Although, with a name like that, it ought to be a doppelbock, which is a lager, not an ale.

1. American breweries

tend to part from naming conventions. I've seen a Hefeweizen called a "Hefeweizen Lager-Ale" whatever the hell that is.

2. The microbreweries usually don't.

4. don't part from naming conventions

at least, the ones I like, the ones started by serious homebrewers, don't.

5. Yeah, I can agree with that...

however, and to take my local brewpub into consideration (Look up the Hilltop Brewery on Pubcrawler.com ...it's in Virginia Beach), some brewers don't know beer from piss, and that is reflected in their products.

At this particular brewery, the brewmaster took all of his bad habits of homebrewing to the micro-brew. It's a shame, too, because the Hilltop is the only brewery around here.
