Heidrun was the mythical goat who stood atop Valhalla, the vast hall of Odin, the Germanic god. Bock beer originated in the Northern Germanic city of Einbeck, which was a brewing centre and popular exporter in the days of the Hanseatic League. As the beer became popular in Bavaria, the term ‘ein-beck’ was pronounced ‘ein-bock’ which popularly translates as ‘Billy Goat’, inspiring the commonly used symbolism of bock beers.
Heidrun, a robust German lager beer, highlights the finest attributes of continental malts. It offers a subtly toasted flavor complemented by a smooth and creamy mouthfeel. Pouring a stunning deep-red colour, and topped with a thick, off-white head, this is a top pick for Oktoberfest!
