A robust, bitter altbier in there. I wasn't as impressed with the Fuchschen alt (though the bottle was bast the best before), but worth a go if you are nearby.<BR/><BR/>The oldest altbier brewery in the world is apparently Bolten's, based 15 or so km west of Düsseldorf. Founded in 1266, but I don't know if it was alt they were making then. I gave Mr BeerNut a bottle of their Ur-Alt, so I'm looking forward to his tasting notes.<BR/><BR/>I really need to put up more notes on the alts I've tried myself!Barry Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07367655129107699025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6291499137127413508.post-17921765841522560992008-12-04T06:35:00.000+00:002008-12-04T06:35:00.000+00:00Enjoy the Alt - when I was in Berlin back in May (...Enjoy the Alt - when I was in Berlin back in May (when the sun shone and the brewpub was superb) we found a street fair where one of the stalls was from Schumacher, the oldest Alt makers in Dusseldorf I believe, wonderful beer, simply wonderful. Mrs Velkyal took a pic of me holding my pint with an insane smile on my face because finally I had the real thing.Alistair Reecehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15929927359428659775noreply@blogger.com
