Week 41 RBI

Alt Beir

Alt is a German style of ale, untypically top fermented at cold "lager type" temperatures, and aged for a short period of time. In German, alt means old. This is the way Germans made beer before the discovery of bottom fermenting lager yeasts. They are usually well balanced (malty and hoppy).
