The Olde Mecklenburg Brewery

🌍 United States · Altbier · One of 20 Altbiers in hopIQ

OMB's flagship, an authentic Düsseldorf-style Altbier — a 'lagered ale' brewed with noble Bavarian hops and traditional decoction. Copper-hued and full-flavoured, with toasty caramel malt giving way to a crisp, clean, smooth and remarkably refreshing finish. Beer made the old-fashioned way.
