Ingredients

No recipe for the Altbier is published. The brewery says all of its beers are brewed on site with naturally gluten-free malt made from local ancient grains "like millet and buckwheat", sourced from its sister company Grouse Malt House (The Well: FAQ); that is a brewery-wide statement, so no grain is entered for this beer.

Brewing Details

Style Context

As category context only, the Brewers Association guidelines for Gluten-Free Beer require every ingredient to be free of gluten, exclude barley, wheat, spelt and rye, and let ABV, IBU and color vary with the underlying style, judging entries on their own merits. The same guidelines describe Altbier as a copper to dark brown Dusseldorf ale with medium to high bitterness, 4.6 to 5.6 percent ABV and 25 to 52 IBU. With no published specs, fit cannot be assessed.

Research Notes

• The brewery's home page says The Well is currently closed while it plans what is next; the Colorado Brewery List entry (updated September 14, 2026) marks it temporarily closed and has no beer information.
• The brewery URL comes from the Colorado Brewery List entry and was confirmed by the site's own address and name.
• ABV, IBU, hops and a description of the Altbier were not found on the brewery's home, menu, our story or FAQ pages; one web search found no other listing for the beer.
• No 2026 medal announcement was found on the brewery's site.
• Researched 2026-10-13.
• Second pass 2026-10-13: Exact beer and brewery searches with Untappd, ABV, BeerMenus and 2026 GABF found medal coverage but no additional specifications. No beer-specific grain, hop or yeast declaration was found.
• Field pass 2026-10-13: New recipe-focused searches yielded only medal coverage, with no ABV, IBU, brewery beer page or named hops; earlier exact-name Untappd and BeerMenus searches were not repeated.
• Deep dive pass 2026-10-14: the brewery site was read again; it has no Altbier description.
