THE BOCK HOG

Harpoon Brewery and WhistlePig Rye Whiskey have released their second collaboration brew: The Bock Hog. Harpoon’s Doppelbock – a strong, flavorful, malty lager – is conditioned in Spanish Oak and South American Teakwood barrels that previously housed WhistlePig’s The Boss Hog VII: Magellan’s Atlantic. With the base notes of the Doppelbock including toasted rye, toffee, rum raisin, and cacao, the barrels add complexity with top notes like holiday spice, roasted nuts, vanilla, and char. 9% ABV. Packaged in individual 22 ounce bottles sealed with wax coating. Suggested retail is $15 per bottle. AVAILABLE FROM Atlas Distributing, Burke Distributing, Horizon Beverage, Merrimack Valley Distributing and Girardi Distributors.
