You were a most gracious host on Wednesday for the first official Brew52 meet up. You brew a mean Alt Bier, which I found to be nice and hoppy, not too bitter, and actually quite creamy. You also make some really tasty dipping sauces. I especially enjoyed dipping my mini burgers in your tangy ketchup. Yum. Thanks for supporting Brew52 and I look forward to tasting more of your great beers. Oh and even though I didn’t take advantage of it, thanks for having a shuffleboard!

No, seriously, Alt LOOOOVE you.” http://www.brew52.com/2008/week6/alt-love-you-no-seriously-alt-loooove-you/ http://www.brew52.com/2008/week6/alt-love-you-no-seriously-alt-loooove-you/#comments Sat, 09 Feb 2008 17:40:32 +0000 atankgirl http://www.brew52.com/2008/week6/alt-love-you-no-seriously-alt-loooove-you/ So, to my surprise, Alt was the name of the beer we were tasting, not the fancy schmany brand that Rett made to symbolize our Alt[ernative] meet-up this week. Also, to my surprise, this beer was INCREDible. It was like Newcastle (my all time favorite) on flavor steroids. Unfortunately for me, I was low on sleep, heavy on homework, and responsible for driving Nick back home, so I limited myself to just one (amazing) glass. I loved every last sip of it . . . dare I say, this is my first 5 star beer?!

The beer was good, the food was good, and I found all the brew52ers  to be an enjoyable group of people!  And as a bonus I won a 12 pack of the Summit Winter!

I’m always a little nervous meeting new people, so I am not sure I did a really good job evaluating the ALT, but I’m thinking it was pretty darn good. I will certainly visit the Herkimer again!
