"Bock is a type of beer that is a strong lager with a significant malt character and minimal hop bitterness. It is brewed with lager yeast and fermented and conditioned at lower temperatures for extended periods of time, a process known as "lagering". Bock beers are typically dark amber to dark brown in color and have a smooth, deep maltiness. "

I'll show myself out...
Yes, bock is originally German, but it has become very popular over here in the Netherlands as well. It is mainly seasonal, more particularly an autumn beer. It is the first brew of the new barley harvest, or at least that is what the marketeers want us to believe. Most important is that it tastes good.

I was looking over this postal card from Young America, Carver County, Minnesota, USA. You don't often see a socked-on-nose cancel on a postal card.

But then I flipped it over and it got even more fun:

It turns out the postcard was preprinted with an address on it because it was intended to be used to order beer.
I am not sure if the person buying the beer was the owner of a tavern or just ordering for his/her own personal use.
The note below says, I think, "If you have any back in bottles send 1 case of the ??? ??? and the case pints on back." I think he is asking that if they have beer in individual bottles, send a case of that and cancel my order for a case of pints.
If you can figure out the name of the writer and/or decipher the full message I would love to learn it.
