As with so many beer pages, there are far too many non-notable examples from the US for a style not native to the US. There are hundreds of micros in the states, most of them produce a bock, and they can't all be mentioned. Simply having a wikipedia article for the brewery is not a sufficient indication that a US brewery's bock is notable — it is barely enough to show the brewery itself is notable. 1Z ( talk) 13:44, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
extent. Relying on the BJCP as a single or main source has proven prolematical in the past. 1Z ( talk) 14:22, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
Along these lines, I edited and removed Shiner Bock from the list. Shiner Bock is a Dark American Lager, and is listed as such in the BJCP style guidelines. Not taking anything away from the beer itself, it just isn't a bock. Traditional bocks have significantly more malt complexity and aroma than is present in Shiner Bock. There's no apparent Munich or Vienna malt character to it which is an absolute necessity to the style. It however does fit the style of the Dark American lager very well.-- Palcrypt ( talk) 21:32, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
This list needs pruning too. There really needs to be some indication of notability, eg oldest, largest production volume, awards won. 1Z ( talk) 14:22, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

The article says bocks are lagers (I actually showed up here because I wanted to confirm that fact), but the article contains an image of Aventinus Weizen-Eisbock, and the bottle clearly states that it's an ale. Can someone with more knowledge about this chime in? Lexicon (talk) 21:24, 31 December 2020 (UTC)
The "Dark Doppelbock" described in the eponymous section is complete nonsense. It purports to describe a single example of the Doppelbock style, and not even a particularly noteworthy one, having no historical significance, and only a few awards some years back. The sources given refer to two different beers- the Schwarzbräu Schneeböckchen and Schwarzbräu Aged Bock- both of which are doppelbocks of no particular importance. As far as I can tell, the Schneeböckchen isn't even in production any more!
This section should be deleted outright. If the beers were notable, they could warrant brief mention in the preceding Doppelbock section, but they're just not. I attempted to do so (as an IP edit; I'm only a very occasional editor and almost exclusively for typo fixes, so I never bothered making an account until now), and it was reverted by User:Limited Idea4me and I was warned for vandalism, so I made an account to bring the issue to the talk page.

I have removed an uncited list of Maibock brands. Without citations it appears to be original research and commercial promotion. There is no apparent encyclopedic purpose to such lists. I intend to remove the similar lists for other varieties. Kablammo ( talk) 13:23, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
