Rounding out our trio of Winter beers is a lager filled with Carolina grown malt. The maltsters are name checked on the label of Winter Bock from Hi-Wire Brewing.
Distance Christmas Beer # 20 – Winter Bock from Hi-Wire
2018 Holiday Beer # 3 – Winter Bock from KC Bier
We head to Kansas City for our next holiday beer, a bock from KC Bier Co. a German influenced brewery, who describe the beer as “a strong Doppelbock-style bier with complex, rich malt flavors of chocolate and coffee, hints of caramel and molasses, low bitterness and a satisfyingly sooth finish. Its dark brown color comes from generous portions of amber Munich malt, smaller amounts of specialty malts and double decoction, which contribute a full body and warming alcohols to sustain drinkers throughout the winter season.”

The Details
“The weather outside may be frightful, so stay indoors & drink beer! Winter Bock’s blend of five different German and domestic malts lend a deep, rich color and mild roast character to this classic winter lager.
Just as old world brewers aged their beer in snow-covered cellars, SilverCity stores Winter Bock for five weeks at near freezing temperatures. Cold conditioning makes Winter Bock the smoothest, most flavorful way we know to celebrate the winter season.”
