With a host of great beers on tap, Barcade will be showcasing “Bockbier [which] originated at the Einbeck Brewery in Bavaria in the 1600s and its name allegedly came from Germans in Munich misunderstanding the brewery name, which when spoken with a thick Bavarian accent sounded like “Ein Bock” or “Billy Goat”!.
