Brian is back to deliver the goods on one of beer’s boldest and most storied lager styles. Born in German monasteries as “liquid bread,” doppelbock was brewed to sustain monks through long periods of fasting and cold winters. Rich, malty, and deceptively strong, this historic style has stood the test of time and continues to inspire brewers around the world. So pour yourself something dark and delicious, settle in, and enjoy the show.

Thanks, and as always… Cheers Beers!
