Chudley Cannons Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 I thought it was easy to.. DING for Chudley.. Following on from my comment about Kolsch which for the uninitiated is a style of beer only brewed in the city of Cologne, here's a question about beer. Bock, Maibock, Doppelbock and Eisbock are styles of dark lager. What would you expect to see depicted on the label of these beers? Quote Link to comment

+careygang Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 How about in the year 1243, something must have happened (the Mongols were rampaging around Aisa in 13th Century), though not many people will have heard about it as it was the latter part of Middle Ages... The others are all dates in the future, so we don't know about them yet? Quote Link to comment
