Beer Release: Weizenbock

Der Bock is Back! This Thursday, 10/1, we’ll be releasing Riggs Weizenbock.

Just in time for the cooler temperatures that moved into Illinois this week, Riggs Weizenbock is the perfect fit for fall weather.

Weizenbock has a higher ABV, is slightly darker, and has more body than its little brother, Hefeweizen. Weizenbock’s fruity aroma will remind you of Hefeweizen, but due to its higher alcohol content, Weizenbock also has notes of vanilla and rum. The use of Riggs-grown wheat and dark, Munich malt gives this beer a wonderfully bready flavor and aroma. Our wheat beer yeast’s spicy character helps to cut through a mild sweetness to deliver the balanced finish that you’ve come to expect from a Riggs Beer.

For release date, Watson’s Chicken will be here 5-8 pm with a special sandwich: Barvarian Starchild with Riggs Weizenbock Obatzda (Bavarian beer-garden cheese spread), radishes, dill pickles & chives on a brioche bun.
