Week 6 of 52
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.

erik says Alt meets Herkiburger

Thanks to Ret for organizing a great Brew52 get together. Thanks Ret.
And thank you Herkimer for a hopped up Alt beer paired with a burger topped with mozzarella cheese, tobacco onions, bacon, and a raspberry bbq sauce on a toasted bun. I enjoyed the Alt, but it was a little bitey for me. I really enjoy a hoppy beer, but this one had something else going on that wasn’t screaming at me. I must say though, I used to be a smoker, and this combination really made me want a cigarette…oh, oopsi had one that night. mmmm…oooooooo…crap
