Try a Gordon Biersch Maibock!

March 16, 2010 by Kathleen

Gordon Biersch Brewing Company has released the long-awaited first brew of the seasonal “Maibock” beer. Literally translated from German, Maibock means “the beer of May,” and is the newest of Gordon Biersch’s four seasonal brews. The beer achieves a richy, malty flavor from dark-roasted caramel malt, and was originally brewed in Einbeck, Germany during the 14th century. It became such a favorite in Bavaria that a brewer from Einbeck was persuaded to move to Bavaria to brew the beer, and it was popularized from there.
