CURRENTLY ON TAP

As of October 25, 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.

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

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.

ROTBIER

Nuremberg Red Lager || 5.0% || Willi Becher
Taste: Caramel Nuts, Bisquit, Toasted Malt
Notes: A rarely found style originating from Nuremberg in Franconia. The red color comes from the unique Francoinian malt, as well as an extended decoction and wort boiling. Double decocted, naturally carbonated, and conditioned in horizontal lagering tanks for two months.

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.

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.

FESTBIER

Bavarian Festbier || 5.5% || Steinkrug
Taste: Bready malt, Spicy hops, Dry finish
Notes: This is the beer served in the Munich tents during Oktoberfest, and is often referred to as “Wiesen” which is “meadow” in German. It is paler in color and not as cloyingly sweet as the amber Oktoberfests exported to the US

OTheR BEER STYLES

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.

GARAGELAND

Cold IPA || 6.2% || Willi Becher
Taste: Stonefruit, Candied Lime, Marmelade 
Notes: Cold fermented with Kolsch yeast and dry hopped with Styrian Wolf and Dragon.

BEER TO-GO

AVAILABLE WHENEVER THE TAP ROOM & BIERGARTEN IS OPEN. ORDER AT THE BAR UPON ARRIVAL

THE CROW - 16oz 4-packs

Vienna Corn Lager || 4.2% || Willi Becher
Taste: Woody, biscuit sweetness, spice
Notes: The Crow uses the Valley’s Standard Pilsner malt and Vienna Maize. The Vienna Maize is what gives the Crow its golden hue and brings a subtle biscuit-y sweetness. We enjoy the depth of flavor and versatility that corn brings to our beers. We also dry hop the Crow post fermentation and at a lower temperature with Crystal hops which have an earthy, woody spice and subtle floral notes.

ZWICKEL BIER - 16oz 4-packs

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.

ALTBIER - 16oz 4-packs

Dusseldorf-style Altbier || 4.5% || Willi Becher
Taste: Malt, Caramel, Toast
Notes: An ale fermented like a lager (long, slow, and cold) delivers a snappy bitterness with rounded notes of dark crusty bread and caramel. Sweet vanilla notes balance earthy bitterness, giving this beer a unique layered flavor.

FIRE WALK WITH ME - 16oz 4-packs

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

LOST IN THE DREAM - 16oz 4-packs

TAP ROOM:

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. 

BIERGARTEN:

Open year-round (snow, sun, whatever), our 2000 sq ft Biergarten has a seating capacity of 200. Heaters in the winter, umbrellas in the summer, as well as additional seating on the harborwalk.

BREWERY:

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 draft system imported from the Czech Republic – tools, process and equipment that will allow a wide variety of session beer (and occasionally non-session beer) to be produced.
