This beer is brewed with more malt and hops, and is much richer than Uerige’s Alt. The unusual name derives from olden days, when the guests would whisper (‘stickum’ being a dialect term for whispering) that the master brewer must have been a little too generous when weighing out the ingredients. Thanks to the 6% ABV, Uerige Sticke can be stored for much longer than the declared and guaranteed minimum shelf life.
