COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Carnival comes but once a year - and you can only enjoy Sticke beer at Uerige twice a year. It contains more malt and hops and has a higher alcoholic content than normal Altbier. And our guests appreciate it! In earlier days it used to be whispered hand over mouth that Uerige was serving Sticke again because the master brewer had portioned the ingredients too generously. With today's fully-automated operation, this could not happen. So Sticke beer is brewed intentionally - and this certainly doesn't negatively effect either its quality or taste.

The two dates every year are always the same. The third Tuesday in January and October are the two Sticke days.

Beershine (4561) - The Sunshine State, Florida, USA - APR 24, 2009
Mousy brown color, clear until the sediment is poured in. Lingering beige cap. Sweet doughy aroma, cookie dough with raisins. Low carbonation, very soft mouthfeel. Interesting flavors, the bitterness is pronounced of the herbal, spicy zone. The sweet malt balances it out. Very interesting brew, can’t wait to visit Dusseldorf...
