Altes Brisk Lager Beer Flat Top Can

Altes Brisk Lager: A Detroit Classic

This flat-top can showcases Altes Lager, a Detroit beer with a rich history. Originally brewed at the Tivoli Brewery in the early 1900s, Altes quickly became a local favorite, even enduring Prohibition and later sponsoring Detroit sports teams. The "Brisk" variety highlights the beer's refreshing, crisp character. Altes's success continued for decades before eventually ceasing production. The brand was later revived by a group of local enthusiasts, who aimed to recapture the original European-style lager that once defined Detroit's brewing scene. The can itself represents a piece of Detroit's brewing heritage, a testament to the enduring popularity of Altes.

The brewery's commitment to quality, using 100% barley malt and German imported hops, demonstrates the care taken in its brewing process. The relaunch of Altes in 2019 marked a return to the city's historic brewing traditions and provided a nostalgic experience for long-time fans, while also introducing a new generation to this iconic Detroit beverage.
