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.

Now, I have a bias against the Herkimer. I just don’t have a high opinion of the joint. Don’t care for the food and don’t like that the only beer I can drink when I’m there is theirs. So that said, I thought this beer tasted like the rice vinegar that was sitting on the table next to me.

Don, did the Herkimer steal your girlfriend or something? You are clearly player-hating here.

You wouldn’t want me to hate the game, would you?
