asking @Jim Romine numerous questions but want to make sure he is prepared to answer them and have any images readily available.

Have some questions you'd like to provide in advance so we can make it as interactive as possible?

We'll be going over the normal expected items....What is bock beer? Why is bock beer canned on such a limited basis? What is the hardest bock beer can to obtain? etc.

Why is bock beer canned on such a limited basis?

You're kidding, right? Spoetzl Brewery makes and sells Shiner Bock 365 days a year in just about all 48 continental states. I've heard that over 50% of their annual beer production is Shiner Bock.

Now, back in the good old days, (when dinosaurs roamed the earth), bock beer was only produced in the springtime and was produced on a limited basis. Many breweries never even made a bock beer.

Here is why I believe bock is usually a seasonal brew. Maybe Jim will have further insight during his webinar. Given how old Keith is, if anyone wants confirmation of this, he can set us straight because he was probably there helping the monks.

2 things, Keith.

First - How about asking Jim what bock cans SHOULD exist, but no known examples have turned up yet.
Second - Will you post the link to the recorded webinar here? I'll be out of town but don't want to miss this!

Thanks for doing this. It is very cool an very resourceful.

While I don't believe it's available in a can, where did the term double bock come from? One of my faves lately has been a brew from Paulaner called Salvatore and it's a double Bock. Why is that?
