@pkbites (Peter K. Beitz) posted a new topic, subject "What does KAJ stand for?". It read:

   Mods, I thought this is a General Question, but if it actually belongs in Cafe Society please move it. Thanks!  
    Am drinking a bottle of Berghoff Traditional Bock. Not horrible, but not great either. For a bock it's rather disappointing.
    
    On the neck label there are upper case letters KAJ in a rectangle box.
    
    Huh?

To which @Joey_P (Joey P) replied

    Blasphemy,  
    You're in Wisconsin. In Wisconsin there is only one bock and that bock is New Glarus Uff-Da Bock. One of my favorite bocks in the world.

So @tomndebb (tomndebb) replied

    Any possibility that it is related to the Croatian variety: KAJ?
    
    (It seems unlikeky–at least since I do not associate bocks with more bitter beers–and I do not assocaite Wisconsin with a Croatian immigrant settlement, but it might be a place to start.)

So @Joey_P (Joey P) replied

    Oh, and I did take a look around. Couldn't find anything at Google and Berghoffbeer.com is under construction, but I bet if you went to theberghoff.com or berghoff.com you could email them and find out. My other suggestion would be to donald90@example.net and ask them, but I bet asking the people with the last name Berghoff will get you the best answer.

    Kahal Adath Jeshurun. It is a seal of Rabbinical Supervision i.e. it's kosher.

    Yup! According to THIS that's it! Thanks!

    I've not had New Glarus Uff-Da Bock…YET! I like some of their offerings, dislike others.  
    But if it bothers you read my review. The Berghoff stuff doesn't get a real high score from me. My favorite bocks come directly from das Deutschland!

@Joey_P (Joey P) replied

    Of all the bocks I've tried, New Glarus is far and away my favorite with Optimator (I know, a dopplebock, but still) a close second. New Glarus is done making it for now, but I might still have a six pack or two in my store.

    I gave Optimator 3.8 out of 5 points.

    Since the OP was answered, let's move this to Cafe Society where you can expound on your favorite bock.
