What’s this?  Two Anheuser-Busch beers in one week?

Sometimes that the way it goes.  I met some co-workers for a couple drinks after work at the Red, Hot & Blue down the street.  If you’ve been paying attention, you know that I’m in the middle of my Bock Beer Run.  So what were the chances of the restaurant having a bock beer on hand?  Pretty slim – I was fully expecting to have a bock beer when I got home.

But there in the cooler, right next to the Bud and Bud Light, was Michelob Amber Bock.  It certainly wouldn’t have been my first choice, but it was a bock, and a beer dork’s gotta do what a beer dork’s gotta do.

To its credit, Michelob Amber Bock is brewed with 100 percent malt (no corn or rice).  It was dark like a bock beer should be, but was actually pretty bland.  The head disappeared almost entirely after pouring it.  There was really no distinguishable malt or hop flavor.  But hey, it was only two bucks!
