Zito’s Beer of the Week: Toasted Bock
Sitting back, I twisted the top off, and on the first sip, I was surprised. It was smooth and refreshing. I felt like I was enjoying one of the traditional beers. This had a holiday vibe for a seasonal beer without having to blast me with Pumpkin or wintergreen. It was pretty filling, in fact, too. Kicking back the 6 pack, I felt my money was well spent. In the end, I was relaxed and ready to buy another box. All this being said, it gets the Chug It!

Leinenkugel’s Toasted Bock is a name so hard to say that you know you have had enough when you can pronounce it right. Or if you can pronounce it right, you need more. Not sure we don’t make the rules up. Regardless this beer is said to be a refreshing take on a traditional. They mixed the ingredients of Germany and American to make what could be considered a perfect beer. That’s what the guy behind the counter described to me when I bought it. He wasn’t far off; I will give him that.
