It’s may be September, but it’s never too late for a Beer Camp… Ok, maybe we should start drinking them faster before we need to review the fall seasonal beers. This camp is kind of like college… we just never want to leave. We’re even gonna be campers when we’re old, wrinkly, and grumpy. A summer camp full of smelly, grumpy, old people! Sounds hot right? We know…

Sierra Nevada Brewing & Victory Brewing : Beer Camp : Alt Route

What a great name for a beer. I mean, why not take an alternative route? Let’s make like Robert Frost and take the road less traveled… don’t you want to be a follower of your own desires? Let’s be inspirational god-damnit! Express ourselves through true character, showcase our behaviors, flaws, and strengths through the trials, tribulations, and experiences we’ve been through thus far in our ever-enduring lives! And for that, we deserve to sit down every once in awhile and crack open a beer. It’s summer camp after all! Kumbaya mothaf***a!

Alt Route is an Altbier, which is typically, a German-style brown ale. These beers tend to be balanced, medium bodied, possessing smooth toasted malt notes, subtle ale yeast “fruit-like” notes, and balanced grassy/citrus German hop aromas/flavors. This beer does just that with a shining blanket of mineral, earthy notes from beginning to end. Alt route has lingering notes of caramel and hazelnut. Robust, yet clean and crisp, with a drier toasted malt and lemongrass finish.

Victory Brewing… the quintessential camper we got here. What a “victory” lap it must be to carve their own alternative paths through the beer camp tour and the craft beer industry. Must’ve been planned alllll along. Drink Responsibly. Over & Out.
