### Beer News
# The Big Freeze: Icebock 24
Our annual release of the UK's first Eisbock is the highlight of the season and this year we have **THREE**! And trust us, you’ll want to get your hands (and taste buds) on these.
We have thrice the fun this time round and each one is deliciously unique:
- **Icebock 24** (The OG)
- **Pillars x Wood Street Coffee Coffeebock**
- **Pillars x East London Liquor Company Barrel-Aged Icebock**
### The Pillars Icebock Story
A little backstory for the uninitiated: Our Icebock isn’t just any lager—it’s a labour of love that starts brewing at the beginning of the year, and then hibernates for nine months. We use **freeze-concentration** to lock in intense, rich flavours that’ll have you savouring every sip. You can read more about the mastery that goes into brewing Icebock [here](https://blog.pillarsbrewery.com/the-icebock-experience-the-uks-first-eisbock).
The awards speak for themselves. This brew has scooped up:
**UK’s Best Strong Lager** at the *World Beer Awards 2021*
Two golds at the *2023 World Beer Awards*
**Beer of the Year** at the *2023 London Beer Awards*
And, oh yeah, a shiny **Gold Award ** at the *2024 World Beer Awards*
This year’s releases promise to keep the gold streak going. Ready to meet the Big Three?

### Icebock 24
Our annual Icebock release. The UK’s first Eisbock, born out of a passion for the art and intricacies of lager brewing. Icebock 24 is our nine-month labour of love—a rich, silky lager with caramelised, toast-like notes that’ll have you coming back for more.
**8% ABV | ****Eisbock | ****Freeze-Concentrated Lager**

# Barrel-Aged Icebock
We’ve teamed up once again with the legends at **East London Liquor Company**. If you missed last year’s release, don’t make the same mistake twice—this one was awarded **Beer of the Year** at the *2023 London Beer Awards*! That’s right, it’s kind of a big deal.
This year’s batch has been brewed at Pillars Brewery and barrel-aged for nine months in East London Liquor’s **Rye Whisky Sherry casks**. The result? A rich, full-bodied lager with complex layers of vanilla, toast, and oak.
**8.5% ABV | ****Barrel-Aged Eisbock | ****Freeze-Concentrated Lager**

### Coffeebock
What happens when you combine the best lager with the best coffee? **Coffeebock** happens. We’ve teamed up with our friends at **Wood Street Coffee** to reimagine our award-winning Icebock. Nine months of conditioning, infused with the finest **Brazilian House Espresso**, have produced a real show-stopper.
The result is a rich, full-bodied lager with dried fruit, chocolate and toast-like notes.
**8% ABV | ****Coffee-Infused Eisbock | ****Freeze-Concentrated Lager**
Ready to taste test? You can pick up the new Icebocks directly from our [**online shop**](https://www.pillarsbrewery.com/collections/icebock), or pop by our [**Walthamstow taproom**](https://www.pillarsbrewery.com/pages/venues).
