Academic Alt

Our Alt is a unique hybrid beer that combines elements of an Altbier with a touch of Kölsch character. The use of BlueOx, Victory, brown, and chocolate malts creates a beer with a nuanced malt profile, showcasing toasty, biscuity, nutty, and subtle roasty flavors. The traditional German hop combination of Hallertauer Mittelfrueh and Hersbrucker contributes a balanced bitterness and a mild, spicy hop character. Kölsch yeast introduces an interesting twist, by adding some fruity esters and a clean fermentation profile, while the malt bill and hopping maintain the Altbier foundation.
