With Derek Gallanosa recently joining as their head brewer, CVB has unveiled a brand-new lineup of beers you won’t want to miss. Derek will be on site to chat and share the stories behind the beers.
Bottle Share
Nothing beats a good ol’ bottle share. Friends gathered around a table, each pulling something special from the cellar, eager to pour and taste what everyone else brought. It’s simple, generous, and full of discovery, the heart of what made beer culture so fun, and we don’t do it enough anymore.
We want to bring that spirit back more regularly, so we’re starting up a quarterly bottle shares at Bock.
Dig deep into your stash (you know it’s time), bring a bottle or two to share, and let’s open some memories together.
First Friday Stichfaß
Every first Friday in 2026 we’ll be tapping a unique Stichfaß cask at 5pm!

Keep the Stein: Weihenstephaner
Founded in 1040, Weihenstephaner is widely regarded as the oldest continuously operating brewery in the world. What began as a Benedictine monastery brewery in Bavaria has become one of Germany’s most respected producers of classic styles including classic Hefeweissbier, Dunkel, Festbier, and beyond. Nearly a thousand years later, they’re still brewing with the same focus on purity, balance, and tradition that made them legendary.
Perfect beer for the day after Thanksgiving: rich history, easy drinking, and a stein worth taking home.

Join us Wednesday, November 13th starting at 5pm as we feature a lineup from one of California’s most consistently impressive breweries. Founded in 2014 in Monterey by J.C. Hill and his family, Alvarado Street has earned national recognition for its expressive hop-forward beers, crisp lagers, and boundary-pushing barrel-aged releases.
Drink About Beer Bus
DrinkAbout started way back in the 2010 pre-rideshare era as a way to connect neighborhood beer spots in a safe and social way. Over the years stops on the route included Blind Lady Ale House, Small Bar, Live Wire, Ritual, Sea Rocket, Station, Tiger!Tiger!, Toronado and Hamiltons. 15 years later a lot has changed for sure!
This year DrinkAbout is back for one night only as a part of the San Diego Beer Week!
Bottle Share
Back in the golden days of craft beer, nothing beat a good old bottle share. Friends gathered around a table, each pulling something special from the cellar, eager to pour and taste what everyone else had been saving. It was simple, generous, and full of discovery, the heart of what made beer culture so fun. We’re bringing that spirit back for SD Beer Week. Dig deep into your stash (you know it’s time), bring a bottle or two to share, and let’s open some memories together.
Brewery Spotlight: Highland Park Brewery
Kick off San Diego Beer Week with a Brewery Spotlight featuring one of our favorite domestic breweries: Highland Park!

Oktoberfest
Oktoberfest at Bock
This year will be our very first Oktoberfest at Bock and we couldn’t be more excited to celebrate it with the neighborhood! From September 19 to October 4 we’ll be raising steins, pouring beers from the legends of Munich alongside a few from the new world, and filling the bar with music, festive decor, and plenty of good cheer. Our friends at Biersal will be cooking hearty German plates to keep you going all season long.
Each weekend will feel like stepping into a different tent at Oktoberfest. One week it’s Paulaner, the next it’s Hofbräu, then Hacker-Pschorr to close it out. Every stop brings its own beer, food, and atmosphere, along with some friendly competition in the form of stein-holding contests.
We also made limited Bock Oktoberfest steins and shirts so you can take home a piece of the season. It’s our first Oktoberfest, it’s your new neighborhood bar, and we’d love for you to be part of it.
