We give so much attention to Bavarian brews this time of year, let’s not overlook some of the great Northern German beers. Today we have Berliner Geschichte, since 1237!

Brewed under the beer purity law of 1516, this is a 6.7% Bock beer, pouring and tasting a lot like a heavyweight Helles. Yes, bigger than a Helles, similar but a larger grain bill I’d guess, malty and restrained hopping. Bocks originally get their name from another Northern German town of Einbeck, the word bock being a play on the town name.

Bocks usually have pictures of goats on them, another German play on words regarding goats. Where are the goats, I see no goats! Good brew, Prost!

I remember I bought this bottle and others just before the pandemic hit (February of 2020).
The Veil makes some amazing funk and other beers.
 
Homebrew pale ale. The goal was “what if Sierra Pale and Celebration had a baby”? 10 Lbs pale malt, 1 Lb C-60. 2:1 ratio Cascade:Centennial throughout including dry hop. Dry hopped at yeast pitch (BRY-97) 1oz Cascade 1/2oz Centennial, puny by today’s standards. And if you look closely it magically changes color depending on which hand I hold it in. ;)
