Aoltbeer – Sour beer

Beschreibung

More information about Aoltbeer Jan Kemker is a traditionalist. He does not long for the good old days, but is thirsty for the bridal pieces of the past. He satisfies this desire for the splendor of days long past with his own creations. His home town of Münster used to be a vibrant center of diverse beer culture with a whole range of its own specialties. Today, there is not much left of it and that is exactly what the ambitious brewer would like to change. Together with his partner Nicole, he has made it his goal to revive the historic art of brewing in the region. With great attention to detail and hand-picked raw materials, Kemker Kultuur brews the fine treasures from Münster’s history. An absolute crowd favorite in this special range is the so-called Aoltbeer. This brew is based on the historic sour beer from Westphalia. With the possibilities and limitations of brewers in the past in mind, Jan has developed a recipe that contains husks and cone hops. Instead of practical pellets, the brewer uses the entire untreated flower. After the brewing process, the fine beer is filled into red wine barrels and matured for more than a year in aromatic oak wood. This step gives the brew wine-like notes and a delicate acidity that perfectly complements its character. Due to the barrel maturation, each new edition of Aoltbeer is unique in its taste. We have the classic version and the one with cherries and blackcurrant.
