| Butt Head Bock Lager German Style Bock Beer Tommyknocker Brewery & Pub Idaho Springs, CO I celebrated filling up my beer cap map with this bock on 5/17/15. Facts off the label: 8.2% ALC/VOL IBU 33 A big malty traditional German style bock beer Colorado Mountain Town Craft Beer Tommyknocker has been creating quality lagers and ales in the Colorado Rocky Mountains since 1994. Tommyknocker legend: Tommyknockers slipped into the mining camps of Idaho Springs in the 1800's with the discovery of gold in our mountains and streams. These mischievous elves, though hardly ever seen, were often heard singing and working. They guided many fortunate miners from harm's way and to the gold they sought. Best by: May 18 15 My input: Although I drank this past the best by date, it tasted fine to me. |
