We keep our events simple, informative and just plain fun. No hot pokers in your beer, no foot races, no release parties for the next beer we put peanut butter in, just 'to the point' galas. Our wine seminar's are usually taught by people with 30+ years of experience, our Sunday beer flights will feature beers you won't be able to taste elsewhere and our weekend wine flights are like mini wine classes at your leasure. We do 4-5 mini-beer festivals a year (usually on Sunday) that are major bashes; our Trappist Festival features 18 different Trappist beers, our Bockfest features every great Doppelbock from Bavaria (many from monasteries), September is Octoberfest month, and we usually feature 10-12 rare Bavarian festbiers you also won't fine elsewhere for the entire month. Stay tuned, we will try and post far enough in advance to help you plan ahead.
The holiday beers seem to come earlier and earlier every year. We received our allocation of Samuel Smith's Winter Welcome in September this year, and another shipment leaves the West Coast next week. No one in the Midwest has as enormous of a selection of Christmas and Holiday beers as the Yoerg Brewing Company (we'll have our iconic 'Yoerg's Strong' after Thanksgiving). We will have at least a couple of flights scheduled when we know more exacting delivery dates. Some fun new additions this year so prepare yourself for a holiday full of rich, rich, rich beers.
WHAT: Yoerg's Bockfest 2026
Sunday, February 22nd: 12:00pm to 6:00pm
Our annual Bockfest is one of our most treasured festivals. We bring in a boatload of Spring's famous Beer brewed for lent from all over Europe. We have Doppelbocks from three different Monasteries in Bavaria and wonderful Bocks and Doppelbocks from Austria, Croatia aside from all over the rest of Germany. We will also have Yoerg's famous Bock Beer (Blue Ribbon Champion in 1895 World Beer Championship in London) and Yoerg's historic 'Strong', a splendid German-styled Doppelbock brewed for over 100 years. Some new surprises will be offered as well. Another 'not-miss' at Yoerg's.
