Hopfen Doof
KC Bier Co.

Hopfen Doof means “hop stupid” and is KCBC’s American interpretation of a high gravity German Alt, which is why we have given it the designation – Double Alt. Alt means “old” and refers to the old style of warm, top-fermenting beers (i.e., ales) that were predominant before cold, bottom-fermenting lagers became the predominant beer style in Germany. Our yeast strain comes from Dusseldorf, the epicenter of Alt brewing. Since this is an American interpretation of an Alt, Hopfen Doof is dry-hopped with a new German aroma variety, Mandarina, and Centennial, a popular North American hop. The assertive bitterness, citrus and mint aromas, and smooth round maltiness will appeal to American IPA lovers.
