**** Michael Jackson’s Pocket Guide to Beer, p 36:
“UERIGE …is the most assertive, complex and characterful of the Alts. Düsseldorfer Altbier is one of Germany’s great beer styles. Uerige Alt is in my view the finest example of the style, and one of Germany’s truly great beers. I love it for its big, spicy hop aroma; its firm, malty, middle; and its confidently dry, appetising, finish. No short cuts, no compromises: a beer that punches it weight.”
Of all German beers, UERIGE ALT has the highest content of bitter constituents. In spite of or maybe because of this, our legendary Altbier from Düsseldorf is full-bodied, aromatic, and agreeable.
This top-fermented specialty has been brewed since 1862, and is made of barley malt, caramel malt, roasted malt, umbel hops and water - plus of course our special UERIGE yeast.
