I'm not a pirate expert, but I will say a Bock is a style of Lager that requires lower temperatures to brew, and lower temperatures to best maintain. As such, for sailors and especially pirates, a Triple Bock wouldn't be the most feasible choice to take while traveling the seas.
The India Pale Ale style would be better, indeed, any actual ale in particular that can be enjoyed at higher temperatures.
Rum is the most obvious next
But Gin is also likely to be used to help combat against scurvy, ye barnacle.

In May I was on a beer testing at a local small brewery. They explained there that the difference between lager and ale is the temperature - ale is brewed in rather warm temperatures, and lager in cold. Do you mean that Bock is brewed in even colder?

Yeah, I know the tradition (and the proper quote) is rum... but my principle character on FRC is a dwarf. *casts Endure Elements on the cask of Triple Bock to help preserve it* Edit... oh, and I ran into some Malarite pirates of the High Hunt near Dhedluk, who had with them the dreaded Beast of Aaarrrggh (sp?). Fortunately I was able to deal with it without the animator having a medical emergency.  They could have had Triple Bock instead of rum... |

I was generalizing the temperature expression since a Bock is a lager. Lagers do need to be fermented at lower temperatures, so yes, that is true about lagers. Whether Bock specifically is even less, I wouldn't actually know off-hand, nor would I be surprised if a lower temperature is needed. But since I do not actively brew I just don't need to memorize that at the moment. It comes to no surprise to read that Bock is one of many substyles of the Lager line. Ale vs. Lager: each of these have numerous substyle categories within them. My favorite type of Lager is a German Maibock, and one particular brand is called Samichlaus. www.beeradvocate.com/beer/styles/33/ and www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/285/39766/For none beer drinkers, I like to compare Ale vs. Lager as simplistically-down, to White vs. Red wines. We all know there are white and red wines, but each venue therein has substyles. etc..etc... Thirsty pirates with a (very spoiled) priestess of Umberlee, may have a priestess wise enough to preserve triple bocks ...  |
