Pinkus Munster Alt (ABV 5.1%) has a pale, golden color with an excellent, herbaceous aroma, delicate fruit-acid palate, and long dry finish. Brewed with water, organic barley malt, organic wheat malt, organic hops, and yeast, it is an Altbier: “Alt” is the German word for “old” or “original” and the alt style is certainly older than German lager styles. Today, alt – an ale – is a specialty of Westphalia, in Northern Germany. 16.9 oz bottle.

Serving Suggestion:

Cured ham, sweetbreads, lasagna, as an aperitif with a dash of flavored syrup (raspberry, lime or cherry), light breads, croissants, pizza, corn tortillas. Serve in thin, delicate, straight glasses garnished with fresh fruit.

Brewery Information:

The Pinkus-Muller Brewery, or Brauerei Pinkus Müller, as it’s known locally, traces its origins to the family’s arrival in the Northern German town of Munster in 1816. At that time, Johannes Müller and his wife Friederika Cramer started an altbier brewery and a bakery. Since their arrival, 150 breweries have come and gone from Munster. Only Pinkus remains. Today, the fifth and sixth generations of the family operate the famous Pinkus-Muller Pub/Brewery. So dedicated to quality is Pinkus, that they are the first all organic brewery of the modern era to brew with only organically-grown barley malt and whole hop blossoms. Pinkus Brewery is certified organic by USDA-accredited ABCERT GmbH.
