“Here’s a Tuesday bonus, folks — for sale today on eBay is this Sebewaing Brewing Company Bock Beer bottle. I don’t ever remember seeing this style before, but I do remember a more colorful version (which is on file here in our old pictures.)
Bock Beers began as German lager style beverages often brewed as the first beer of spring. There’s even a big Bockfest in Cincinatti each year. Does anyone know more about this bottle style?”
Here are the comments from the post:
Scott M. Thede I am noticing the blue pheasant cap on the top of this bottle. I wonder if this is what they did before they used the Sebewaing blue label with “Bock Beer” printed in red as in the
photo I just added? Does anyone know? Did someone add the blue cap on top to make it look more complete? I believe there were three colors of bock caps so the blue pheasant cap does not seem likely.
William Harder That bottle is a fake it would have a duck cap or bock it’s the first bock beer label notice they didn’t show the bottom
William Harder Also that labels are before the 1950s
William Harder I seen a green ram to
Bob Fournier Would say it’s wrong cap
Scott M. Thede Thank you William and Bob for the responses.
Thank you to Mark W. Rummel for this post and all of those who took the time to comment in Facebook.
