Reading the "beer talk" segment of The Lodge (Leinenkugel's newsletter) and it mentions that Leinie's used to make a bock only for the Lenten season. Then in the "Leinie's Quality Corner" they said that bock beers were made historically by German monks as liquid bread for their Lenten fast. I didn't know that, but I find it really interesting. I wonder how many other "church" beers there are?
