Weiherer Bock

Tap to rate

Weiherer has been brewing in Franconia since 1784, and their Bock is a masterclass in the style's malty warmth. Rich golden-amber pour with a full, almost creamy body — dark bread, honey, and subtle caramel malt lead, while the 25 IBU sits quietly in the background. Smooth and gently warming, it's the beer to reach for when you want comfort without heaviness.

Sweet, malty entry with pronounced caramel and bread flavors building through the mid-palate, supported by the beer's natural fullness.
