Bock beer wasn't born in a taproom.
It was brewed by Bavarian monks in the dead of winter.

Rich, dark, and strong enough to sustain them through fasting — bock beer has been a symbol of endurance, craft, and celebration for centuries. Every spring, bock season arrives and steins are raised across Germany and beyond. At our Bock Fest, we honor that tradition with local craft breweries and legendary German imports side by side.

Our signature experience: a red-hot iron poker, pulled glowing from the fire and plunged directly into your bock. The heat caramelizes the malt sugars, creates a smoky foam, and transforms your beer into something entirely different — warmer, richer, and unmistakably dramatic. It's been done in Bavarian taverns for centuries. Now it's your turn.

Bock Fest — where centuries of brewing heritage come alive in Pinellas Park.

Doppelbock

Bold and malty with a smooth, warming finish. A local Tampa Bay craft take on the classic.

One of the world's great Doppelbocks — deep mahogany, rich with toffee and dark fruit, silky smooth.

Deep amber seasonal bock from Germany — full-bodied with caramel sweetness and a clean finish.

Hofbräuhaus München

Maibock

Bright golden spring bock from the legendary Munich royal brewery — crisp, lightly hoppy, and refreshing.

The original Doppelbock — brewed since 1629. Legendary, dark, and deeply satisfying.
