Aarhus Bryghus Old Strong Ale is brewed with a small proportion of smoked malt from the museum brewery and maltings ‘Den Gamle By’ (The old town) in Aarhus.
We recommend a visit to the brewery, where a reconstruction of the brewery in a scale 1:20 is working and producing malt and beers, as they were made 200 years ago. As the sprouted barley is dried over an open fire, the malt is smoked. The Strong Ale or Stock Ale as it also was called, was used many hundreds of years ago to mix with the much weaker ales, when they went sour. Today we enjoy it on its own.
Aarhus Brewery Old Strong Ale is a golden, majestically beer, spiced with classic English hops, with 8 % Alc.
