Tanner Brewing Co. – German Altbier (473ml)

Altbier is one of Germany’s best beer styles. Originally from the city of Düsseldorf, it is an amber coloured ale that has been fermented at cooler temperatures (like a lager), and then left to cold condition (also like a lager) for long periods of time. This process creates a finished beer that drinks a lot like, you guessed it, a lager. Crisp, light, refreshing, and endlessly drinkable.

Tanner’s Altbier is a version of Altbier called a Sticke Alt. This classic style differs from a traditional Altbier by being darker, fuller bodied and more intense in flavor with higher bitterness to balance out the caramel & molasses flavours. This is a style of Alt that was brewed once a year in its home city as a celebratory beer, but has since been adopted by craft brewers as a unique take on a classic style.
