Adambier as historical sour beer (left)

Adambier , is a slightly sour historical beer from Dortmund , which is brewed in top-fermentation with a high original wort content and traditionally stored for up to two years before bottling.

The word Adambier has been trademarked by the revived Dortmund Bergmann Brewery , so that other breweries in Germany like The Monarchy , who brew an Adambier, sell it under alternative names like Methuselah .
