As of July 19, 2025
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 BIER
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.
HOOTENANY
Berliner Weisse (Sour Wheat) || 3.5%
Taste: tart, lemon, dry
Available with Raspberry or Woodruff syrups
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.
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.
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.
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.
DUNKEL BIER
Munich-style Dark Lager || 5.2% || Willi Becher
Taste: Bread Crust, Caramel, Toast
Notes: Our Munich Dark Lager uses 100% Munich malt with a unique mashing process known as an enhanced double decoction. Notes of bread crust, caramel, and toast with an aroma of toasted dark bread from the Munich malt. Dunkel was the most widely consumed lager in Bavaria previous to pale lager taking over.
AMERICAN ALES
DOG & PONY SHOW
New England Pale Ale || 4.5% || Willi Becher
Taste: Bright, Kiwi, Pink Grapefruit
Notes: Brewed with wheat and pils malt, and hopped with only Citra.
OTHER STYLES
OVER IT
British Dark Mild 3.8% Willi Becher
Taste: Bread crust, caramel, toast
Notes: Once the most widely consumed style in England (until Bitter took over), malt and caramel are part of the flavor and aroma profile of the English-style mild. Though a darker beer, there is only a subtle roast character.
charlestown porter
London Porter || 5.4% || Willi Becher
Taste: Cocoa, Roasty, Dry Finish
Notes: A beer from Chris' brewing past that he brewed in the Tremont Brewery in Charlestown. While close to the original, the original yeast used is no longer available, so we used another classic London strain. A classic London style Ale that highlights chocolate and roasty notes, and while full, does not finish sweet. The style gained popularity, especially among working-class Londoners, due to its affordability and robust flavor. Porter also was the first beer to be brewed globally, before the rise of pale ale and pilsner.
gLUTEN FREE/NOT BEER
CITRUS RADLER
Gluten Free w/ Blood Orange Juice || 5.0% || 12 oz Can, Willi Becher

Notes: The Mule uses heritage corn grown in Massachusetts and malted by Valley Malt in Hadley MA. Corn you say? Yes corn. It is a wonderful grain to use in lager, as it mellows the barley and provides a bit of perceived sweetness in the aroma.
