Orbit Beers, is a Walworth (South Elephant & Castle) based brewery that loves music as much as beer. They create delicious beers to a soundtrack of classic and contemporary tunes.

Orbit Beers, Neu Altbier, Walworth, London
4.7% alcohol
Altbier is a style of beer produced exclusively in Dusseldorf and now Walworth. I opened the bottle, poured a glass to contemplate, and what seemed like moments later the beer was gone. I quickly wished I had a second bottle. This is real beer, of depth and complexity. I’d loosely describe it as the finest English ale with carbonation but this is doing it an injustice. It reminds me a little Of Meantime’s London Pale Ale, but with more balls. It is slightly nutty, malty, dry and with no overt hops. Cracking, sophisticated stuff. 9/10
