For the lovers of Bock

Many Bockbieranstiche are not part of the list, p.e. the Hummel Leonardi Bock or the Hölzlein Bock from the brewery Hölzlein in Lohndorf etc. We (Café Abseits) will tap these both bock beers and I have to call for for the dates to make our plan of the bock beers we will tap. The reasons are: - It is difficult to get the dates (good work of Markus Raupach and his guys to do this for bierkeller.de). You have to call. Only few breweries post this dates on their websites. - Some breweries fear the crowd and hesitate to publish the date. They only inform their regular guests (maybe with wallpapers). - Some breweries doesn't offer an official Bockbieranstich. So the Heller-Bräu (Schlenkerla) makes a Bockbieranstich of the Schlenkerla Urbock, but not with the Schlenkerla Eiche. They start with the tapping in their brewpub (1st Advent) without an event.
