Fort Collins, Colo. — The Fort Collins Brewery, along with Gravity 1020 Modern Tavern is excited to announce the seasonal release of Maibock for the 10th consecutive year on Tuesday.

A gold medal winner at BTI World Beer Championships in 2013, Maibock features a smooth malty flavor attained from the richness of Munich malts that finishes with a gentle warming sweetness. Toffee notes and understated hop bitterness round out the bock experience. Maibock is brewed in the fall, aged in the winter and celebrated in the spring.

  • ABV: 6.4%
  • SRM: 22
  • IBU: 34

To celebrate the release of Maibock, FCB is hosting a Goat Cheese-making class and Maibock Pairing Dinner in their Community Room on Friday. The class option, which runs from 5:30 – 6:30 p.m., is $35 per ticket. The class and dinner pairing option, dinner served at 7 p.m., is $75 per ticket. To RSVP, call 970-472-1499 or email rsvp@fortcollinsbrewery.com. The event is limited to the first 25 RSVPs, and a credit card is needed to hold the reservation.

The availability for Maibock is March – June and the seasonal brew is packaged in 22 oz. bottles, and on draft. The gold medal winner received its first gold medal at the US Open Beer Championships in 2011.

“Maibock, in the early years named Spring Bock, has been around since the beginning and it holds a special place in the FCB brand. We get pretty excited to release it each spring, its definitely a fan favorite,” said FCB’s Marketing and PR Coordinator, Kaylee Kulich.
