CURRENTLY ON TAP

As of September 4th, 2025

CZECH PIVO

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

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

SOMMER KELLERBIER

Frranconian Pale Lager || 4.6% || Willi Becher
Taste: Lemon, Dry, Bitter
Notes: Inspired by the kellerbier of the Spezial Brewery in Franconia Germany. This beer displays a nice balance of malt breadiness and hop bite. Notes of lemon and citrus, light body, and an assertive bitterness for enhanced drinkability.

HOOTENANY

Berliner Weisse (Sour Wheat) || 3.5% || 14oz Willi Becher
Taste: Tart, Lemon, Dry
Notes: Now rarely seen as fruited sours have taken over in the US, the classic Berliner Weisse is low in alcohol, refreshingly tart, and served with woodruff or raspberry syrups. The Berliner Weisse presents a harmony between yeast and lactic acid. These beers are very pale in color, and may be cloudy as they are often unfiltered. Carbonation is very high, adding to the refreshment factor this style delivers.

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.

DUNKEL WEIZEN

Bavarian Dark Wheat Bier || 5.2% || Weisse Glass
Taste: Bread Pudding, Clove, Caramelized Banana
Notes: Caramelized banana flavors and strong clove aromas with hints of vanilla. This full bodied, low bitterness beer is delicious and cream yet with a refreshing finish from high carbonation. Dunkel = dark, Weizen = Wheat.

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.

FIRE WALK WITH ME

Amber Rauchbier ||  4.4% || Willi Becher
Taste: Smoky, Caramel, Hoppy
Notes: Traditional Amber beechwood smoked lager modeled after the smoked beers of Bamberg.

VIENNA LAGER

Austrian Amber Lager  ||  4.5%  || Willi Becher
Taste: Toast, Caramel, Pepper
Notes: Brewer and Vienna native Anton Dreher has been credited as the founder of the Vienna Lager style.  He created what is now known as Vienna malt and used this in the Vienna beer. Austrian’s took this style of beer to Mexico in the late 19th century where it has greatly influenced their beers.
