A strong, dark German beer that is usually brewed in fall or winter and aged for several months.
From German 'Bock,' possibly from 'Einbeck,' a town in Germany famous for this style of beer. The drink got its name from its place of origin, a common pattern in beer naming.
Bock beer originated in the German town of Einbeck, but when Bavarian brewers started making it, they called it 'Bockbier'—and 'Bock' stuck! German beer names traveled the world, and now 'bock' is used internationally because German beer culture was so influential.
