BREWER'S NOTES:
Altes Reborn
Craft brewed in Detroit and locally owned again, Altes is Back! In 2016, three local beer lovers, Eric, Carl, and Pat, launched an effort to restore the beer to its original glory. They wanted to emulate the original refreshing European style Altes lager that Detroiters loved. So they turned to our friends at Traffic Jam & Snug, the original Detroit brewpub, and Brew Detroit, Corktown’s state of the art production brewery, to perfect an approach to creating a full bodied but perfectly balanced German Helles lager. The resulting recipe cuts no corners. We use 100% barley malt and 100% German imported hops to create a supremely drinkable local Detroit lager that honors the city's beer heritage.
