As I continue to look forward to spring, I've stumbled upon a Top 10 list of beers to look forward to for the snow-less, flower blooming season.

Let's also talk about one of the styles of beer that makes an appearance or two on that list. It's called Maibock. 

According to the fine folks at the Beer Advocate, the Maibock style of beer tends to be lighter in color than other Bock beers and often has a significant hop character with a noticeable alcohol around the same as a traditional Bock.

Maibocks are customarily served in the spring and are oftentimes interrelated with spring festivals and celebrations more often in the month of May.

That sounds good to me. Time to fire up the grill and get ready to play ball! Of course, this snow has to go away first.
