Ziegenbock is an amber ale brewed by Anheuser-Busch

Ziegenbock is an imitation craft brew marketed under Anheuser-Busch's ICS (Import - Craft - Specialty) brand, positioned as a Texan beer to compete with Shiner Bock.

A Traditional Bock typically has an ABV range of 6.3 - 7.2%, where Ziegenbock is 4% (Shiner Bock is 4.4%; Amber Bock slightly truer in this respect at 5.2%.)

sponsored by Ziegenbock and its parent company, Anheuser-Busch. Ziegfest typically features "red-dirt" musicians. There are typically several venues with the events scheduled around a month apart.
