Flavor Profile and Aroma:

Deer Lord is a classic Düsseldorf-style Altbier with a smooth, malt-forward character and refined hop balance. Aromas of toasted bread, caramel, and subtle earthy hops greet the nose, while the flavor delivers notes of biscuit, mild chocolate, and a touch of roast. A clean, moderate bitterness rounds out the finish, making it both flavorful and approachable.

Appearance:

Pours a clear amber to copper hue with a creamy off-white head and strong clarity. The appearance reflects the traditional German altbier style.

Mouthfeel:

Medium-bodied with moderate carbonation. The mouthfeel is smooth, slightly creamy, and refreshingly crisp, allowing the malt complexity to shine without heaviness.

Story and Accolades:

Originally crafted by Historic Brewing’s first head brewer, Deer Lord quickly became a local favorite. This altbier was celebrated for its balance and depth, and after fan demand, it returned to the lineup with a refined recipe. Its connection to the region extends beyond the brewery—proceeds from Deer Lord support local wildlife conservation efforts through partnerships with organizations like the Arizona Mule Deer Association.

Food Pairing:

Perfect with roasted or grilled meats, especially game like elk or venison. The beer’s malt profile complements dishes such as herb-crusted pork, grilled bratwurst, and mushroom risotto. For a bold pairing, serve it with an elk tenderloin and chimichurri sauce, or finish a meal with a bite of dark chocolate cake or German chocolate torte.
