In celebration of our 180th Anniversary year, the marketplace will see one of the first seasonal offerings from the Yuengling Brewery in many years. Yuengling has produced a Bock Beer in its long and storied past, and we have now reinvented that product for limited release in 2009. The new brew is dark brown in color and offers exceptional flavor that lives up to the quality Yuengling drinkers have grown to expect.The artwork coupled with this seasonal brew is a direct re-creation of Yuengling signage from 1941. The original piece is on display in the Pottsville gift shop museum along with other historic Bock labels, bottles, and small pieces of point of sale. Most of these materials are from the 1930’s, 40’s, and 50’s.
Yuengling Bock Beer will be offered in ½ barrels only, beginning in late February and lasting for approximately 8-10 weeks. Let’s all raise a pint of Yuengling Bock and celebrate the 180th Anniversary year!

My buddy tasted the Bock in Upstate NY and said it's the best Yuengling beer ever. We're Chesterfield Ale fans, but he said the Bock is very tasty.
I would like to sample this. Since it's not available in 1/4 kegs to take home, where in the Lehigh Valley can I taste this?

Can you tell me where it can be found in both Philadelphia and in Delaware and Montgomery Counties (the western and northern suburbs of Philadelphia)? I can't wait to try it. A friend of mine just called me from a business trip in South Carolina to tell me he had it--I need me some of that bock too!
While I do not have a breakdown by county, maybe you will recognize some of the names in the follow list. This is a list of Bock accounts from the wholesaler that services the Philadelphia and surrounding areas. Please call the account you wish to go to and confirm that they still have the product available before making a special trip.

Thanks for sharing! Enjoy!
Had the Bock the other week and it was impressive! Don't take it away!
Tasted the Bock at the Tipsy Turtle (Wilkes-Barre area)
last night - finest, smoothest bock I've ever had. I'm sharing the good new with all serious beer consumers I know.
Just had one over lunch at the Cellar in Blacksburg, VA. Great taste! I will have to harness some more later this week.
Had the Bock beer the other day on draft was sad to find out it is not avalible in bottle in stores as I had rushed out to buy a case!!! Might it be avalible in bottle in the future?
We usually do not have great beer here in Alabama with our limited alcohol content law. (Up to 6%).
On Tap Sports Grill here in Birmingham has it. Quite tasty I must say!
I had Bock at World of Beer in Tampa and i have to say that out of all of the beers i've tasted, which is many, this has to be one of the best.
that sweet start and that nice slight taste of hops on the backend is absolutley fantastic. other beers go a little overboard on the hops but you guys nailed it.
it just goes to show that with age comes experience and like the great Biergartens of Munich, you guys at Yuengling are entering that stage of mythic quality.
thanks,
Big Dave, the World of Beer cook
Ohio NEEDS Yuengling!!!!!!
You folks need to put this excellent logo on the back of a T-shirt!
just had the bock down in jacksonville, florida .. EXCELLENT brew.
I live in the UK but I visit Florida a lot and I do like Yuengling beers. Does any of the amber nectar get exported to the UK? I'd sure like to buy it over here.
Yuengling - I am saddened to learn so late. I suspect it is over. I would have driven up from Delaware to taste it. Any plans if you might offer next year? Thank you!
Russ-
Sorry that you missed the Bock Beer this year. It was a great success and there is a good chance that it will return in the Spring! Keep reading the Yuengling Blog to stay up to date with what's going on in the Yuengling market place.
Thanks for your support!
Can we get the artwork as a poster yet? Love the Bock beer, had it at the Conewago Inn, Manchester, PA.
I have an original,antique puppy dog poster in it's original frame..fantastic condition. Any offers to buy? thanks,B.Jones
Just purchased a case of the Bock Beer and I love it. I love the Chesterfield Ale and The Porter. The Bock seems to be a perfect blend of both. What is the alcohol content of the Bock?? Keep it coming for good! Not just limited release.
Is it available only in kegs? Is there any left in the sate of Delaware?
hi, i live on the wv/pa border, does anyone know where i can get a case of this?
So I found like 2 cases at a liquor store but would like so much more bock beer. We live in Baltimore. Does anyone know where to get more of that around here. Also, where can I find the Premium?
i also live in baltimore, and i got plenty of bock beer at the wine source (the avenue in hampden, 36th st). keep it coming yuengling!!!! any chance its on tap in baltimore?
I found Yuengling Bock at the Harris Teeter in Reston VA tonight and it's pretty darn delicious.
Got this from J&J pizza in middletown ,PA for the first time to night. AWESOME! Not that I would expect anything different from you guys!
What a great beer, great flavor and a clean finish that I never would've expected!
I picked up a couple of six packs at Total Wine & Beverage in Springfield, VA. All I can say is WOW! what a great beer. I seriously hope that Yuengling will consider making this brew a permanent offering.
State Line Liquors in Elkon has some which is about an hour up 95 from Baltimore. tasted it for the first time tonight. Pretty tasty. Glad to see Yuengling getting into the craft like beers!
Just had a couple Bock's at Ron's Crooked Hill Tavern, Pottstown PA....Nice Brew!!!
I just had the Bock for the first time and brought some back from PA to share with my friends here near Pensacola, fl. Now we are all hooked and was wondering if there is anywhere nearby to buy it?? Thanks!!
Excited to taste the experience of a true old school bock circa 1940’s.
What a real treat!. So many micros have re-invented this style. I’m happy to sample the real one. Bring back the Old School beers of the early 1900’s
I wish you another 150 years of continued success!
It's really good! Maybe the best Yuengling I've had.
Bock Rocks! This is one of the best beers I've had in a while.Problen is it's only available for a limited time,and it's the only beer I wnt to drink!Please make it available year round.Even the label is cool.Great job!
I was at a resturant Thursday night and had what they call Yuengling Spring Bock and loved it. Went to Beer Distributor in Mucy, Pa and was told it was seasonal and they could not get it. Is this true?
Alright this really stinks!!!! A buddy of mine brought me a Black and Tan (good buddy cause he did bring me a 12 pack) but now guess what...Yup it's all gone. Now I want more and would love to try the others especially the Bock. Problem is I live in Illinois and don't stand a chance at getting more anytime soon. Can anyone help a pooooor beer conisourre????
Hands down the best Bock, and one of the best overall Beers I have ever had! I wish you would brew it regularly because I would'nt drink anything else!
I bought Yuengling Bock Beer in Huntington, WV. Try it if get a chance! It's fantastic! I really hope we'll see it offered as a non-seasonal beer. I bought mine at Krogers and will stop again tomorrow to buy more.
My understanding is Bock beer is only available in Feb - March because this is whe the breweries get ready to shut down to clean their vessels. Bock Beer comes off at the bottom of the beer vessel. This is why it is dark and strong and verrry good. Thirty years ago it used to be very inexpensive compared to regular brew. Now everyone wants it so it cost more.
Stu,
Traditionally that is the story behind Bock Beer. In modern day breweries however, the kettles and tanks are cleaned regularly after every use. Glad you enjoy it!
Please please please make more!!!
