Leinenkugel’s, brewed in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, is the leading craft brewer in the upper Midwest. Year-round offerings include Leinenkugel’s Classic Amber Lager, Sunset Wheat, Honey Weiss, Berry Weiss, Leinie’s Red, Creamy Dark, Original and Light. In addition to 1888 Bock, Leinenkugel’s offers three other limited-release seasonal beers including summer favorite Leinenkugel’s Summer Shandy, Oktoberfest and Fireside Nut Brown.
The New Year is bringing with it the return of Leinenkugel’s 1888 Bock – brewed based on the Jacob Leinenkugel Brewing Company’s first bock beer recipe developed 121 years ago. Leinenkugel’s most successful spring seasonal brew is a true bock style beer that touts a foam collar thick enough to steady a pencil.
Available January through March nationwide in bottles and on draft, Leinenkugel’s 1888 Bock’s robust head seizes the rich aroma of toasted and caramel malts. The flavor of this full-bodied brew is heavily defined by the Munich malts and the 20 to 25-day cold lagering process, which creates a smooth, toasted malt flavor. Leinenkugel’s 1888 Bock also features Caramel, Pale and two-row Chocolate malts while Cluster hops add a touch of citrus character. I had a chance to taste this beer and it's delicious.
