The German altbier style isn't one you see a lot of in Australia - particularly not in a brewery's core range. Yet, when The Crafty Pint first called through King River's brewery, it was the beer we were keen to go back to once the tasting paddle was drained. It turns out it's proving rather popular with the High Country pubs stocking King River beers too.
It's a traditionally minded take on the style, pouring a deep brown and mixing nutty aromas with those of caramel and following up with layers of malt driven flavour that's wrapped up by a drying, earthy bitterness.
