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.

What a great meet-up at the Herkimer!!! 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!
