Drinking Socially - Ep. 11 - It's Gonna Be Mai....bock.
EPISODE SUMMARY:
As we move through May, it felt important to pay homage to the beers that were designed with this month in mind. Join us as we drink through a very traditional example of a Maibock, and then delve into something a little more modern. Food pairings, outside activities, and a reason to stop and enjoy a variation of Lager that will be harder to find as the weeks go by after this episode.
What We’re Drinking:

Glory Is Goldenbock by Burial & Zillicoah Beer Company
Link: https://untappd.com/b/burial-beer-co-glory-is-goldenbock/3575781
- ABV: 6%
- IBU: 30
- Notes: Glory is a destination for those who follow the gospel. It gives a hearkened voice to the apostles of beverage, those who remind us that taste is an amalgamation of tradition and revival. So we got together with our friends down on the river at Zilicoah Beer Co., to forge an often drinkable, yet full-flavored lager. Inspired by the Hellesbock-styled golden lagers of Germany, we decided to tip a hat to the regional American brewers that breathed new life into those styles in the new world. Glory Is was made from German barley, noble hops, and forged through a full decoction before lagering to crystalline perfection. Fully aged. Never Sacrificed.
