Beer-style: Bock Family
Gordon Strong’s Eisbock
The secret of eisbock is the freeze concentration, transforming the beer from one style into another.

Oakshire Brewing Co.’s Doppelbock clone
Doppelbock is one of our favorite brews to make each year. Ferment low and slow to ensure a very smooth and malt-forward beer that can withstand the high alcohol.
Victory Brewing Co.’s St. Victorious Doppelbock clone
