SpecialDescription:Altbier is a German-style ale originating in Rhineland with a name which translates to “old beer.” This old style of making beer is a hybrid-process which involves brewing with a top-fermenting ale yeast and then aging at cooler temperatures, which is typical of lagers. The result is a clean, crisp beer which is full of flavour, yet easy drinking.
Using a multi-step mash process, our brewers have created a mahogany coloured beer with amazing body and mouthfeel. This brew is cool fermented and cold conditioned resulting in a refreshing, clean tasting ale.
A blend of the best Alberta-grown malted barleys - Superior Pale and Superior Pils – is enhanced by caramel and chocolate specialty malts. A combination of Tettnanger and Saaz hops round out this brew.
