Miracle Altbier

Commercial Description:
The beer is finds it inspiration in Germany. The first beer we've brewed is a German Altbier. Traditionally this is an ale, ie. a topfermented beer, but in our version it is a bottom fermented beer, though fermented at higher temperatures, which lends it the characteristics of a top fermented beer. Actually it is a clone of a top fermented and a bottom fermented beer, since it ferments for 28-30 days, starting at rather high temperatures, which is lowered gradually, so it matures the last 10-14 days at 2-4 degrees Centigrade. The result is an ale from the English tradition, but also with some of the characteristics of the way lagers are brewed.
