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.
POLOTMAVY
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. 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 Pivo
Czech Black Lager || 4.5% || Czech Mug || 12° P
Taste: Cacao, Toasted Dark Bread, Dry Finish
Notes: Cerne is Czech for “black”. This cold weather cult classic has toasty and slightly roasted malt character. Notes of dark chocolate and coffee make this beer perfect for a chilly evening. Double decocted, open fermented, naturally carbonated, lagered forever.
GERMAN BIER
ALTBIER
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.
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.
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.
SMALL BEER
Bavarian Small Beer || 3.1% || Willi Becher
Taste: Caramel, Coffee, molasses
Notes:A small beer often refers to a brewing technique where the last runnings from a mash of stronger beer is collected to ferment a lighter, lower-alcohol beer. In our case we used the last runnings of our 8% ABV Doppelbock Loggerhead, and were able to collect enough wort for a finished beer of 3.1% ABV.
STICKE ALTBIER
Strong Dusseldorf-style Altbier || 6.9% || 0.25L || Altbier Glass
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.

SALZBURG RADLER
Lager + Grapefruit Soda || 2.5% ABV || Willi Becher
