Fort Wayne turkey Trot Show

Local can of the year Alps Brau. A limited release, event can, was produced for the 2020 Fort Wayne Brewery Collectibles show. Brewed and packaged by members of the BCCA / NABA Three Rivers Chapter, with awesome help from Mike Flaherty at GnomeTown Brewing. This is a nostalgic re-make of the Cool, Crisp, Clear, Bavarian Style “Alps Brau” that was first brewed in 1957 at the Centlivre Brewery, here in Fort Wayne. After the closing of Old Crown in 1973, Peter Hand Brewing of Chicago continued to brew Alps Brau until 1980.
