Brew52

Alt Bier at the Herkimer

February 4th thru 10th

Brewer's Description

Copper-colored and hoppy, this beer is most easily compared to a German form of a pale ale. Popular around Dusseldorf, the name means simply "old" and recalls a time before Germany made primarily lagers. This beer features a high bitterness and aroma characteristic of generous additions of hops to the brew.

Alt Bier was a Gold Medal winner at the 2007 Great American Beer Festival.
