Narragansett Beer has announced the seasonal release of its spring craft brew, Narragansett Bock. Distributed throughout New England at leading package stores, bars, and restaurants, Bock will be available on draught and for the first time, in 16 oz tallboy cans.
Narragansett Bock is brewed under the supervision of award-winning brewmaster Sean Larkin at Trinity Brew House in Providence, Rhode Island and Cottrell Brewery in Pawcatuck, Connecticut with light and dark Munich malts, Pilsner malt, maltead wheat, and hopped with northern brewers and Hallertau hops. Narragansett Bock is 6.5% alcohol by volume and 32 IBUs.
Narragansett Bock originally debuted in the 1930s after the repeal of Prohibition. Its popularity grew quickly due in large part to the annual Bock Beer Festivals held on the brewery’s grounds each spring. Many believe the brew’s name originates fromo the abundance of billy goats that descended from the mountains in spring when the beer was brewed, while others claim that the term was used metaphorically to reference the strength of the beer.
