History

Three guys with over 70 years of brewing knowledge getting together to make Beer better. Chip, Conor and Shawn are gearing up to start full production of Bay State Beer Co. We currently are brewing small runs in a Massachusetts basement brewery in Sturleicesterville, MA and have product available in keg and 6 packs. 

Great Beer should be interesting, inviting and refreshing - both distinctive and drinkable. Our mission is to make Great Beer!

A New World Classic, Bay State's Mai Bock is a big bright golden malty lager. Easy drinking and warming with substantial body and mouth feel and just a hint of sweetness. Made from generous amounts of Pilsner and Vienna malts, Bohemian hops and Bavarian lager yeast.

What to expect:

Pour: Poured a golden yellow with a very small white head that disappeared very quickly and left slight traces of lace on the walls of the glass.

Aroma: Grassy and slightly hoppy aromas, as well as some slightly sweet malt. Has the aroma of Spring in the background.

Smell: Sweet and malty in a grainy way, rather sweet. A sharper, yeasty note and a little spice is there as well. Alcohol is evident too.

Taste: Proof that a beer of nearly 8% alcohol by volume can actually be refreshing. Lots of bready, dusty German malt flavor balanced with just enough hop bitterness and flavors of lemon and herbs, with plenty of peppery alcohol in the finish.

Mouth Feel: Light to medium bodied and lightly carbonated, very smooth to drink.

Drinkability: This isn't what I expected from a Mai Bock, but it was definitely a drinkable, easy to like beer.  Reminded me of Spaten's Mai Bock.
