Cooking / Culinary | | German term or phrase: Altbier | | It's in another recipe (involving Blutwurst - you don't want to know!). A couple of tablespoons in the list of ingredients, what's the nearest English equivalent? I somehow associate Altbier with the Duesseldorf Altstadt (misspent youth) so is it lager from Duesseldorf? |

| | Altbier | Explanation:
Here is link to the Bierlexikon of the Brauerbund. Guys who should know:))
At first I thought like you that Lager and Altbier would be the same but that's wrong. Altbier is "obergärig" and Lager "untergärig"!!
(Whatever that means:))
As they say that Altbier is a very regional thing, I'd leave it as it is. Maybe we/you/someone will find an English beer with similar qualities ... but with the German Reinheitsgebot that will be hard!:)
Prost!! |
