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.

That was pretty well laid out last night. Free drink, complimentary bottle opener, raffle prizes, custom name tags. Brew52 goes all out. I posted a few pictures on my blog.
Now to the beer. Maybe I was hoping for to much, maybe I was still reeling a bit from the food poisoning that took me down over the weekend, whatever it was I don’t know the beer just didn’t sit right with me. A bit to sweet perhaps, a bit to syrupy in the after taste, something just didn’t click for me. Was it terrible? By no means, just not something I’d continue to order.
I think I’ll stick to Schell’s Schmalt’s Alt as my favorite alt beer.
