Joseph Huber Brewing Company - Wikipedia\\
quote:
It is the oldest continually operating brewery in the Midwest and second oldest in the United States.
I haven't encountered Huber Bock in a long time - I'm not even sure it still exists. The brewery seems to have been absorbed by another company.
Anyhow, a
Bock is a dark lager. As best I know, the Huber brewery was a fairly small operation with a fairly small distribution. As the brewery is/was in southern-most Wisconsin, it was probably fortunate that the beer made it to northern Wisconsin and adjacent Minnesota. It may also have been only brewed in certain parts of the year.
Anyhow, back in the day, Huber Bock was pretty much much all the beer I really needed. You could go to the store and it would be both one of the better beers and one of the least expensive stocked. What more could you ask for?
I think that most areas of the U.S. now have micro-breweries producing quality alternatives to the more common window washing solutions. But Huber was the old school alternative of its time.
