    Das Bock is New York’s Original Lager Festival featuring more than 45 breweries from New York State. Craft beers of all styles were poured, with a focus on traditional bock beers and lagers at the Plattduetsche Park Restaurant. Attendees got entry to the festival, a commemorative bier stein, and tasting tickets for sampling and full-size pours. Here are some of the best beers from Das Bock.

    Sucker for Stouts

    Bay Shore’s Take Two Brewery poured Big D’s Oatmeal Milk Stout, a smooth and sweet stout with hints of chocolate and coffee with a 5.5% abv. This beer won first place at the HHCBC Club Competition and is the perfect stout to sip on a rainy spring day. 
     
    Gluten-Free Goals
    WA Meadworks from Lindenhurst poured Mininact, a mead made with wildflower honey with NYS black currants for a dark, tart and refreshing drink.
