Tap Takeover: Highland Park
Highland Park Brewery Spotlight at Bock
Thursday, November 12
San Diego Beer Week continues with a spotlight on Highland Park Brewery!
Founded in Los Angeles in 2014, Highland Park has built its reputation on crisp lagers and expressive IPAs, including Timbo Pils, a beer that helped put West Coast pilsners on the map.
On the taps:
Timbo Pils: West Coast pils dry-hopped with Mosaic and Citra.
Pleasant Pils: Italian-style pils with floral hop aromas and a snappy, bitter finish.
Rattlesnake Wit: Belgian-style wheat beer with citrus peel and coriander.
Baseball Lager: Crisp American lager with subtle herbal and lemony hop notes.
West Coast IPA Is Dead: West Coast IPA brewed in collaboration with Green Cheek.
DDH Pappy: Double dry-hopped West Coast IPA with Nelson Sauvin and Mosaic.
DDH Pillow: Hazy double IPA loaded with Citra, Mosaic, and their Cryo counterparts.
Shared Scenery: A new collaboration with San Diego’s North Park Beer Co., brewed for Beer Week.
Hello, LA: West Coast IPA with Mosaic and Citra, bringing tropical fruit, tangerine, and a little dankness.
Join us Thursday, November 12, to explore the lineup. See you at the bar! 21+.
Brewery Spotlight: Chuckanut
Brewery Spotlight: Chuckanut Brewery
Thursday, October 22
Chuckanut is one of those breweries we keep coming back to because they make deceptively simple beer very, very well. For this Brewery Spotlight, we’re putting together a small four-beer menu that looks pretty similar on paper: pale, crisp, refreshing beer. But drink them side by side and the differences start to become the interesting part. The pleasure is in the details: bitterness, malt character, fermentation, hops, body and finish.
The Beers
Chuckanut Pilsner
The classic starting point. Chuckanut’s Bohemian-style Pilsner is cold fermented and aged for an extended period, with a dry, floral and snappy profile.
Highland Park Collab West Coast Pils
Japanese Style Lager
Lighter and more delicate, brewed with rice flakes for a leaner body and dry finish. Noble hops keep it crisp without overwhelming the beer.
Kölsch
Technically an ale rather than a lager, but designed with the same kind of restraint. Chuckanut’s version is light-bodied, gently malty and dry, giving us another way to look at how fermentation changes a pale, refreshing beer.
Four beers. Four different approaches to balance.
Come taste through them side by side and see which details stand out to you.
Tap Takeover: Geen Cheek
Green Cheek Spotlight at Bock
Saturday, November 7 | Starting at 5pm
Green Cheek is back at Bock for San Diego Beer Week!
Founded in 2017, the Southern California brewery is known for its hop-forward IPAs and carefully brewed lagers. This lineup gives us plenty of both, alongside a nitro dark mild, mixed-culture sour, and chai-spiced seltzer.
On the taps:
Thinking With My Face: Double dry-hopped hazy double IPA.
Happily Deceased: Returning Green Cheek favorite.
West Coast IPA Is Dead ’26: DDH West Coast IPA with Mosaic, Simcoe, Nelson, and Krush.
Color Green: West Coast pale ale. Previously listed as Every Color In Green, featuring Riwaka, Tropical Fusion, Mosaic Cryo, and Nectaron Cryo.
DDH Nelson West Coast Pils: Double dry-hopped West Coast pilsner showcasing Nelson hops.
American Helles: Helles-style lager brewed with California barley and Oregon-grown Hallertau.
Morale: Czech-style pilsner brewed with floor-malted barley and Saaz hops, available on draft and from a traditional Stichfaß gravity keg.
Like A Million Suns: DDH hazy IPA with Citra and Simcoe.
Date Night: English-style dark mild served on nitro.
Calamansi Sour: Fruited sour featuring calamansi citrus.
Chai Seltzer: Chai-spiced hard seltzer.
Come explore the lineup with us. Saturday, November 7, starting at 5pm. 21+.
Brewery Spotlight: Waldhaus
Waldhaus Brewery Spotlight:
Our San Diego Beer Week Kickoff
Friday, November 6 at Bock
We’re kicking off San Diego Beer Week with a first for California: Waldhaus on draft.
Founded in 1833 in Germany’s Black Forest, Waldhaus has been owned by the Schmid family since 1894. Their longstanding philosophy puts quality ahead of size, with an approach to brewing that includes whole cone hops and water from their own Black Forest springs.
Our importer considers them one of Germany’s best breweries, and Bock will be the first place in California to serve their beers on draft. We’re excited to introduce them to San Diego.
We’ll have six on tap:
• Hefeweizen
• Dunkel Naturtrüb
• Diplom Pils
• Ohne Filter
• Herb
• Spezial Gold
Sharing discoveries like this is a big part of what we love about Bock, and a fitting way to kick off our second San Diego Beer Week.
Join us Friday, November 6 for our Waldhaus Brewery Spotlight and help give them a proper California welcome.
Rothaus Keep-The-Stein
Rothaus Keep the Stein: Thursday, October 15
Rothaus has been a staff favorite around here for a long time.
Brewed in Germany’s Black Forest, Rothaus is best known for its crisp, beautifully balanced Pils, but we’ll also have their Märzen pouring Thursday night.
Starting at 5pm, we’ll have a limited number of Rothaus steins available to take home while they last.
Rothaus Pils + Märzen on draft.
Thursday, October 15 at 5pm.
South Park Fall Walkabout
The South Park Fall Walkabout is back this Saturday, with shops, restaurants, bars and neighbors filling the streets throughout the neighborhood.
We’ll be celebrating at Bock all day as part of the final weekend of Bocktoberfest, and from 6–8pm, Good Gravy Street Blues Band will be playing right outside Bock as part of the South Park Fall Walkabout.

Bocktoberfest
B O C K T O B E R F E S T
Our second Oktoberfest at Bock is coming! We’re looking forward to another few weeks of full steins, good food, and celebrating with the neighborhood.
From September 18 to October 4, we’ll be pouring Festbier and Märzen from classic Munich breweries alongside New World favorites. We’ll also have the return of our own Festbier collaboration with Seek Brewing.
This year, our friends at Kurz will be in the kitchen with German beer hall classics and hearty specials to go with whatever’s in your stein.
We’re also bringing a little bit of the Oktoberfest tent experience to Bock, with each weekend taking inspiration from a different Munich favorite. More details are still coming together, but expect festive music, decor with help from @native_poppy, and plenty of stein-holding contests along the way.
Mark your calendars, bring some friends, and come raise a glass with us!
🍺 Ein Prosit der Gemütlichkeit!
Kölsch Weekend
Kölsch Weekend is back for year two.
We love Kölsch. It’s one of those styles that feels simple until you really start paying attention to it. Light, crisp, dry, refreshing, and built for drinking a few glasses with friends. And with San Diego still very much in summer mode, it feels like a pretty good time to celebrate it.
All weekend we’ll be pouring Kölsch from Cologne, including Reissdorf, Gaffel, and Früh, alongside versions from Everywhere Beer Co. and Seek Beer Co.
Happy hour pricing on kranz all weekend.
September 11–13 at Bock.
Faẞ Friday
On the first Friday of every month, we tap a stichfaß and pour it straight from the cask. This month, we’re pouring Schlenkerla Grodziskie.
Also known historically as Grätzer, Grodziskie is an old Polish beer style from Grodzisk Wielkopolski, traditionally brewed with oak-smoked wheat malt.
It’s a very different kind of smoked beer from the darker, maltier Rauchbier Schlenkerla is famous for. Grodziskie is pale, dry, highly carbonated, low in alcohol and firmly bitter, with a lighter, woody smoke character.
Basically, a crisp little smoked wheat beer with a few hundred years of history behind it.
We’ll tap the stichfaß at 5pm tomorrow.
$6 pints until it’s gone.
Come drink some weird old beer with us. 🍺
Underberg Anniversary Party
Underberg has become a bit of a ritual at Bock. One little bottle, usually followed by a few more making their way around the table.
Underberg first made its way to America in 1860, and this Saturday we’re celebrating 166 years of ’bergs in the States.
Beer, raffles, plenty of Underberg and some anniversary fun from 6–10pm.
See you Saturday.
Andechs Keep-The-Stein
Andechs has been brewing beer at its Benedictine monastery on Bavaria’s Holy Mountain since 1455. Nearly six centuries of Bavarian brewing tradition, and this Friday we’ll have six of their beers on draught.
Bergbock, Helles, Spezial Festbier, Hell Hefeweissbier, Doppelbock Dunkel and Dunkelweiss.
Starting at 5, grab an Andechs beer in a ceramic stein and the stein is yours to keep. We have 60.
Brewery Spotlight: pFriem
pFriem Brewery Spotlight tonight.
We’ve got 10 beers from pFriem Family Brewers pouring across the boards, from hazy and West Coast IPA to lager, pilsner and some really special wild and fruit-fermented beers.

West Coast IPA: Crisp and bright with tangerine, strawberry, grapefruit and resin.

A pretty good cross section of what makes pFriem one of our favorite breweries to bring in.

We’re kicking things off Thursday, July 23 with Smoked Beer Preservation Day, then riding straight through the weekend with BBQ, Texas breweries on draught, Shiner Bock, and enough honky tonk energy to make your boots move.
Cowboy hats, big belt buckles, denim, pearl snaps, boots, bolo ties…all of it encouraged.
Cold beer. BBQ. Country music. Honky tonk vibes.
Smoked Beer Preservation Day
SMOKED BEER PRESERVATION DAY 🔥🍺
This Thursday, July 23, we’re celebrating a smoked-beer tradition more than 500 years old with seven rauchbiers on draught.
Before modern smoke-free kilns, malt was dried over open fires, naturally carrying smoke into the finished beer. Most breweries eventually left that flavor behind, but a handful kept the tradition alive.
ON DRAUGHT:
Brauerei Eichhorn Rauchbier: A classic Bamberg-style smoked lager.
Freigeist Bierkultur Grätzer: A revival of a historic Polish style brewed with 100% smoked wheat malt. Just 3.3%, but packed with character and 60 IBUs from Polish hops.
Brauerei-Gasthof Kundmüller Weiherer Rauch: A classic Franconian smoked beer from the countryside surrounding Bamberg.
Brauerei Rittmayer Rauchbier: A traditional Franconian rauchbier balancing smoke, malt and easy drinkability.
Brauerei Spezial Lager: An elegant, rustic and highly drinkable smoked lager from a Bamberg brewery founded in 1536. Spezial is one of the few breweries that never stopped smoking its own malt.
Brauerei Spezial Märzen: A darker, stronger and fuller-bodied beer with a deeper, more complex smoke profile.
Aecht Schlenkerla Lentbeer: An unfiltered, reddish-brown smoked lager from Bamberg’s historic Schlenkerla brewery, with rich malt, gentle bitterness and plenty of smoke.
Come drink more than 500 years of brewing history!
