\"Ltm<\/a>It has been at least a few years since the Rare Beer Club featured a weizenbock as one of its featured selections. The most recent example I dug up was Meantime Brewing Co.\u2019s Limited Edition Weizen Double Bock, which the club featured back in August 2014. This style, as is true for many of the more out-there traditional beer styles in the world, has tended to find more frequent expression outside its country of origin (although many of the tastiest classic examples of the weizenbock space still definitely come from Germany). But the fact that the club\u2019s 2014 weizenbock example was from England\u2014and this newest one from Les Trois Mousquetaires in Quebec\u2014kinda echoes the general state of the weizenbock style overall.<\/p>\n

The history of weizenbock generally traces its lineage back to Schneider Aventinus, which was introduced by famed weissbier producer Private Weissbierbrauerei G. Schneider & Sohn in Bavaria back in 1907. That said… writer K. Florian Klemp noted in the (since-defunct) All About Beer<\/em> Magazine <\/em>that bock used wheat way back in the pre-Reinheitsgebot 14th<\/sup> century; in that frame, this combo of wheat + strong malty beer has at least been explored a bit before. For modern drinkers: I\u2019ll say that these beers are some of my favorite to seek out, combining the fluffy, toasty contributions of wheat with that rich, malty focus of a bock or doppelbock.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re digging the Les Trois Mousquetaires example, there\u2019s a decent chance you\u2019ll be able to find some other weizenbocks locally. Aventinus, Weihenstephaner\u2019s Vitus, and Ayinger\u2019s Weizenbock are worth checking out and on the more readily available side. My personal fav in this general space is probably The Livery\u2019s Bourbon Barrel Aged Wheat Trippelbock from Michigan\u2014which clearly takes everything up a few notches. Have a local weizenbock you\u2019re digging, or a fav classic? Let the club know what\u2019s tasting good on Twitter: @RareBeerClub.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
