Brian has another hyper regional style coming your way! Altbier hails from Dussedorf nestled in the northwest region of Germany. This specific style of beer is a malt forward classic ale with lager like attributes. Brian features a beer from famed east coast brewery, Tree House, as they continue to dominate and branch away from their Hazy IPA reputation. Come for the history and stay for the beer. Now, grab one of your own and sit back, relax, and enjoy the episode!

Cheers Beers!
