As of February 2nd, 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.
cERNÉ SPEZIAL
Black Lager || 5.8% || Czech Mug || 15° P
Taste: Cacao, Toasted Dark Bread, Full Finish
Notes:In the Czech Republic, beers are categorized by color and strength, and here we have Černé Pivo (Black Beer) at a higher strength (15 plato and 5.8% ABV). Everything you love about our cult-classic Černé Pivo, just more!
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.
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.
ZWICKEL BIER
Bavarian Pale Lager || 4.5% || Willi Becher
Taste: Zesty, Bready, Floral
Notes: 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.
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.
STICKE ALTBIER
Strong Dusseldorf-style Altbier || 6.5% || Willi Becher
Taste: Malty, Caramel, Toast
Notes: Sticke Bier is a name given to a strong dry-hopped version of the top-fermented Dusseldorf-style Altbier, generally described as being higher in alcohol and more assertive in character than the traditional version.
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.
THE BLACK LODGE
Dunkel Rauchbier || 4.5% || Willi Becher
Taste: Beechwood Smoke, Malt, Toffee
Notes: A traditional smoked lager modeled after the smoked beers of Bamberg using rauch (smoked) malt. Beechwood smoke is used to dry the barley during malting, resulting in a smoky aroma and hint of smoke in the flavor. Single decocted, spunded and lagered forever. The Black Lodge is the perfect balance between the malt and smoke with medium hop bitterness and a clean lager fermentation character.
