Bock refers to a style of German beer, usually a lager, that dates back to the 14th century. There are several types of Bock beer (Maibock, Doppelbock, Eisbock, and Weizenbock) with varying strengths and flavor profiles. Generally, Bocks are known for their malty and sweet taste, offering a relatively high alcohol content while remaining mildly bitter. Historically, Bavarian monks would consume Bocks during times of fasting, and some uphold the tradition today. 

In the present day, there are Bock beer festivals held globally, generally to celebrate the beginning of Spring. The most notable one of these festivals in the United States is Bockfest in Cincinnati, Ohio, held annually in the first weekend of March. Attendees can spectate a parade, participate in the Bockfest 5K, or become that year's "Sausage Queen" through winning a series of games.
