Mad Science is always grounded in brewing history and in bygone tradition — action without knowledge… well that’s just madness. As we stride forward, we still look to the past for inspiration. That said, we’re pumped to drop a draft-only brew in one of our very favorite styles, Altbier.

Altbier uses a top fermenting yeast (like an ale) but is stored cold for a few weeks (like a lager) so you can think of it as something of a hybrid, or a different category altogether. There’s no doubt, though, that this classic beer has stood strong against flavorless beer for centuries.
