(New Glarus, WI) – New Glarus Brewing has even more going than its busy Unplugged schedule. Unplugged Apple Ale, which is slated for a November release, will be joined around the same time by a new beer in the brewery’s seasonal line: Alt. The alternative style trend is certainly picking up steam (more on that this weekend).

According to the site description: “Saluting our continued survival on this planet we decided to go all out with New Glarus Alt. This is a bold and racy toffee laced departure from the typical Dusseldorf style. Enjoy now or if you are the investment type lay it down. At twenty degrees Plato this might be more accurately termed a Triple Alt. The brilliant bronze body was cultivated in a three hour kettle boil of Caramel malts and Raw Turbinado Sugar. Aged on oak in open top fermenters followed by a second round of bottle conditioning. A firm head of foam sweeps brisk hop notes of Syrian Golding and German Hallertau to your nose. A defiant anomaly tenacious and independent this is a flavor experience to relish.”
