THE STANDARD
Czech Pils || 4.4% || Czech Mug || 12° P
Taste: Lemon, Malty Sweetness, Bread

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

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
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.
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.
FIRE WALK WITH ME

Taste: Smoky, Caramel, Hoppy
Notes: Traditional Amber beechwood smoked lager modeled after the smoked beers of Bamberg.
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.
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.
