Eight Mile Altbier
A crisp rendition of the classic ales of Düsseldorf, Eight Mile Altbier is remarkably smooth and richly copper-hued. This is an ideal session bier, brewed to a gentle strength with one of the cleanest palates you’re likely to find. Lightly hopped and not too sweet. A rendition of Eightmile Alt - Fish Brewing Co. Olympia, WA
