Stone's Throw Bremerhaven Altbier

Translated as “old beer”, our Altbier is based on the traditional style found along the northern German coast . The style’s name refers to this beer’s brewing process compared to the “new” style lagers that stormed the world in the late 1800’s. An ale yeast is fermented at a cooler temperature for a longer period of time than usual, giving this hybrid characteristics of both an ale & lager much like its cousin Kolsch. The distinct hop bite is accompanied by bready flavors and a clean finish, proving the north remembers how to party just like their Bavarian brethren. Limited Release. O.G. 1049, IBU 37, ABV 5%
