bock beer; lager beer. Beer drinkers who favor the strong, dark Bavarian lager beer called bock, which is usually brewed in the autumn and aged through the winter, may be surprised to learn that it takes its name from the German word for buck, or male goat—“because of its great strength making its con- sumers prance and tumble like these animals.” Bock beer comes from the German Eimbockbier, “buck beer from Eimbeck” in Lower Saxony, Germany. A lager beer is a beer that, like bock beer, has been “bedded down” in a storehouse for aging, lager simply meaning the German for “bed or resting place.” |
