Altbierbowle

Altbierbowle is a beer-based mixed drink that hails from Germany. The drink combines beer, fruit syrup, and fruit. Although it resembles a punch bowl, this German specialty is made with altbier—a traditional German beer style from Düsseldorf that falls somewhere between a lager and an ale.


To make the drink, altbier is poured into a bowl. It is then mixed with fruit syrups and sliced fruit. Traditionally, it is made with strawberries and raspberries, but variations can include various fruits. Altbierbowle is usually associated with North Rhine-Westphalia, a region where altbier also originated.


It can be served in bowls or as an individual drink, usually served in beer mugs.
