Seasonal Brews

Watch the news and events section for seasonal beer launch dates and special events.

	Spring - Fruehbock Spring - Frueh Bock (pron. "Froo Bock") - Literally "Early" Bock, Frueh is also short for Fruehling which is the German word for Spring.  This deep golden Bock lager is malty sweet with a touch of fruity, almost citrusy notes that linger on the palate.  And although  this Helles Bock/Maibock-style beer has a higher alcohol content, it is not at all obvious to the taste.  More than a month of lagering results in a very smooth character.  Frueh is the perfect beer for those transitional days where the cold winds of winter are still battling it out with the warm breezes of spring.  6.0% ABV.
	Summer - Captain James Jack Pilsner Summer - Captain James Jack Pilsner - OMB developed this smooth, refreshing pilsner beer as our salute to the spirit, courage and resolve of Captain Jack and the members of the Mecklenburg Convention (see www.May20thSociety.org for more information). A classic northern German "Pils", this straw-colored lager is smooth, with a subtle yet assertive hoppiness that doesn't overwhelm your palate or the beer's malt backbone. A perfect summer refresher.  4.8% ABV.
	Fall - Mecktoberfest Maerzen style amber lager Fall - Mecktoberfest - A classic Maerzen style amber lager.  The original Oktoberfest Bier and quintessential Ueberseasonal.  Rich and malty up front, which transitions to a smooth, satisfying finish courtesy of the noble Bavarian hops and a flavor profile produced by an outstanding  yeast strain from the oldest brewery in the world.  If there were a season for beer, fall would be it.  And for beer season, nothing beats Mecktoberfest!  5.4% ABV.
	Thanksgiving - Bauern Bock Thanksgiving - Bauern Bock - This holiday "Farmer's Bock", or Country Bock as we like to call it, will be sure to instill the harvest season spirit in you.  A German-style doppelbock lager, Bauern Bock is rich and malty with a deep amber color to match the changing colors of the fall season.  It is also OMB's "biggest" beer at 7.5% ABV.   A great compliment to your Thanksgiving Day menu.
	Winter - Dunkel (dark) Lager Winter - Dunkel - Dunkel is a Munich-style dark winter lager.  Smooth, with a roasted malt flavor courtesy of Dark munich and Carafa malts, Dunkel will please your palette as it warms your spirit.  It could be the perfect answer to a dark, cold winter's day.  If you're looking for a beer that has substantial body and flavor, yet remains very smooth and easy drinking, choose Dunkel.  4.9% ABV.
	Christmas - Yule Bock Christmas - Yule Bock - This holiday treat is an authentic German-style "Weihnachtsbockbock" (Christmas Bock).  Its deep amber color with just a hint of holiday crimson is derived from a select combination of premium European barley malts.  Noble hops provide just the right balance for its pronounced malty character.  This full-bodied, malty, smooth winter lager will provide a touch of warmth to contrast the cold winter weather.  Enjoy it with friends and family this holiday season.  6.5% ABV.
