Thought to be from the famous Alpine brewery in Aying, Bavaria, the German Bock strain is a versatile, malty-charactered lager strain that balances malt and hop flavors well. It is superb for bocks, doppelbocks, Oktoberfest lagers, helles and a favorite for American pilsners, too.
This strain, or a reasonable approximation, is sold by White Labs under WLP-833 German Bock.
