May 21: Don't Block the Bocks at Johnny Brenda's
Ten varieties of bock-style beer are on tap this Saturday at Johnny Brenda's (1201 Frankford Ave.), starting at the early hour of 11 a.m., and they're looking toward you beer geeks to help them kick all 10 by 2 a.m. Bocks are rich and malty German and German-style strong lagers (higher ABV) with a spectrum of shades from almost golden to dark brown. You've got your maibocks, which tend to be refreshing, paler and a little more hopped; doppelbocks, the dark, uber-malty, stronger variety; and eisbocks, with the highest level of alcohol content, causing them to drink hot, usually with fruity notes.
JB's pay-as-you-go selection this weekend will showcase local bock-style brews. Your lineup includes Victory's Moonglow (spicy, wheaty Weizenbock); Stoudt's smooth Blonde Double Maibock; Lancaster Brewing's Rumpsringa, brewed with local honey; Sly Fox's toffee- and caramel-heavy Slacker Bock; and six more from Troegs, Manayunk, Ramstein and Great Lakes breweries. As dank beers and sausage go hand-in-hand, several styles of German sausages from Bucks County's Illg's Meats will be offered in tandem with their usual a la carte menu.
