TAP ROOM, BIERGARTEN, BREWERY

Full pours for on-site consumption (1/4 liter, 1/2 liter and liters) and cans to go. Communal tables, counter and table service, it's a place to socialize with friends or meet new ones. 

Open year-round (snow, sun, whatever), our 2000 sq ft Biergarten has a seating capacity of 250. Communal tables, heaters in the winter, umbrellas in the summer.

We hope that our brewery will provide customers a way to see the unique brewing processes and equipment we use - a traditional decoction brew-house, open and closed fermentation, horizontal lagering tanks, German gravity cask dispensing, and a Lukr draft system imported from the Czech Republic – tools, process and equipment that will allow a wide variety of lager and continental beer.

CURRENTLY ON TAP

As of September 8th, 2026

CZECH PIVO

TENNER

Czech Pale Lager || 4.0% || Czech Mug || 10° P
Taste: Lemon, Crispy, Black Pepper
Notes: The most widely consumed beer style in the country that consumes the most beer in the world. Brewed with floor-malted Czech barley and Saaz hops. Triple decocted, open fermented, naturally carbonated, lagered forever.

The standard

Czech Pils || 4.4% || Czech Mug || 12° P
Taste: Lemon, Malty Sweetness, Bread
Notes: Classic Czech pale lager, brewed with floor-malted Pils malt and Sterling hops. Double decoction, open fermentation, and extended lagering time bring a bit of Plzen to Brighton and Salem.

poloTMAVÝ

Czech Amber Lager || 4.2% || Czech Mug || 11° P
Taste: Toast, Caramel, Bread
Notes: Polotmavy is Czech for “half-dark,” this 11° Plato Czech Amber Lager is brewed with Czech floor malted pils Vienna and Munich malts for notes of toast, caramel and bread. Czech Sladek hops balance out the malt and provide a spicy finish. This beer also undergoes a unique mashing schedule known as an enhanced double decoction for a more complex malt flavor. Open fermented, naturally carbonated, lagered forever.

TMAVÝ

Czech Dark Lager || 4.5% || Czech Mug || 12° P
Taste: Sweet Dried Fruit, Toasted Dark Bread, Dry Finish
Notes: Tmavy is Czech for "dark". Double decocted, open fermented, naturally carbonated, lagered forever.

GERMAN & austrian BIER

DUNKEL WEIzen

Bavarian Dark Wheat Bier || 5.2% || Weisse Glass
Taste: Bread pudding, Clove, caramelized banana
Notes: Caramelized banana notes and strong clove aromas with hint of vanilla. This full bodied, low bitterness beer is delicious and creamy yet with a refreshing finish from high carbonation. Dunkel = Dark, Weizen = Wheat

HEFE WEISSE

Bavarian Wheat Bier || 5.2% || Weisse Glass
Taste: Clove, Banana, Full-bodied
Notes: Classic Bavarian wheat beer and one of the most technically challenging beers we make. Open fermented for maximum aroma and flavor, with clove and banana aromas formed from the unique Bavarian yeast.

GERMAN AFTERNOONS

German Pils || 4.5% || Willi Becher
Taste: Crisp, Dry, Hoppy
Notes:  Brewed with 100% Bavarian heirloom Pils malt, Perle, and Spalter Select hops and fermented with a classic bavarian yeast strain. German Afternoons has an upfront malt fullness that quickly leads to a pleasant drying balanced bitterness. The floral hop aroma comes from Notch's favorite German variety - Spalter Select. Named for the John Prine album, a German Afternoon is a spontaneous afternoon spent enjoying yourself, with a beer or two, instead of doing the errands or chores you "should" be doing.

KÖLSCH

Cologne-style Kölsch || 4.5% || Willi Becher
Taste: Bread, Fruit, Biscuit
Notes: Medium in body with a soft mouthfeel and a straw yellow or pale gold color, Kölsch has a spicy, herbal Noble hop bitterness that is medium to slightly assertive—less than a Pilsner, but not by much. A somewhat fruity or vinous (grape-y from malts) quality and a crisp, dryish finish make up the rest of the flavor profile.

Order it by the Kranz (Kölsch tray), the equivalent of 2 liters of beer in 10 stangen (Kölsch glasses) $30

RAUCH WEISSE 

Franconian Smoked Wheat Bier || 5.2% || Weisse Glass
Taste: Clove, Banana, Beechwood Smoke
Notes: Franconian-style smoked wheat beer rarely found outside of the Franconian region of Bavaria. Brewed with rauch pils malt and wheat, open fermented for maximum aroma and flavor, with beechwood smoke, clove, and banana aromas formed from our unique decoction mashing process.

SALEM LAGER

Bavarian Helles || 4.5% || Willi Becher
Taste: Bright, Clean, Subtle Sweetness
Notes: A classic style from Munich, and what the Bavarians created after the Czech’s discovered Pilsner. Less hoppy than the Pilsner, Helles is malt driven and the flavor is clean and bright.

Sommer Keller

Franconian Pale Lager  ||  4.5%  || Willi Becher
Taste: Bright, Clean, Subtle Sweetness
Notes: Kellerbier, Zwickel, Ungespundet and Landbier are often used interchangeably in Bavaria, and the designation is usually determined by region or the brewer's whim. But these beers share similar traits in that they are not filtered (or fined),which results in a slight haze, and they are mostly served on draft. Our Kellerbier is a pale version with a slightly higher ABV than our Zwickelbier, and carries a bigger, firmer maltiness. 

ZWICKEL BIER

Bavarian Pale Lager  ||  4.5%  || Willi Becher
Taste: Zesty, Bready, Floral
Notes: An unfiltered Bavarian pale lager traditionally served with a slight haze direct from the lagering tank. Hopped with Spalt, this beer displays a nice balance of malt sweetness and hop bite. Notes of lemon and citrus, supported by a bready, light body.

Lager + Lemonade || 2.5% ABV || Willi Becher

SALZBURG RADLER

Lager + Grapefruit Soda || 2.5% ABV || Willi Becher
