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.

Erin says Good company, fine beer
February 6th, 2008
It was great to meet some of you at the Herkimer tonight! I took some photos that can be found here. As usual, I didn’t like this beer - perhaps it was too hoppy for me? Although I’m not really sure what that means. I had a Sky Pilot after sampling the Alt, and I liked that one a whole lot better.
