Kemker Aoltbeer Blend 2021-01 (Cherries and Sloeberries)

Brewery: Kemker Kultuur
Country: Germany
ABV: 6%

Brewer Description: (from bottle) Aoltbeer is the historic beer of Münster. The beers in this blend matured on average for 10 months in red wine barrels. In this time the beer developed its fruity and wine-like character. For this small blend no. 01-2021 we have used cherries and sloeberries picked by ourselves, as well as black currants from local organic farmer Maria Plage.
