Etymology

From German Bockbier, from Bock + Bier (“beer”). The former component is a southern German alteration of Einbeck, a brewery town in Lower Saxony, where the beer originally hails from. The Low German placename suffix -beck (“-brook”) was reinterpreted in southern dialects as the plural of Bock (“buck”).
