Sip Some Bock And Pray For Spring! That's the way the Schell Brewery in New Ulm, Minnesota invites you to Bock Fest. Bock Fest 2019 was held at the Schell's Brewery on Saturday, March, 2nd. I attended in the company of my brothers and a few thousand other spring and beer seekers. • In case you didn't know bock is a German term meaning drink beer in the snow . The high for the day was around 9+ degrees. Your beer stayed cold and the bugs weren't bad. When we arrived at the Schell's Brewery grounds we were a bit surprised to see numbers of people that were pouring in. And substantively pouring out. • After we gave them our $10 dollar tickets they let you buy a $20 bucks worth of tickets. 20 tickets for $20 bucks. We weren't sure what these tickets were going to buy, but the nice ticket lady assured me they would come in handy. And they did. • Each Bock Beer was 4 tickets. Seemed like a fair trade to me. I traded a few times. A Bratwurst with Sauerkraut was 4 tickets. This was not as fair of a trade. I only made that mistake once. • We had understood that folks would be searching for the 7 Bocks of Winter that were hiding around the brewery and in the adjacent Flandrau State Park. And if brave festers were to venture out and capture them Old Man Winter would his grip on Minnesota. Word is the 7 Bocks were found. I don't think it's ever going to warm up though. • You can also get your beer “Poked” at Bock Fest. They have a big bonfire with steel pokers in it. There are a half dozen guys hollering to the crowd inquiring if you'd like to have your beer “Poked”? Why wouldn't ya? These guys are very talented. They stuff a red hot steel poker in your beer without melting your plastic glass. They say this process 'caramelizes' your brew. And I found it also makes it taste like an ashtray. Everyone seemed to really enjoy beer pokin'. • The cold didn't bother any of the Bock Festers that I could tell. The beer was flowing and the Polka music was doing, well...whatever Polka music does. Polka music and day-drinking go really well together in Minnesota. • In summary, on a scale of 1 to 5 frosty mugs of beer, I would give the Schell's Brewery Bock Fest “6”. It's a lot of fun and a great way to stick it to Old Man Winter. • If you’re new, Subscribe! -- http://www.youtube.com/subscription_c... • Go Here -- http://mix97-3.com/ • Like Us -- / mix973 • Follow Us -- / mix973sf • Get Our Newsletter -- http://mix97-3.com/registration/
