To commemorate our 500th batch, we are borrowing a tradition from the Altbier brewers of Germany in which a “sticke” or “secret” recipe is developed for an annual brew of a bigger, bolder version of our year-round Alt, Co-Founder and Head Brewer Kevin Blodger created his own secret recipe variation of UNION Craft’s award-winning Balt Alt.
Using 50% more of the same malts found in Balt: Pils, Munich, CaraMunich and Carafa and additional noble German hops in the kettle and also in the dry hop, Balt The More showcases both the German malt character and the earthy, herbal, floral aroma of these beautiful German hops. MALT: Pils, Munich, CaraMunich, Carafa
HOPS: German Noble Hop Blen. Yeast Alt.

Can, from the brewery. Pours murky reddish dark brown with small creamy beige head, woodsy caramel aroma, low carbonation, woodsy taste with bourbon undertones, thin body, long boozy finish. Boozy but good.

Some roast and a hint of wood. Pours black with good head and lacing. Light bittersweet finish. Thick consistency. A little more like a stout than an altbier but still pretty good. Tap.
