The first series of beers I'll talk about here are all for a national competition called the BrewUnited Challenge. The crux of the challenge that there are only 4 grains and 6 hops you can use. Each recipe must contain all 4 grains and only 2 of the 6 hops. There are three categories Malty, Balanced, and Hoppy, all with a handful of specific styles within each category. For the competition, I decided to brew a traditional bock, a blonde ale, and an amber ale. Judging by the title of the blog post, you probably guessed that this post will deal with my take on the traditional bock using the constraints of the competition and you'd be 100% right.
