CURRENTLY ON TAP

As of February 27th, 2026

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 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.

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.

FIRE WALK WITH ME

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

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.

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.

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.

WINTER BOCK

Bock || 6.2% || Willi Becher
Taste: Caramel, Toasted Bread, Spicy
Notes: Enhanced Double Decoction, richly complex malt character that comes from Barke Munich malt along with a small percentage of darker roasted specialty malts which lend some caramel sweetness to the toasted bread character, spicy, herbal notes from german hops.

ZWICKEL BIER

Bavarian Pale Lager  ||  4.5%  || Willi Becher
Taste: Zesty, Bready, Floral
